Nautilus Yacht Management is proud to present this exceptionally well presented Outbound 46.

Outbound Yachts need no word of introduction. Celebrated by world cruisers and featured consistently on such sites as Practical Sailor (who dedicated one of their Youtube Video to the Outbound 46 - Lady K Sailing),  or Attainable Cruising with a lengthy and wonderful report by John Harries, or Bluewater Sailing Boat Reviews, which you can also read online, plus numerous publications and owner's reviews.

The Outbound 46 has a well-deserved reputation as the gold standard of blue water cruising sailboats. Designed by renowned US naval architect Carl Schumacher, built to the highest standards and continually refined over more than 20 years in production, the Outbound 46 will take you comfortably across any ocean. Her solid GRP hull, encapsulated keel and high righting moment, she is also a nimble, quick but stable boat that is specially designed and built for serious offshore voyagers. 

Yet, when many go-anywhere yachts compromise on deep, cave-like interiors, sluggish pace and more classic lines with closed-in cockpit and steep companionway, the Outbound 46 bring you all the comfort and feeling of a modern yacht, with a wide sugar-scoop transom and open cockpit for easy access, bright and airy interior with large windows, beautifully handcrafted cherry wood interior and top quality stainless steel portholes, this yacht combines the best traditional ship building can offer, while offering a modern sailor what they need to feel comfortable.

Built by Outbound Yachts in Xiamen City, China, next door to the Nordhavn and HH Catamaran factories, amongst others, the Outbound 46 is still in production. So far more than 80 Outbound 46 have been built, with many orders continuing into the future. Hedonism is hull number 18.

All Outbound Yachts are semi-customised and built to order, with each owner working with the factory to refine their yacht around their needs.

For Hedonism's owners, years of research and discussions with Bluewater cruising specialists, this meant designing the interior of their yacht with a view to live on board in comfort and independence in the most remote parts of the world. Storage and intelligent weight distribution were taken into consideration, with every space used for dedicated storage for supplies, personal items, tools, spare parts, sailing and safety equipment. Hedonism is a work of art with few equals around the world for anyone looking for the perfect world explorer.

With over a year lead period to book a new order due to demand backlog, adding another year for build, obtaining a brand new Outbound 46 requires patience. As such, Hedonism presents as a wonderful option. Continually upgraded for the demands of her full time cruising owners, she has been kept in pristine condition down to every detail. For the first 9-10 years of her life, Hedonism was only used in cold fresh water lakes during the short Canadian summer months, and kept in covered, temperature control storage facilities the rest of the time. In 2013, Hedonism was stored the entire year, as the owners prepared to leave their home in Canada and get ready to go sailing full time. Since then, after exploring the inland waterways to New York and onto salt water sailing for the first time in 2015, they have been with Hedonism and given her the most outstanding love and care full time, first sailing into the Caribbean and through Panama into the Pacific, eventually settling in French Polynesia, where the boat was imported, a helpful addition for Hedonism's next owners, who might also want to call French Polynesia home between South Pacific adventures.

Please read on and click on the Additional Descriptions for the detailed inventory and list of recent upgrades. This truly beautiful yacht is continually maintained and improved at no expense spared. Her owners are on board and will welcome you for an inspection or via video call if you wish. 

Nautilus Yacht Management carefully curates all our listings to suit bluewater cruising for the past 15 years, choosing to represent only immaculately presented yachts with the features and qualities needed for offshore voyaging and live-aboard. We have assisted hundreds of cruisers, new or experienced, to discover this magical lifestyle.

A Word from The Owners:

"We have owned our 2005 Outbound 46 “Hedonism”, since new. It was not our first boat, we sailed our Mirage 39 for a number of years on Lake Huron, Canada. That allowed us to gather the knowledge as to what features we might want in a boat for our future “full time” sailing life.

But first, a bit about our background:

While we are both licensed airline pilots, our more important background is that we operated a successful small airline and charter company for a number of years with 14 aircraft. So, while we both fly, we are both experienced in all aspects of operating a fairly complex company including the operation and maintenance of numerous aircraft.  We had 3 separate bases with approved maintenance facilities at each base. Fully, 80% of our business was with various provincial and federal government agencies in Ontario, Canada. Providing safe and dependable service to the government was the cornerstone of our business. In fact, much of our success was a direct result of having the reputation of not only meeting the rules, but exceeding them.  Our pilots, engineers and aircraft maintenance were held to the highest of standards to affect safe and dependable service to the most remote areas of the province. The Government recognized our commitment to that standard and awarded us various multi-year contracts as a result. 

Suffice it to say, we have always applied the same high standards to the operation and maintenance of our Outbound. Much of this involves education, striving for an above average level of proficiency and discipline. We have both attended the Yanmar technical school at Mack Boring. We document what we do, we plan and track the routine maintenance for the main systems for reliability and safety.  And we still have fun.

In 2003, we started looking for our next boat. A boat to cross oceans with comfort and safety in mind. We looked at many; and after traveling across Canada and the USA (both coasts) we managed to narrow our list to 3 or 4 contenders. At the time, the Outbound was relatively new possibility and very intriguing from what we had researched. We decided to visit the Annapolis Boat Show in 2004. This afforded us the ability to really look at several boats from various manufactures up close as well as the Outbound. While many of those boats “looked and showed” very well on the outside, once we looked deeply into the construction of each boat, the craftsmanship was just not the same at it used to be for many builders that we had been interested in and had investigated. 

Then we got on the Outbound. We opened every drawer, dove into the bilge, looked at the obvious differences in the strength of the construction, the serviceability of systems and so on. 

We were impressed that the boat was built with a hands-on blue water cruiser in mind. It definitely wasn’t a charter boat. The ceiling panels were easily removable to access wiring, deck fasteners and so on. There were conduits readily available to run additional cabling or wiring running the full length of the boat. On deck there were 30” high life lines with a 1¼” diameter stainless wrap around Stern Pulpit, 1¼” diameter stainless Bow Pulpit, the stainless grab rails and the craftmanship of the welding was second to none. Each weld was meticulously faired which speaks to the detail of the yacht’s construction. And there were pad eyes; “everywhere”! The same applied to storage areas, they were well thought out and plentiful. After detailed inspection we looked at each other and we both were sure, the Outbound was the boat we wanted. 

But to be certain, we then contacted many of the current Outbound owners to get additional feedback. There was nothing negative from the owners, only praise.  We placed our order about a month later after negotiating a few custom changes for our Outbound in November that year.

As a small side note; I happened to have a good friend from Germany who did a lot of business in China. We were having dinner together a couple of months after placing our order and having been sailing with us previously, he asked about our “new” boat. I told him a bit about it and he asked where is it being built in China?  I advised him it was being built Xiamen.  (He corrected me on the pronunciation of that. In fact, I had to write the name “Xiamen” on a napkin for him to understand me) His answer was simply, “Oh; you mean Xiamen, I will be there next Wednesday.”   Really? Wow.  He was kind enough to drop by the factory in Xiamen to check on the progress of the build. I am not sure what Phil (owner/founder of Outbound Yachts) thought when I advised him that I had a friend dropping by the factory to take a look at the progress of our new Outbound.  I still have his photos of Hedonism in the early build stages.

My wife and I flew to the factory in May 2005 to inspect our new Outbound prior to shipment from the factory. We were very impressed with the builder and staff’s attention to detail. The workers were obviously proud of their work and very happy when they saw that we were happy. We made a quick request to add drop in screens for the companionway entrance. They were fabricated with teak and installed before we arrived the next morning, no extra charge. Our Outbound was shipped to Seattle and then trucked across country to Superior Wisconsin, USA, not far from our home in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. The final commissioning of Hedonism was completed in Superior by Outbound Yachts.

For the next 9 years, we sailed Hedonism in fresh water on Lake Superior and Lake Huron while still operating the company.  I will say that to this day, the north shore of Lake Superior still remains one our favorite cruising areas, albeit a bit chilly. It is totally remote and rugged. We would go weeks without seeing another soul. 

Of course, being on the Great Lakes, the season is short, usually only 4 months. 

So, for the first 9 years, Hedonism was kept in climate controlled indoor storage for the other 8 months of the year. 

Finally, it was time to go cruising full time in 2014.

We departed Lake Superior and traveled east through various locks including the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls and through the New York canal system. 31 locks later, we sailed passed the Statue of Liberty and into the Atlantic.

We continued to the Chesapeake and from there, non-stop to the BVI’s.  We spent 3 years in the Caribbean up and down the island chain numerous times and then crossed from Bonaire to Bocas Del Toro, Panama. We did out transit through the canal in 2018 and then on to the Marquesas, French Polynesia. 

We have continued to sail in French Polynesia ever since, including returning to the Marquesas twice and throughout the Tuamotu and Leeward Islands.  I did not realize just how large French Polynesia was, the same size as mainland Europe! We ended up spending the COVID years here, on Hedonism.

So, the time has come in our lives to move on, hence we have reluctantly decided to sell.  We have been in French Polynesia since April 2018 and decided to stay here a couple of years ago. The French Polynesia Import taxes have been paid so Hedonism can remain in FP indefinitely if a new owner wishes.

If you are looking for a meticulously maintained boat, this is it. No expense has been spared." Bob & Laurie, Papeete, April 2026

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The hull of the Outbound 46 is constructed of 100% hand laid solid fibreglass laminate. Each yacht is individually reinforced with a massive system of stringers, longitudinals, and bulkheads that a bonded directly to the hull while it is still in the mold. Laminates are increased in high stress areas as well as in the bow and bilge for added strength. Bi-axial fiberglass cloth adds to the overall impact resistance. Outer layers of blister resistant vinylester resin and Ashland Maxguard premium grade gelcoat which creates a hull of lasting beauty.

For maximum strength, keel bolts are eliminated and the hull and keel are molded as a single lamination.

After the deck is through bolted and sealed with 3M 5200 polyurethane sealant, the bulkheads are then fiberglassed on their entire perimeter, not just “screwed” in place.  All “furniture” is then bonded to the hull, adding to the structural support system.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Forward Cabin:

• Features a large centreline (island) double forward berth. There is ample storage in the 2 closets as well as the sliding cabinets along each side of the berth. There are also 4 easily accessible drawers at the foot of the berth. The berth itself, folds up to reveal a cavernous storage area. No space has been wasted.
• The owners sail Hedonism as a couple and we did not want or need “2 complete heads with separate showers”. Instead, Outbound modified their forward cabin to include a second head only (a manual Raritan PHII model) that is enclosed in a custom teak cabinet that doubles as a settee. In the rest of that area, Outbound installed a SPLENDIDE washer/drier combination in its own custom teak cabinet. The result is a functional and appeasing addition to the forward cabin. The hidden additional toilet is never used but useful in an emergency if the main toilet is not operational. This toilet is also plumbed to a separate holding tank.
• 6 port windows afford abundant ambient light. 2 Dorade vents provide pleasant and continuous fresh air at anchor regardless of rain or not.
• Webasto Air Handler and the Real Heater controls and outlets are adjacent to the starboard closet
• 2 Hella Turbo fans
• 115 vac power receptacle powered from either shore or the main Xantrex inverter
• 230 vac power receptacle powered by the 500 watt inverter
• 12 VDC receptacle for phone or other charging needs 

Aft Guest Cabin:

• The rear cabin is standard and features sleeping quarters for two.
• It features plenty of storage and a full closet. There are 3 port windows to provide plenty of light. 2 Hella fans keep the cabin well ventilated.
• The rear closet doubles as the “Solar control room”. It houses the 5 solar controllers as well as the associated cabling and junction connections. Additionally, it has its own dedicated silent fan to keep the closet cool. This installation does not effectively reduce the volume of the closet storage.
• “Real Heater” outlets
• 2 Hella Turbo fans

 Salon:

• The main settees can be utilized for additional sleeping areas on both port and starboard sides of the cabin.
• The primary cushions that we utilize were replaced in 2023 with new. High density foam from Sailrite was imported from the USA and we supplied the OEM cover material that we had purchased extra when we ordered the boat. So, the new cushions are an exact match. 2023
• The main dinette is centered on the port side with wrap around seating for up to 6 people.
• The starboard settee provides seating for additional seating for up to 3 individuals.
• Storage space is available everywhere including under and behind each settee as well as under the floor.
• The main Webasto Air Conditioning and main cabin Air Handler controls are located adjacent to the starboard settee while the air outlet is on the port side.
• USB charging location adjacent to the port settee as well as a separate 12 vdc outlet to operate a computer or tablet
• Chart / pull out wine locker
• 115 vac duplex receptacle
• 3 - 230 vac receptacles; 2 powered by the 500 watt inverter

COMFORT:

Environmental

Hedonism was delivered with a Webasto hydronic air conditioning and heating system. The majority of the system was installed at the factory in China while the system was commissioned by Webasto factory technicians during the final commissioning of the vessel in Superior Wisconsin. The system included 2 – 12,500 BTU reverse cycle water chillers plumbed in series, a 90ST Webasto diesel fired heater, 2 Webasto Air Handlers as well as associated plumbing, controllers, etc. The system was plumbed to also heat the domestic hot water tank (Isotherm) and included a manual “summer valve” that allowed the 90ST to heat the hot water “only”, when environment heat was not required. (At the time, the owners  sailed on Lake Superior where the water temperature could be anywhere between 5 and 15C) The system works extremely well.

The manual summer valve was upgraded to a 12 VDC powered valve in 2023 for operational convenience.

After the first year of sailing in the cold environment of Lake Superior, the owners elected to modify the system. They added 3 – 12 VDC “Real Heaters”, a Webasto 12 VDC circulation pump and plumbed a 20,000 BTU engine heat exchanger into the system to take advantage of the engine heat while motoring. The Real Heaters were plumbed with bypass valves as they should be isolated when running the Air Conditioning in Chiller mode to prevent condensation.

In December 2024, they removed the 2 – 12,500 BTU chillers and installed a NEW single Webasto 20,000 BTU reverse cycle water chiller with a Soft Start module in their place. The system Iwaki circulation pump was replaced with NEW at the same time. Upgrade: $10,000 USD

Watermaker:

The owners found that the original DC powered Little Wonder Watermaker was insufficient for their needs so in 2021, they installed a 30 gph Watermaker utilizing much of the existing plumbing. Its primary parts are a 12 vdc LP feed pump, a 115 vac General Motor, a EWM1615C High Pressure pump and 2 DOW Filmtec SW30-2540 membranes.  They chose these membranes as they are available almost everywhere and are a fraction of the price that “special sized” membranes such as the old Little Wonder required.

They write: "We wanted to keep the installation “simple” so we elected not to install electronic control devices such as “auto flush”. The Watermaker is easy to use, easy to service without the need to hire a “Watermaker specialist”.

The Watermaker is also sized  to be operated using the 2000-watt inverter and battery bank

The top (downstream) membrane was changed in March, 2026.

Entertainment Systems:

An Alpine stereo is installed with both indoor and outdoor Bose speakers.  A Kenwood 100-watt amplifier is installed for the rear (outside) speakers.

An MBT-RX Bluetooth receiver has been added to the system so music can be played from various devices such a laptop or phone.

Installed TV is a 230 vac, 43” Sharp. It was new in 2020 and installed during COVID. While the TV is functional, it will require replacement soon by the new owner as the bottom 2” of the screen is no longer working.

The TV is mounted on a Heavy Duty Commercially rated mount and is totally secure. The mount fits any standard form of TV available today so installing a new TV of your choice should be straight forward.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE:

Most on-board maintenance is completed by the meticulous owners. Occasionally, things such as sewing and metal fabrication is done by contractors under our direct supervision. The owners write: "NO ONE works on the boat unless we are present."

The owners keep a log of routine maintenance. Items coming due, completed and in-progress. They write: "We have found that “fresh water” is our friend. When we arrive at an anchorage, we fresh water flush pretty much the entire deck and stainless. 

As mentioned in the beginning, we truly believe in “preventative maintenance”. Not only does it help to prevent failures of equipment it lowers operating costs while increasing reliability."

Haul Out - 2025:

Hedonism was last hauled in October 2025 at CNI in Raiatea, French Polynesia. The following work was accomplished.

·         Boat was hauled, pressure washed and moved to the hard stand.

·       Hull was lightly sanded. The existing paint was in very good condition with NO hard growth. That paint was Trinidad Petit Pro with Ingarol biocide. That product is no longer available so the owners had the new Petit Trinidad XRS shipped in from the USA. XRS is a Hard Triple Biocide that is supposed to be the new “standard”. It appears good thus far, no hard growth at all. Note that the owners have TWO extra gallons on board ($$$) and they are “turned over” ever 30 days.  2 coats were applied with a third coat along the waterline and rudder.  As with all Trinidad paint with a lot of copper, the paint was continually mixed throughout the application process

·       The Max Prop was removed, stripped of the old Prop Speed, cleaned, greased and re-installed. A new anode on the prop was installed.

·       The Max Prop, shaft, strut and scoop strainers for the Watermaker and engine intakes were stripped, cleaned, etched and clear coated with the Prop Speed.

·       All through hulls were inspected, worked and lubricated

·       The blue water stripe was cleaned and prepared for the installation of a new Vinyl stripe around the vessel by a professionals.

·       The vessel name and port location signs were removed and replaced with new.

·       The entire top sides from the blue stripe to the toe rails were cleaned and lightly buffed and then polished with Starbright marine polish with PTEF, a product that the owners have used for over 15 years and swear by.

·       Small Gelcoat repairs were completed as required

·       All anodes were replaced with new

·       The Cutlass bearing was replaced as a matter of convenience
