2000 Wendon 480 Pilothouse

Wendon Yachts are known for their stunning designs, layouts, equipment, interior décor and styling with creature comforts beyond compare.  Located in Sidney BC, Canada, this custom and production builder of quality yachts focuses on providing a fast, economical, stable and luxurious motor yacht. 

The Wendon 480 is based on the highly successful Tollycraft designed hull, therefore offering luxury, ease of handling, and performance that must be experienced to be appreciated.  Reliable propulsion and control systems matched to a solidly built and proven hull ensures that this is a seaworthy vessel with exceptional performance.

The master helm resides in the raised Pilothouse and features full instrumentation, controls and displays. Ample room is provided for charts and other reference material. Next to the Pilothouse table and settee a sturdy ladder/staircase rises to the Command Bridge - with a wrap-around sectional sofa to comfortably seat seven guests. 

The bright open salon is finished in-house in beautifully detailed, cherry wood décor, joinery and cabinetry and is much what you would expect in mega-yacht styling, airy and spacious. The tinted windows let in plenty of light while also preserving privacy.  A spacious aft deck is accessed by a large sliding glass door from the main salon and leads to the swim deck boarding platform at dock level. 

The breathtaking Galley is forward on the same level, but partially separated from the salon by a cherry panelled island and overhead china cabinet. The gourmet galley is fitted with a 7 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer, electric 3 burner ceramic range top, a full size convection/microwave oven and Corian solid surface counter tops and sink. Drawer and cabinet storage is abundant, and the quality is hard to compare. The cook can work efficiently and still be a part of the social scene. 

The lower accommodations level is accessed via a delightful spiral staircase starboard of the main helm. At the foot of the staircase the VIP Stateroom is forward and the Master Stateroom is aft. The Master Stateroom berth is positioned about dead center of the yacht where the motion is least. Both staterooms feature island queen-size berths, efficient use of lighting, aromatic cedar lined closets and ensuites with showers and Vacuflush heads. The storage is impressive in each stateroom.

The engine room - entered from the aft deck - is the heart of the Wendon 480. The generator provides ample power and is enclosed in a sound shield cabinet for a very quiet operation. Powered by twin 420 hp Caterpillar 3126 turbo diesels the 480 performance pilothouse yacht cruises comfortably at around 16 knots. The engine room clearly makes a statement of integrity for Wendon Yachts.
