2026 Helmsman 43 Sedan for Sale – 46 ft – Charleston, South Carolina, United States

The 43 Sedan includes all the refinements developed from experience with our other models including roofline and deck water handling, interior sound attenuation, and full acoustic and thermal lining of the hull around the master stateroom. The owner's stateroom is roomy, with large and deep hanging lockers. Storage shelves line the walls, and drawers and storage lockers provide additional storage. The guest stateroom features a double berth, a hanging locker, and storage lockers and drawers. An ensuite head with enclosed shower adjoins the owner's stateroom, and a second head with enclosed shower compartment serves as a convenient day head / guest head. A single stateroom version is available, as are custom layouts. Exterior features include a high bow, bulwarks side entry doors, and a large cockpit with a full-length cover. Full walk-around capability increase this boat's practicality and safety in all weather conditions. The flybridge accommodates a choice of layouts -- centerline helm with L-shaped settee, or a starboard helm with U-shaped dinette. The boat deck is large, with plenty of space for a dinghy and/or deck chairs. The entire upper deck is ringed with a no-drip edge. An optional hardtop over the flybridge is available.
