Other than a Benteau Flyer 12m is there anything else out there that meets those criteria,

Fed up of going round in circles so thought i would ask the collective.
Its probably only a pipe dream but what's the harm in that .
 
I’d say you would want to check your maths. A Beneteau Flyer 12 has 1200L diesel tanks. Based on the common figure of 1mpg (1 gallon = 4.5L) that we often hear for a 40ish footer, you’ll be burning 90L per hour at 20 knots. 20 knots for 400nm takes 20 hours. So you’re talking 1800L for that trip.
 
Seahaven Voyager will definitely do that. Might be a bit out of budget, but an amazing thing.

Do you think that picture is real…or are they just capturing the boat as it’s turning…because I wouldn’t like to go far with a beam sea like that 😳
As far as the OP’s question…most boats at cruising speed only have a 200 mile range. But if he slows down he could probably get a thousand miles

No pipe dream.
The Sargo 45 will do about 400 nm with a 15% reserve which is plenty on a twin D6 (IPS 650) boat with 2000 liter (tall and square) tanks with pickups at the very bottom.

I did over 380 nm with 99,x % @ 25-28 knots at one occasion. Could gone further, but fuelled up due to price.
And to the Googelers, some specs will say 1600 liters. Bigger 2000 (2x1000) liter tanks was optional, but most boats built are delivered with the 2k L tanks. And if desired, I'm sure an extra 1000 liters or som can be fitted upon request as its plenty of room for it and the boat has no issues handling the weight.

My Sargo 31, or perhaps a 33 would possibly do it if I had the extra tank they offer. If you are serious I would talk to them. There is plenty of room on my boat for extra tanks. But as someone else asked....why?
