inboardtwin-engineflybridge

Introduction
The first model in the M-Line, the M48 is designed to deliver calm, spacious onboard living and efficient multihull performance for extended cruising and coastal exploration. Open to the sea from both interior and exterior areas, the layout prioritizes natural light, fluid circulation and practical comfort for days at sea.

Main characteristics

• The pleasure of effortless cruising — Hulls specially designed by Philippe Briand provide exceptional comfort and stability. Typical cruising speed is in the 8–18 knots range; engine, hull and weight distribution are optimized for fuel efficiency and safe, easy handling in varied sea states.
• Optimized volumes — Surprising internal space for a yacht in this category: exterior saloon spanning approximately six metres, full‑beam forward owner’s cabin with king berth, desk and sofa, plus two guest cabins offering comfortable headroom and sea views.
• Multiple living spaces and experiences — Adaptable living arrangements include an exterior saloon for reception, a cozy forward‑deck saloon for intimate moments, a flybridge for connection with the elements, and a mobile aft swim platform for water activities and diving.
• Appreciation for detail and aesthetic quality — Careful finish and refined design: large windows for natural light, individual showers for each cabin, fully equipped galley and panoramic saloon. Equipment and options are arranged to feel at home aboard.
