Captain's Notes

Step aboard and you immediately notice how quiet and civilized this boat feels under way. The hydraulic transmission and Max Prop team up for smooth, low‑vibration motoring, and the walk‑in engine room means real-world access for offshore troubleshooting or simple oil checks without contortions. The hydronic diesel heat is a game changer on cold, damp passages, keeping cabins evenly warm instead of just blowing hot air in one spot. Thoughtful storage runs everywhere—deep lockers along the passageway aft, intelligently laid-out galley spaces, and room to stow serious cruising spares. On deck, the wide side decks and secure lifelines make reefing or working forward in a seaway feel controlled rather than acrobatic, while the Flexiteek underfoot adds grip and comfort on long watches.

Why 48 in Washington

The Celestial 48’s blend of volume, range, and systems makes it particularly well suited to this cruising ground. Long waterline and a powerful rig deliver solid passagemaking speeds between far‑flung anchorages, while the generous tankage and watermaker let you stay out where the charts turn green and soundings disappear. The enclosed aft cabin with a true king berth provides a proper off‑watch refuge in any season, and multiple heating options tame chilly nights or shoulder‑season fronts. With robust ground tackle, serious windlass, and practical davits for the tender, this platform is ideal for exploring remote coves, crossing open stretches in comfort, and then living aboard full time without feeling constrained by space or capability.
