2026 Custom Barton & Gray Daychaser 48

The 48-foot Barton & Gray Daychaser is an express cruiser built on composite construction and powered by twin Cummins diesel engines producing 1,100 horsepower, capable of 38 knots. The design reflects expertise in professional yacht operations, incorporating commercial-grade components and systems engineered beyond typical recreational standards. Fire-fighting, weather monitoring, drainage, and electrical systems meet USCG requirements, while the generator and electrical plant are rated to military specifications. Joystick control is standard.

The layout centers on outdoor entertaining. A bow lounge provides forward viewing, while the stern platform offers expansive space for lounging and water activities. The pilothouse features an integrated bar, and galley facilities are positioned on deck for easy access. The aft deck, styled after classic design principles, includes comfortable chaise lounges.

The single cabin accommodates overnight stays, with one head for guest use. The boat prioritizes open-air living and daytime comfort over cabin space, designed for those who spend their time on deck and at the helm rather than below.
