48' 2008 Kadey-Krogen 48 Widebody

KIMBERLY ANN is a 48' Krogen North Sea Widebody featuring a desirable three-cabin, two-head layout and is currently the latest model available on the market in this three-cabin configuration. The three-cabin arrangement offers a level of versatility not found in the standard two-cabin layout. The additional cabin provides two extra berths for family, guests, or crew. When not needed for accommodation, it easily serves as convenient storage space, a hobby room, or an ideal area for luggage and larger cruising gear. Just as importantly, this flexibility comes without compromising the comfort of the starboard guest cabin.

For today’s cruiser, this configuration enhances both livability and practicality, making KIMBERLY ANN especially well-suited for extended cruising or entertaining many guests aboard. She has been thoughtfully cared for by three resolute owners throughout her life. Her first owners equipped her for full-time Caribbean cruising and maintained her to exacting standards. The second owners expanded her cruising history along the Atlantic coast, through the Florida Keys, and into the Bahamas, upholding that same high level of care and meticulous maintenance. The current owners have continued this strong stewardship while enjoying local cruising and entertaining in the Carolinas.

Bright, open, and inviting, the saloon aboard KIMBERLY ANN welcomes you from the fully covered aft deck through double aluminum weather-tight doors. Designed for comfort and enjoyment, the space combines timeless yacht styling with a warm, airy atmosphere.

A free-standing teak hi/low table provides a versatile setting for dining or entertaining, while two Ekornes Stressless chairs offer an ideal place to relax. Natural ventilation is provided through three sliding screened windows, complemented by a Phantom retractable screen at the aft cockpit doors. Custom-fitted carpeting adds comfort underfoot and can be removed to reveal the rich teak flooring that runs throughout the interior. As the final 48' model built with the traditional molded headliner and teak accents, KIMBERLY ANN reflects the classic craftsmanship and interior character expected of a proper yacht.

The U-shaped Galley is just forward of the saloon on the starboard side. It is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, and the granite countertops provide plenty of room for meal preparation. Ventilation is provided through a sliding window with screen. Opposite the galley is a teak bookcase/bar with matching granite countertop and a 12" round opening portlight with screen.
