Our brokers combine decades of hands-on bluewater cruising experience with deep technical knowledge of trawler systems. We don’t just sell boats — we are trawler owners, operators, and passionate advocates for the cruising lifestyle.

We specialize exclusively in premium trawlers that serious cruisers trust for deep sea travel and ocean crossings. We prefer fiberglass builds like, Nordhavn, Selene, Kadey-Krogen, Fleming, Marlow, DeFever, American Tug, Nordic Tug and all many other ocean capable brands.
