The Kanter 54 Passagemaker was designed to be a highly reliable offshore voyaging yacht with an unusually long range for a yacht of her type. Her configuration features the highly popular raised pilothouse forward behind a Portuguese bridge. Like all Kanter yachts, the Passage Maker 54 is built of massive-strength welded metal for the ultimate in leak-proof integrity and brute strength. The tanks are integral, adding their strength to that of the vessel and effectively creating double-bottom construction and safety. Her efficient, low-drag hull form and large fuel and water tanks enable the Passage Maker 54 to make trips of up to 4,500 miles before refuelling. The stern shape was designed to reduce the tendency to roll, making the Kanter 54 exceptionally comfortable while improving her fuel-efficiency and range. Designed by renowned naval architect Chuck Paine, the Passage Maker 54 boasts full headroom accommodations beneath the pilothouse and extending forward into the bow. The voluminous forward cabin has en suite access to its totally private head, while the aft two cabins share a head. The forward bed is queen-sized and may be accessed from either side. The main salon has large windows on three walls for wonderful views and ample natural lighting, giving the Passage Maker 54 a feeling of spaciousness. The pilothouse is far larger than one normally encounters and even boasts a full-length “watch stander’s bench”, which is convertible to a berth. The deck and sheltered Portuguese bridge may be easily accessed through doors both port and starboard.
