In the past, trawlers were best associated with commercial fishing, deriving their name from the trawl nets that used to trail against the bottom of the sea behind the boats, but private fisherman and recreational boaters alike have come to appreciate the trawler’s robust design. These motor yachts are ruggedly built to be adept at long distance voyages. They commonly feature spacious pilothouses and protected walkways behind the foredeck for a ride that is more comfortable with less exposure to the elements.

They are also known for their wide boat hulls which means roomier, more luxurious living spaces, a smoother sailing experience and a much more accessible vessel for both recreation and professional boating. Many luxury boaters seek out trawlers to live on for extended ocean voyages to exciting destinations.

With trawlers, you’ll never settle on comfort whatever the path you sail.
