Diesel Duck 46-2

Base Price: $599,000

Not just designed for the open water, but better.

A made-for-the-sea boat by people who know the sea, the DD-462 emphasizes safety, stability and comfort, while offering exceptional living space for a mid-sized ocean passagemaker.

Exceptional thought went into the interior which includes a separate galley, dining and other areas offering livability and elbowroom — comfortable enough for approximately four people.

Proudly, the Seahorse Marine Diesel Duck 46-2 won the “People’s Choice” award and the 2007 Mystic Trawlerfest.

Seaworthy, able to navigate difficult seas, this hardy boat provides the kind of security you just might be looking for as you take to the blue seas for your motorsailing occasion of pleasure and adventure. With her trademark pilothouse, steel hull and 51′ LOA profile, she displays a 48′ waterline for superb tracking and higher displacement speeds.

Add the IVECO 125 horsepower, 6 cylinder marine diesel, and you can count on dependable power to spare, as well as the additional Seahorse Marine advantage of a power-assist sail.
