The San Juan 48 Flybridge blends timeless Downeast-inspired lines with modern performance and craftsmanship. This 2005 model offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive yachts in her class, designed and built in the Pacific Northwest for both elegance and capability.
Powered by twin Detroit diesels, she delivers cruising speeds in the mid-20 knot range and can reach into the 30s, with excellent seakeeping and efficiency. Her single baffled aluminum fuel tank holds approximately 720 gallons of diesel, giving her the range for extended coastal cruising.
The flybridge adds a commanding helm position and extra seating, enhancing visibility underway and providing an ideal social space. Below, the two-stateroom, two-head layout offers comfort for family or guests, while the salon and galley connect seamlessly with the cockpit for entertaining. Fine joinery, teak decks, and quality systems reflect San Juan’s renowned attention to detail.
With a shallow draft of just over 3 feet, the SJ48 can access harbors and anchorages that many yachts her size cannot. Her classic profile, open cockpit, and capable performance make her equally at home island-hopping, fishing, or entertaining at the dock.
This is a rare chance to acquire a flybridge version of the acclaimed San Juan 48—an iconic yacht that combines style, performance, and practicality.
