The full bridge enclosure provides shade and wind protection, while the covered ‘Europa’-style side decks ensure a safe docking experience for your crew on this tri-cabin trawler. The aft cabin rooftop area is partially covered and a wonderful place to relax and view the scenery.
Advanced cruising features include a Garmin autopilot for effortless longer passages, this trawler boasts an impressive fuel capacity of 600 gallons, expandable to 700 gallons for extended journeys. With efficient fuel consumption of just 6 gallons per hour at 8 knots, you’ll enjoy smooth, long-range cruising.
Enjoy the convenience of large water tanks (500 gallons) and waste tanks (120 gallons), allowing you to stay comfortably at your favorite spots, even in waste-protected anchorages.
Experience ultimate comfort with a hybrid mattress in the master stateroom, along with two kayaks, one paddleboard, two folding bikes with helmets, and ample refrigeration with two large refrigerators.
