Moody 45DS - Amici

Price Further Reduced: Now AUD $468,000

Amici, a 2008 Moody 45 Deck Saloon, is listed exclusively with YOTI, and now with a significant further price reduction she represents the best value Moody 45 in Australia.

When Hanse Yachts acquired Moody in 2007, they elevated the brand to new levels of modernity and innovation. The Moody 45DS embodies this evolution with its hallmark single-level living, making it one of the most comfortable and functional sailing yachts on the market. Designed for effortless handling, enjoyable performance, and extensive cruising capability, Amici is the epitome of practical luxury.

Since her launch, Amici has been thoughtfully upgraded to meet the demands of modern cruising. Major improvements include:

  • Rainman water maker and stainless-steel dinghy davits (2015)
  • Generator, solar panels, chart plotter, and headsails (2015)
  • Stern thruster installation (2017)
  • Replacement of most seacocks (2017)
  • All new standing rigging (2018)
  • New saloon upholstery (2020)
  • New retractable and helm biminis (2020)

The Moody 45DS is celebrated for its seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Her single-level saloon and cockpit design create an open, spacious feel, while large wrap-around windows provide spectacular, protected views. The forward owner’s cabin features a centre line skylight, opening hatches, a writing desk, and private ensuite with a separate shower stall. Two additional double guest cabins and a second head/shower ensure comfort for family and friends.

The deck layout is equally impressive, with all lines leading aft to electric winches at the twin helms for ease of handling. A spacious, protected cockpit with a folding table and easy dock access via the drop-down transom adds to the practicality. Teak side decks with full-length bulwarks and continuous stainless-steel handrails offer safety and style, while the retractable anchor arm and hidden furler preserve her sleek lines.

Amici offers outstanding value for a blue-water cruising yacht. She is currently available for inspection on Pittwater. Contact Peter Mactier for more details
