2004 Mainship 430 Aft Cabin

Step aboard and you’ll notice how easy this 430 is to live with day to day. Wide, secure side decks and well-placed handholds make line handling and lock-throughs far less stressful, even for a short-handed crew. Inside, the galley-down layout keeps cooking out of the traffic flow, while big salon windows and opening ports keep everything bright and ventilated. The aft cabin’s real stairway, rather than a ladder, makes midnight trips topside safer, and the molded swim platform is ideal for a tender, dogs, or a quick dip. Thoughtful storage throughout means long stretches away from the dock without feeling cluttered.

For warm, shallow-water cruising grounds, this Mainship 430 Aft Cabin hits a sweet spot. The efficient hull and moderate draft open up quieter anchorages that deeper boats pass by, while still giving you the range for extended passages between marinas. The covered sundeck and fully enclosed flybridge turn intense sun into usable living space, catching the breeze while keeping you shaded and dry during afternoon squalls. Airy cabins with cross-ventilation and generous tankage make weeks aboard comfortable, not cramped. Whether you’re hopping between waterfront towns or settling into a quiet mangrove-lined cove, this model delivers economical, relaxed cruising with all the comforts of home.
