Discovery 480: Model Info

In 2017, Discovery Yachts became the new owner of the brand and delighted long distance sailing enthusiasts with the return to the market of Southerly yachts. The Southerly 480 was presented in Düsseldorf in 2018.

Interior and exterior

The Southerly 480 is an upgrade of the Southerly 47 (2012) designed by Stephen Jones, designer of the yard. Under the wing of the Discovery, the Southerly 480 received modern circular glazing for the Deck Salon, two rudder pens, high boards, a frame in the cockpit for a giacco and a bathing platform (optional).

The internal layout has not changed, but the transfer of production has improved the quality of finishing materials (especially wood).

Amenities on board
