1988 Offshore Yachts 48'

1988 Offshore 48' Sedan – Proven Offshore Performance, Timeless Design

The Offshore 48' Sedan is a classic example of William Crealock’s renowned design—blending comfort, efficiency, and seakeeping ability into a timeless cruising platform. This two-stateroom, two-head layout is ideal for couples or families seeking extended cruising comfort without the complexity or operating costs of larger yachts.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 diesels (375 HP each), she offers a smooth, efficient cruise and legendary reliability. The spacious salon, featuring large windows, allows for panoramic views, while the galley-up design keeps everyone connected. Below, the master stateroom features a private ensuite head, and the guest stateroom offers a double bunk and its own head access.

The flybridge offers excellent visibility and ample seating, while wide side decks and Offshore’s signature hull design make her a true Northwest or coastal cruiser.

If you’re looking for a proven design known for quality construction, range, and comfort at sea, this Offshore 48’ Sedan deserves your attention.
