1995 Tayana 48 | SOLI DEO GLORIA - $100K in Upgrades, Bob Perry Bluewater Cruiser

Step aboard SOLI DEO GLORIA, a 1995 Tayana 48 center-cockpit cutter designed by legendary naval architect Robert Perry and based at Swan Creek Marina in Rock Hall, Maryland. The Tayana 48 is widely regarded as one of Bob Perry's most successful offshore cruising yachts, prized for her sea-kindly motion, true bluewater capability, and the comfort expected in a world-class liveaboard cruiser. SOLI DEO GLORIA has benefited from approximately $100,000 in recent upgrades, headlined by new standing rigging and chainplates completed in 2019 — one of the most significant investments any offshore sailor looks for. Her electrical system was modernized in 2025 with new Trojan house and start batteries, and a new 12V refrigerator/freezer was added in 2024, keeping her systems current for extended cruising or full-time liveaboard life. Below, rich teak joinery and generous headroom run throughout her three-cabin, two-head layout, one of the most sought-after configurations in the Tayana 48 fleet. The aft owner's stateroom is a private retreat with a centerline queen berth and ensuite head, while a dedicated navigation station and dining area anchor the main saloon. Two further cabins forward share a second head, ideal for guests, crew, or extra stowage on long passages. On deck, her fin keel and skeg-hung rudder pair with an electric in-mast furling mainsail and 110% genoa for confident, short-handed sailing, while a custom stern arch with davits and solar mounts, an 82 lb Mantus anchor, and a fully integrated Garmin electronics suite round out her offshore-ready equipment. For a buyer seeking a proven bluewater design with her major systems already addressed, SOLI DEO GLORIA is ready for coastal cruising, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or offshore passagemaking.
