Duchy 45

About

We are excited to introduce the latest addition to the Duchy line of motor yachts – the Duchy 45. Designed by esteemed British naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme, the Duchy 45 is a modern take on the traditional Downeast yacht which features a stylish wheelhouse, handsome shearline, tumblehome aft, a hard chine hull, and deep bow sections forward to safely and comfortably handle the most challenging conditions while maintaining excellent seakeeping capabilities. Both IPS and shaft drive options are available with a projected top speed of 32 knots.
The Duchy 45 provides an expansive saloon and cockpit with ample room for more than twelve day guests, and with two luxurious double ensuite cabins, she is set up for extended cruising in comfort. Also, there is the option to move the galley up to provide an additional third cabin for family, friends or crew.

Several Duchy 45’s have been sold to date with the first due to launch later 2025.

Highlights include:

  • Side and stern cockpit doors for easy boarding and safe access to the side decks and bow with multiple handrails, bow rail and bulwark design.
  • Exceptionally long cockpit with U settee, opening into a spacious expandable main saloon with folding doors that completely open to create a large, single-level entertainment space.
  • Panoramic main saloon with full height windows all around, U settee with dining table, additional settee to starboard, and double helm seat.
  • Full height helm door for quick, easy access forward while docking and mooring.
  • Fully equipped galley with refrigeration, stove and microwave.
  • Multiple options available with the interior layout.
  • Exceptional joinery work above and below decks finished to a high standard with choice of hardwood.
