Moody 48 Deck Salon

Details

A true expression of modern bluewater luxury, the Moody 48 Decksaloon captures the spirit of open-ocean adventure with the comfort and sophistication of a contemporary home. Designed by Bill Dixon, this yacht redefines single-level living at sea with its seamless connection between cockpit and salon — one continuous space protected by expansive glass and sheltered under a strong composite hardtop.

Step aboard and you’ll immediately appreciate Moody’s hallmark design: wide, secure side decks, a flush foredeck, and a deep, protected cockpit ideal for extended cruising. Every line and control is led aft for effortless short-handed sailing, while her powerful sail plan and balanced twin-rudder configuration ensure precision handling and confidence offshore.

Inside, the Decksaloon offers panoramic 360° views through oversized windows that flood the salon with natural light. The raised dining area, fully equipped galley, and generous navigation station create a space that feels more penthouse than passagemaker. Below, the luxurious owner’s stateroom features a full-beam layout, island berth, and ensuite head — complemented by beautifully finished guest cabins that offer comfort and privacy for family or crew.

Built in Germany by Hanse Yachts, the Moody 48 DS exemplifies precision engineering and craftsmanship, combining solid laminate construction, premium hardware, and meticulous joinery throughout. Whether crossing oceans or anchored in quiet coves, she delivers both elegance and capability in equal measure.

Now available through North 44 Yacht Sales, representing the finest in contemporary yacht design and European innovation.
