The Kanter 56 is designed to satisfy ISO 12217 Category A, the most stringent category in the standard. "A boat given design Category A is considered to be designed to operate in winds of Beaufort force 10 or less and the associated wave heights, and to survive in more severe conditions."
Kanter Marine has a history of building robust power craft that includes constructing search and rescue craft for the Coast Guard. Unwavering commitment to dependability is the hallmark of a Kanter vessel. No less demanding is the attention to fine detail in interior appointments. Every component is specifically selected to enhance the cruising and live-aboard experience.
The Kanter 56 is offered in several configurations to meet your cruising needs. In all versions the master stateroom is amidship and is set up for live-aboard cruising with large his and her hanging lockers, king sized berth and plenty of storage. The ensuite is spacious and has a large shower.
Forward of the master stateroom is a convenient laundry/utility area that in turn adjoins the full beam galley. This is a unique space that provides superb visibility and space for all on board to enjoy a large feast separate from the salon. Forward of the galley the vessel can be configured with two staterooms and one large head, as the owners of hull number one chose, or can be a single large VIP suite.
Up a few steps from the galley is the large salon. This area is much larger than most boats of this size and offers superb views while under way or at anchor. The pilothouse is a few steps up and forward of the main salon and provides a great vantage point for the whole crew while underway.
