Well Equipped and Maintained for Bluewater Cruising
DESCRIPTION
The BAD CAPTAIN, designed by the renowned German Frers and built in the Queen Long Shipyard, features a generous beam carried well aft, providing excellent stability and more interior volume than comparable yachts. Safety features include a Center Cockpit, Waterproof Bulkheads forward and aft, and a hull constructed with Twaron, a heat-resistant, high-performance para-aramid fiber offering ballistic and cut protection.

Below decks, the BAD CAPTAIN is a testament to luxury, boasting a stunning teak interior with a high-gloss finish. It offers two staterooms with ensuite heads, including an aft cabin with a centerline queen-sized berth. The yacht is cutter-rigged with a generous mainsail, 135% genoa, and staysail. Recent upgrades include a new sail pack, bimini, dodger, connecting panels and enclosures, a rigid bimini frame made from 1-1/2" stainless steel tubing, Predictwind’s Data Hub, an Iridium Go Exec with Remote Antenna, and a Starlink high-performance dish, mounted aft. (If you haven’t enjoyed cruising with Starlink, you are in for an absolute treat.)
The H46 hull, designed by Frers, features a fine modern entry and a wide beam that carries well aft, allowing the yacht to surf above hull speed and providing a spacious aft master cabin. The wide sugar-scoop stern offers excellent deck storage for dive gear and easy water access for swimming and boarding the dinghy. The BAD CAPTAIN has a deep lead fin keel with a 6’ 3” draft and a well-balanced deep spade rudder supported by a partial skeg, creating a fun, sporty feel under sail. The BAD CAPTAIN is one of the fastest 46s ever produced.
