The Offshore design features spacious accommodations in two sleeping cabins. A v-berth in the forward cabin with private access to full guest head with separate shower and a centerline queen in the master stateroom with an ensuite head with separate tub/shower. She has a raised main salon, a galley down forward.

Built by Tung Hwa in Taiwan, the Offshore 48 is a traditional aft cabin cockpit yacht with a distinctive trawler-style appearance and versatile interior layout. The low-freeboard hull is cored from the chine up, and a generous 15'6"" beam allows for wide walkaround side decks that are protected with raised bulwarks. This Offshore has a comfortable two-stateroom galley-down floorplan. A serving counter overlooks the galley, and large windows provide plenty of natural lighting throughout the salon. A lower helm and dual sliding deck doors are standard. Aft, the full-beam master stateroom with ensuite head features teak cabinetry and a large window and door leading aft to the cockpit. The forward guest stateroom has a V-berth. Both heads contain separate stall showers. The aft deck offers plenty of space for a variety of deck furniture. Although called a Yachtfisher, the cockpit is best suited for boarding and swimming. Equipped with twin 375hp Cat diesels, the Yachtfisher cruises at 16 knots. © 2024 PowerBoat Guide
