Trawler

A trawler yacht takes its name and its shape from the fishing boat: a full or semi-displacement hull, a modest engine or pair of engines, a high bow and a deep keel, and a range measured in thousands of miles rather than hundreds. Speed is in the single figures or low teens, and fuel burn is a fraction of a planing yacht’s.

The trade-off is time, and the owners who choose it usually intend to live aboard or to cross oceans. Listings here are labelled trawler by the brokerage; a listing’s particulars carry the range and tankage where they were published.
