With many different kinds of trawler yachts being built today, it's important to really understand the kind of long distance cruising that you plan to do. Cruising on your yacht for days, weeks, or even months on board can present a variety of challenges, but is one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences in boating. Owning a trawler with the ability to run long distances brings out your inner explorer, quenching your desire to discover places you've never seen while also feeding it. Whether you plan on cruising the Pacific Northwest, island hopping in the Caribbean, or taking on the Great Loop, before you make a selection on a trawler, it's best to discuss your plans with an experienced, knowledgeable broker that can walk you through the differences in some of the brands, styles, and capabilities.
Trawlers are known to be incredibly seaworthy vessels due to the deep-v hull shape, superior material and construction used on the boat, and the long range they can deliver. Trawler owners are typically not in a hurry with the average boat cruising around 10-15 knots with top speeds in the low to mid 20-knot range. At this speed and with a trawler's design, the fuel burn and efficiency is among the best of all boat types in the industry. Trawler brands like NORDHAVN, Fleming, Kadey-Krogen, Marlow, and Grand Banks are just some of the popular yacht manufacturers that are producing yachts today.
