The Southern Flite, a 1990 Offshore 48 Yachtfish, presents a traditional aft cabin cockpit motor yacht design with a trawler-esque aesthetic and adaptable interior. Featuring a two-stateroom configuration, it includes a spacious salon, a galley down, a master stateroom aft and a forward full berth, each with separate head and shower. Its expansive aft deck complements a cockpit suited for fishing, boarding, and swimming. Under its fourth owner for the past eight years, the yacht has been used for cruising, anchoring, and exploring the many beautiful islands in the Bahamas, demonstrating comfortable, economical, and manageable performance with walk-around decks and a flybridge.
The SOUTHERN FLITE is a well-maintained, two-stateroom yacht ideally suited for cruising local waters and the Bahamas. The current owners have used it for four months annually over the past eight years, both cruising and anchoring. Its design, featuring walk-around side decks and a user-friendly cockpit, allows for ease of handling and docking. Located in Stuart, this vessel is priced to sell quickly and is ready for immediate voyages.

Walkthrough

Southern Flite can be boarded from either the port or starboard side or from the cockpit, which offers easy access via the swim platform. Up a few steps from the cockpit is the aft deck and continuing up a few more steps, the fly bridge is reached. 

The large, comfortable salon is accessed a few steps down from the aft deck. Forward and down a few steps is the galley; full forward is the guest stateroom with private head. From the salon, a staircase leads down to the master stateroom, all the way aft, fitted with full walk-around berth and private head/shower. Teak and Holly flooring thru-out the yacht salon, master SR, Galley, and forward stateroom.
