Sturdy and very solidly built Colin Archer 48, which is excellent for liveaboard or world travel. In recent years, various updates have been made.

The Colin Archers are known for their robust and exceptional sailing characteristics at sea. The 'Bizkaia' has certainly proven itself in this regard.

Its current owner has prepared it over the past few years for longer journeys, with safety and reliability of the ship being the top priority. As a result, the entire rigging has been replaced, the anchoring gear improved, and the entire electrical system checked and replaced as necessary.

Thanks to the insulated hull, it is very pleasant inside and easy to heat. Notably, the interior woodwork is worth mentioning; the first owner was a big fan of clippers and barges and has fitted the 'Bizkaia' accordingly. The headroom inside is very high, and thanks to the beautiful skylight, a lot of light comes in. Many sleeping places have been created, making it also suitable for chartering.
