Azuree 46 Sailboats for Sale

Layouts on the Used Market

The familiar used Azuree 46 carries three double cabins and two heads, with a large master suite forward and twin aft quarter cabins. The aft cabins sacrifice some berth width to outboard cabinetry, so a buyer who plans to live aboard should measure those berths in person. The saloon dinette seats four comfortably and unfolds to seat six, then drops to a berth for two extra guests, while the starboard nav desk can be specified to lower into a full sea berth with infill cushions. A large garage under the cockpit sole hatch adds stowage, and the cockpit seats extend to make a berth for warm-weather lounging. Ex-charter boats will often show higher interior wear, so check the synthetic Alpi floor panels and oak veneers for scratching and the teak cockpit trim for weathering.

Equipment and Common Upgrades

Most used 46s will commonly carry a swim platform via the lowering transom, an inverter, bimini, teak decks, autopilot, air conditioning, bow thruster, and chartplotter. For buyer consequence, the bow thruster and the 55-horsepower Volvo Penta saildrive with Flexofold propeller matter most for close-quarters handling and propulsion, and the air conditioning plus inverter define live-aboard comfort. Often-seen upgrades include heating, electric winches, hot water, cockpit shower, and life raft; the electric Harken winches seen on some boats make sail handling a fingertip affair and are worth confirming as factory or owner fit. Less commonly, a buyer may find a code zero, gennaker, or asymmetric spinnaker as an owner upgrade for light-air passage work, and a freezer as a occasional addition.

What to Inspect

Confirm the oversized and securely backed keel bolts are undisturbed and the infused hull and deck laminates show no delamination, and check that the intelligently laid out electrical panel is intact and unmodified. The 46 is built with a dedicated assembly grid mounting interior furniture independently of the hull to reduce stress from twisting, so inspect interior joinery for separation or stress cracks at bulkhead joints. With a deep bulb on the high-aspect fin keel and a saildrive, examine the keel-to-hull connection and the saildrive seal for service history.

Availability and Buyer's Takeaway

These boats typically appear in Turkey, Italy, and the United Kingdom. For a buyer, the checklist is straightforward: confirm the three-cabin layout and berth widths suit your plans, verify the keel bolts and laminate integrity, confirm the Volvo Penta saildrive and bow thruster function, and check whether the common cruising equipment—inverter, autopilot, air conditioning, teak decks—is present and serviced. A well-kept example offers a rare mix of handicap-rated performance and genuine cruising comfort.
