The Cherubini 48 stands as the flagship of the Cherubini Yachts sailing fleet, representing a sophisticated evolution of the acclaimed Cherubini 44. Designed by John E. Cherubini and built in Delran, New Jersey, this vessel is a testament to the "modern classic" movement, blending the aesthetic grace of the early 20th-century yachts—most notably the designs of L. Francis Herreshoff—with contemporary fiberglass construction. As a semi-custom build, the 48 is rare, often serving as the pinnacle for sailors who prioritize artisanal joinerwork and offshore stability over the high-volume interiors of mass-produced Mediterranean cruisers. The yacht is characterized by its exceptionally long overhangs, a low-profile cabin trunk, and a distinctive hull shape that utilizes a Scheel keel to provide a shallow draft without sacrificing upwind performance.
