1981 Morgan 462, USD 49,500

The Morgan 462, designed by Henry Scheel, is a proven bluewater cruiser valued for her solid construction, generous storage, and comfortable accommodations. This 1981 model features the sought-after two-cabin, two-head layout with a spacious aft stateroom including an athwartship berth and ensuite head with bathtub and shower. A walk-through passage connects the aft cabin to the salon, with a workshop and excellent engine room access along the way.

Longevity, a 1981 Morgan 462, has been exceptionally well maintained throughout her life and can be easily commissioned back into service as an active cruiser. The Morgan 462 is renowned as one of the strongest fiberglass sailing monohulls ever built. If you were to take a core sample from her hull, you’d find nearly two inches of solid fiberglass—no cheap core material, just pure strength. These boats were built to handle anything the ocean can deliver. Run aground, and you’ll likely worry more about the reef than the hull.

Her keel-stepped mast adds even more security and confidence at sea, making her a true bluewater voyager. Powering the vessel is a Perkins 4-154 diesel, a legendary engine celebrated for its reliability and endurance. Many of these engines are still running strong after more than four decades, and Longevity’s is no exception.

Currently located at Nanny Cay Boatyard, Longevity is in the care of a full-time yacht caretaker. A dehumidifier runs continuously aboard, keeping her interior fresh and dry.

The center cockpit provides an excellent sense of safety and protection offshore, while the two companionways—one to the aft cabin and one to the main salon—offer a comfortable and private layout, ideal for sailing with family or friends.

Built for serious passage making, Longevity is the kind of vessel that can take you across oceans, through rough open waters, and anywhere in the world. She’s a proven, solidly constructed bluewater cruiser—perfect for those dreaming of circumnavigation or simply a safe, dependable home on the sea.

This is truly a go-anywhere boat, ready for her next adventure.
