$100,000 in Upgrades • New Standing Rigging & Chainplates (2019) • Proven Bob Perry Bluewater Cruiser

The Tayana 48 is widely regarded as one of legendary designer Bob Perry's most successful offshore cruising yachts, combining excellent sailing performance, true bluewater capability, and the comfort expected in a world-class liveaboard cruiser.

SOLI DEO GLORIA is an exceptional example that has benefited from approximately $100,000 in recent upgrades and improvements, including one of the most significant investments any offshore sailor looks for: new standing rigging and chainplates completed in 2019. These major upgrades, combined with her extensive cruising equipment, make her a compelling choice for sailors seeking a vessel ready for extended coastal cruising, offshore passagemaking, or full-time liveaboard life.

Her striking Flag Blue hull, spacious center cockpit layout, and warm teak interior make her equally attractive at anchor, at the dock, or crossing oceans.
