Hallberg-Rassy 43 MKI (2006/2007) – Proven Bluewater Cruiser

The Hallberg-Rassy 43 MKI is widely regarded as one of the finest bluewater cruising yachts ever built. Designed by German Frers and built to Hallberg-Rassy's renowned standards, she combines outstanding offshore performance, exceptional build quality, and timeless Scandinavian craftsmanship.

This particular yacht was built in 2006 and launched in 2007.

Below deck, the classic Hallberg-Rassy interior offers a spacious saloon, a well-protected navigation station, a generous seagoing galley, two comfortable cabins and two heads. Comfort on board is further enhanced by Webasto diesel heating throughout the yacht, air conditioning in the aft cabin, a washing machine, and numerous practical features designed for extended cruising and life aboard.

The yacht has received a number of significant upgrades in recent years, including new standing rigging in 2024, complete Dyneema running rigging in 2025, new Raymarine Axiom Pro 2S chartplotter, Quantum 2 Doppler radar, upgraded Victron inverter and battery charger, new service batteries, resealed hatches and portlights, Starlink and Iridium Go communication systems, together with safety equipment meeting ARC offshore rally requirements.
