Description
This Discovery 55 is the ultimate blue water yacht for the discerning sailor seeking adventure without compromising comfort or safety. Designed by Ron Holland, this proven world cruiser is powerful, stable, and ready to take you and your family on the journey of a lifetime. Whether it’s island-hopping through the Pacific or crossing oceans with confidence, this yacht has been meticulously prepared for exactly that.
Built in 2008 and extensively refitted, it’s equipped for effortless cruising. The automated rig and push-button sail handling mean you can manage her easily as a couple, while the deep centre cockpit keeps everyone safe and dry in all conditions. Recent upgrades—new standing and running rigging, lithium battery system, solar array, and Starlink internet—make it self-sufficient for extended voyages and comfortable living off the grid.
The light-filled interior is a practical yet stylish space, perfect for hosting family and friends. The raised saloon offers panoramic views and a welcoming hub, while the fully equipped galley and spacious owner’s cabin provide the comforts of home. With three well-appointed cabins, there’s plenty of room for extended family to join in on the adventure.
This yacht’s serious cruising pedigree is matched by thoughtful details like a high ballast ratio for maximum stability, redundant navigation systems, a powerful Yanmar engine, and a reliable Cummins generator. It has passed ocean safety inspections in the past and is equipped for safe, long-range cruising.
Currently located in New Zealand, this Discovery 55 is ready to start its next chapter. If you’ve been waiting for the right yacht to explore the Pacific, this is your opportunity to turn that dream into reality, just step aboard and set sail.
