The Cheoy Lee 47 is one of the most respected bluewater cruising yachts ever to emerge from the renowned Hong Kong yard — a builder with a pedigree stretching back over a century. This 1985 example measures an impressive 14.32 metres on deck with a beam of 4.2 metres, offering generous volume and stability for extended offshore passages. A 2-metre draft delivers meaningful windward performance and confident handling in open ocean conditions.
Below decks, the two-cabin layout provides comfortable, well-separated accommodation — ideal for a cruising couple or small crew tackling serious passages across the Pacific and beyond. Cheoy Lee's construction quality from this era is legendary, combining robust glasswork with meticulous interior joinery that has stood the test of time. Currently located in the spectacular Bay of Islands — one of New Zealand's premier cruising grounds — this yacht is perfectly positioned for immediate offshore adventure.
Whether you're planning a Pacific crossing, island hopping through Fiji, or simply exploring New Zealand's magnificent northern coastline, this Cheoy Lee 47 represents exceptional value and proven ocean capability. Offered at NZD $235,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine bluewater classic with an enduring reputation.
