48' 2026 Barton & Gray Daychaser 48

All Daychaser's elegance sits above the highly engineered powertrain, safety equipment, and mechanicals in the engine room. The design brief draws on extensive experience in providing top-tier concierge yachting services for over 17 years, catering to the unique demands on yachts that are not typically found in recreational boats. Barton & Gray Mariners Club have identified areas where typical recreational equipment falls short and have made necessary modifications to ensure optimal yacht performance, creating a yacht that boasts unparalleled reliability. Powered by commercial-grade Cummins diesels and complemented by a generator and electrical system suitable for military use, the Daychaser is equipped with robust fire-fighting, weather-avoidance, drainage, and monitoring systems that meet the highest USCG safety standards.
