The Helmsman Trawlers 46 Pilothouse, designed by renowned naval architect Ivan Erdevicki is fully loaded for superior seagoing performance. This robust vessel boasts sturdy construction, reliable systems, and high-quality materials that ensure durability and efficiency.
Built for long-range cruising, the 46 Pilothouse features a wide-beam design that provides an impressive interior with abundant natural light. The salon rivals larger yachts, and the spacious master stateroom comes with an ensuite head and separate shower.
A variety of guest accommodations are available, while the U-shaped galley offers ample storage, refrigerator and freezer space, and generous countertop areas. The pilothouse provides excellent visibility and seating for six, while maintaining an open connection with the salon for ease of movement. The flybridge is easily accessed via stairs, and the foredeck includes integral storage lockers and cushioned seating. The large cockpit is fully covered, offering protection from rain and sun.
Powered by a single Cummins engine with a full keel and protected running gear, the 46 Pilothouse exemplifies Helmsman Trawlers’ commitment to simplicity, reliability, and long-lasting beauty, all while providing an affordable and superbly crafted option for serious cruisers.
