Cockwells Hardy 50DS
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-800hp engines, this Cockwells Hardy 50DS offers assured offshore performance, with her RCD Category A certification and impressive 900-nautical-mile range at 7.5 knots making the boat ideally suited to extended cruising and ambitious passages.
Mackerel Sky presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive long-range motor yacht, combining Hardy’s renowned seaworthiness, dependability and all-weather capability with the contemporary styling, craftsmanship and refined luxury for which Cockwells is celebrated.
Lovingly maintained by her sole owner and serviced annually by Cockwells, she offers an exceptional combination of provenance, condition and considered specification.
Her thoughtfully appointed accommodation provides comfortable and versatile living for family and guests, while the distinctive deck saloon creates a seamless connection between the interior and cockpit for relaxed entertaining.
Designed for confident, independent cruising, she benefits from an impressive suite of navigation and manoeuvring systems, complemented by stabilisation and onboard amenities that enhance comfort at sea and at anchor.
A well-considered exterior layout, flybridge entertaining space and PrestoMarine tender lift add further versatility, with the Highfield Classic 3.4m tender equipped with a Yamaha 25hp outboard available by separate negotiation.
A landmark in the evolution of the Hardy marque under Cockwells, Mackerel Sky is a compelling proposition for discerning buyers seeking an individual, beautifully maintained yacht with genuine offshore capability and understated luxury.
Offering similar quality and seakeeping to a Fleming 55, Elling E4 or Boarncruiser 50 Traveller, this is an offering worth due consideration for anyone in the market for a quality expedition-style yacht.
