Boston Boatworks Daychaser 48 2024 "BARTON & GRAY DC48"

All of Daychaser's elegance sits above the highly engineered powertrain, safety equipment, and mechanicals in the engine room. The design brief draws on extensive experience in providing top-tier concierge yachting services for over 17 years, catering to the unique demands on yachts that are not typically found in recreational boats. Barton & Gray Mariners Club have identified areas where typical recreational equipment falls short and have made necessary modifications to ensure optimal yacht performance, creating a yacht that boasts unparalleled reliability. Powered by commercial-grade Cummins diesels and complemented by a generator and electrical system that is suitable for military use, the Daychaser is equipped with robust fire-fighting, weather-avoidance, drainage, and monitoring systems that meet the highest USCG safety standards.

Key Features 

• Bow Lounge: Great views and great fun up front 

• Stern Platform: Ample deck space for lounging, swimming, and gearing up for water sports 

• Pilothouse Bar: Saddle up to the stunning bar in the comfort of the pilothouse 

• Galley Up: All cuisine and beverages are located right on deck...no need to go below 

• Aft Deck: Taking inspiration from the Hinckleys, the aft deck is wrapped in comfortable chaise lounges

Just under 50 feet long and 15 feet wide, Daychaser is just small enough and just big enough. This boat has ample space for socializing in four separate zones - the Bow Lounge for sunning and being seen, the Pilothouse Bar for beverage and cuisine, the Aft Deck's chaise lounges for putting your feet up, and the full-beam stern platform for water-sports and beach access. Below deck, you will find a roomy head with a full shower, a navigation desk, storage, and a daybed for the occasional nap. The Galley is right up in the pilothouse with easy access and built for entertaining. At the Helm, the captain has complete control with all the leading technology and a custom-built Joystick control system.

Doug Gray says it best "Daychaser's DNA is 17 years of yachting. 100's of thousands of hours, 10's or thousands of passengers, sandbars, major metros, engagements, birthdays, retirements, countless regattas, clambakes, snorkels, laughter and funerals. I truly believe no other yacht has been more researched or developed. Design and manufacturing are important and we chose the best to partner with on this project. Daychaser represents our passion, our blood and sweat, and our future."
