THE VESSEL
This 1987 CHB 46 Motor Yacht is one of the most respected and capable cruising and liveaboard motor yachts available in its class. Built by Chien Hwa Boat Building Co. of Taiwan during the golden era of quality Taiwanese yacht construction, the CHB 46 has earned a loyal following among serious cruisers and liveaboards for its exceptional build quality, spacious and liveable interior, and proven long-range passagemaking capability. With low-hour twin Perkins diesels, a Northern Lights generator, and a thoughtfully equipped interior ready as a full-time liveaboard, this vessel represents an outstanding opportunity at this price point.

DESIGNER & BUILDER HERITAGE
CHB — Chien Hwa Boat Building Co. — was established in Taiwan during the 1960s and became one of the most respected production yacht builders to emerge from the celebrated Taiwanese boatbuilding industry. During the 1970s and 1980s, Taiwan produced some of the finest fiberglass cruising yachts ever built, and CHB was consistently among the best. CHB motor yachts were designed with serious cruisers in mind, built for long-range passagemaking, comfortable extended liveaboard use, and the structural durability that keeps these vessels in active service decades after leaving the yard. The CHB 46 became a benchmark vessel in its class, praised by owners and surveyors alike for its heavy construction, generous layout, and practical intelligence of design.

BUILD QUALITY & CONSTRUCTION
CHB built the 46 Motor Yacht using heavy hand-laid fiberglass construction — thick, solid, and built to offshore standards. The full-displacement hull delivers excellent sea-keeping characteristics, a stable and comfortable motion offshore, and structural integrity that survives decades of serious use. The deep, heavy keel provides exceptional directional stability and a confidence-inspiring ride in open water. The interior joinery reflects the high standard of craftsmanship that defined Taiwanese yacht building at its peak, rich, warm wood throughout, fitted and finished to a standard not found in comparable modern production boats. Storage throughout is smartly and practically designed, reflecting the thinking of a builder who understood how people actually live aboard for extended periods.

LAYOUT & LIVING SPACES
Step aboard through the large starboard sliding door and you enter a world of genuine cruising comfort. The CHB 46 was designed from the outset as a serious liveaboard and long-range cruiser, and every detail of the interior reflects that purpose.

Salon
The main salon is a large, open, and welcoming living space with windows all around — bright, airy, and comfortable in all conditions. The lower helm station is integrated into the salon, keeping the captain connected to both the navigation equipment and the social heart of the boat. Two large, luxury movie-theater-style reclining couches define the salon seating — oversized, comfortable, and perfectly suited to long passages and relaxed evenings at anchor. This is a salon designed for real living, not just occasional weekend use.

Galley
Just forward of the salon is a fully equipped galley with everything needed to prepare any meal aboard. A port-side U-shaped settee provides a comfortable and casual dining area directly adjacent to the galley, ideal for everyday meals underway or relaxed dining at anchor. The galley is fitted with a large refrigerator, large sink, oven and stovetop, microwave, and large countertops with ample storage and drawers throughout.

Forward V-Berth Cabin
Forward of the galley is a large and private V-berth cabin featuring full sleeping accommodation, head and shower, and generous storage space.

Aft Master Cabin
Walking aft from the salon brings you to the expansive full-beam master cabin, generously proportioned and privately located at the stern, featuring a large bed, full head and shower, and newer large washer and dryer units for full laundry capability aboard.

Aft Enclosed Upper Room
Above the aft master cabin and accessed from the salon stairway is a large enclosed aft room, one of the most distinctive and enjoyable spaces on the vessel. With expansive windows all around, comfortable seating, and a bar area, this space is perfect as a second lounge, an entertainment room, or a quiet retreat with a view.

Aft Cockpit & Dinghy
From the aft upper room, a ladder leads down to a large open aft cockpit, a practical, spacious, and comfortable outdoor living area fitted with an Achilles dinghy with Yamaha 4 HP outboard mounted to a stainless steel davit system for easy dinghy launching and retrieval.

HELM & NAVIGATION
The lower salon helm station is the primary command center, well-positioned for comfortable long-watch operation with excellent visibility through the large salon windows. Electronics include a Simrad Halo 20 Plus radar (newer, upper helm station), chartplotter, Robertson AP 100 DL autopilot, Cobra Marine VHF radio, and depth sounder.

MECHANICAL & CONDITION
Power is provided by twin Perkins 225 HP diesel engines, among the most trusted and proven marine diesels ever built. Perkins engines are legendary in the marine world for their mechanical simplicity, durability, and ease of maintenance. Both engines start instantly. The Nortkhern Lights generator is equally well maintained and starts without hesitation.
