Overview

TRAVERSE is one of only six Gunboat 48's produced. Rarely, do these unicorn's come to market.TRAVERSE is the only 48' able to vaunt the large center Salon entry door. This feature offers outstanding flow through the boat both ergonomically and in terms of augmenting ventilation throughout. Another ancillary benefit being a superior "island galley" layout and far more functional Main salon. The 48' design brief was for short handed sailing. She is truly the only Gunboat designed with a cruising couple or family in mind. TRAVERSE is by far the most highly appointed 48' afloat.Her current owner, a notable Yachtsman, took a different approach when setting out to refit Traverse. The refit brief was for a "sabbatical cruiser" allowing exquisite comfort for extended periods living aboard. She is a race ready world cruiser  capable of 300 mile days in extreme comfort. As Toby Hodges stated in his review of Gazelle, a Gunboat 66, she is " a Winnebago that transforms into a supercar". TRAVERSE is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, FL available for immediate showings. See the below list of work performed during the 2023/2024 refit below;
