Description
Reliable. Refined. Ready for Adventure.
This well-equipped 40' trawler-style yacht offers the perfect blend of rugged dependability and cruising comfort, designed for serious passagemaking or extended coastal exploration. Powered by a reliable American Diesel 6N-140 crate engine (installed 2007) with just over 3,100 hours, she boasts exceptional fuel economy—cruising at 7 knots while sipping only 1.75 gallons per hour.
With a 600-gallon fuel capacity, Side Power bow thruster, hydraulic steering, and an articulated rudder, she’s engineered for confident handling in tight marinas or long-haul journeys.
Modern electrical systems support life aboard, including an updated 110VAC system, dual inverters, solar charging, and a Kabola diesel furnace paired with Red Dot heat for year-round comfort. Navigation is handled from dual stations with an extensive suite of electronics including radar, GPS, AIS, autopilot, and Rose Point with Nobeltec software on a dedicated charting system.
On deck, she features a full cockpit enclosure, non-skid weather decks, custom radar arch, crane davit with tender, and a robust anchor system with digital chain counter. The thoughtfully designed interior includes two private staterooms, a well-appointed galley, ensuite guest facilities, and a salon with panoramic visibility and warm teak accents.
Whether you're looking for a capable liveaboard, a reliable cruiser, or a classically styled trawler with modern systems, this vessel checks all the boxes.
