The Perry 44.5 Luxury Motor Yacht

The Perry 44.5 luxury motor yacht is leading the evolution towards new standards of comfort and performance in the world of mid-range luxury motor yachts. The design is influenced by the things that matter to you and your family - comfort, quality, spaciousness, fuel efficiency, performance, manoeuvrability, seaworthiness, construction, and resale value.

The fact is that on deck, indoors or underway the 44.5 is considered by many experts to be superior to any other similarly categorised monohull of the same length. Not surprisingly, the excellent attributes of the Perry 44.5 were well recognised at the 2005 Australian Marine Industry Federation awards.

Lifestyle is what this motor yacht delivers. It really is your superbly comfortable holiday home with no fixed address. Laze on sun lounges on the expansive foredeck, dine in style in the cockpit, or have up to 10 guests join you in comfort on the flybridge where you can absorb 360 degree views. And there's little to compare with enjoying cocktails on deck at sunset while a canopy of 1000 stars forms overhead.

Step indoors and you enter another world. You cannot help but be impressed by the richly grained and heavily lacquered South American myrtle timbers and the Alcantara soft furnishings that complement them. The traditional skills of Perry craftsmen are evident everywhere, never more so than when you open then close a cupboard. You will hear the 'clunk' associated with solid timber, and not a lightweight 'click'.

Every desire of owners and guests has been contemplated and presented in impressive fashion. The optimum balance between cabin size and living areas has also been carefully considered, as have the lavish appointments throughout. There is easy access to the dock or your dinghy via the aft stairs on each side and the side decks are sufficiently wide to provide simple and safe access to the foredeck, even offshore.

It's when you move to the flybridge, take control and get underway that the hidden benefits of a Perry come to the fore. Firstly it's the manoeuvrability that impresses. Fingertip control is all that is needed to move out of, or into, a dock. With an engine in each hull they are set wide apart; you can spin the Perry 44.5 positively and smoothly in its own length.

When you ease the throttles forward the Perry moves up to an efficient cruising speed of around 16 knots with a seemingly effortless motion. The hulls glide through the water leaving a flat wake that resembles vapour trails from a jet aircraft. Top speed is in excess of 20 knots.

While these features would be sufficient to put the Perry 44.5 in a class of its own there is another very important element to consider. It's fuel economy. The latest version of the design has the amazing ability to cover the 760 nautical miles from the Gold Coast to Sydney and return at a comfortable average speed of 16 knots WITHOUT REFUELLING!
