Boon Docks V Boat | 52' DeFever 2016

Arthur DeFever earned the title "godfather of the trawler yacht" by taking the rugged DNA of long-range commercial tuna clippers — vessels built to cross oceans and stay at sea for weeks — and translating it into a private passagemaker. Decades later, the DeFever Euro 52 stands as the modern expression of that legacy: a purpose-built, long-range cruiser with a craftsman-style fit & finish, loaded with offshore systems, and sized perfectly for two to four people to live aboard comfortably from the Great Loop to the Bahamas and beyond. 
Unlike semi-custom builds that come and go, the DeFever has a committed owners association (DeFever Cruisers), a proven lineage, and a market that holds value. The Euro model combines the classic DeFever seakeeping credentials with modern interior design and semi-displacement performance — cruising efficiently at 9 knots. This is the boat serious cruisers choose when they're ready to stop compromising between comfort and capability.
Boon Docks is a rare example of this model. Specially built as Seattle Yachts show room model. She includes an enhanced Galley with upgraded appliances, a full size refrigerator and expanded counter space. Her Twin John Deere engines have LOW hours and she is truly in 'turn-key' condition for her next owners - with a comprehensive offshore equipment package (including StarLink) already aboard.

Construction, Layout And Equipment

The Hull & Deck
The Euro 52 is built on a solid, hand-laid fiberglass semi-displacement hull with a full keel protecting the underwater running gear — a DeFever trademark carried down from the offshore commercial tradition. The signature DeFever Portuguese bridge and molded Euro transom with swim platform give the boat its instantly recognizable profile.

Power, Performance & Handling
Twin John Deere 6068AFM85 330HP diesel engines with a mere 1465 hours are backed by ZF280-1A transmissions. At 1,500 RPM you're moving at a comfortable 9+ knots; push to WOT and she’ll make 12. NAIAD Dynamics active stabilizers make passage-making in a beam sea dramatically more comfortable. Side-Power bow and stern thrusters and Proportional Yacht Controller with wireless remote give one person complete docking control from outside the helm station. With 1,000 gallons of diesel aboard, range is exceptional.

Electrical
“Boon Docks” is equipped to be self-sufficient far from a dock. A Westerbeke 12.5kW diesel generator (650 hours) handles heavy loads, while a Victron MultiPlus 3,000W inverter provides AC power at anchor without running the generator. Lifeline AGM deep-cycle battery banks for the inverter, generator, bow and stern thrusters are each supported by their own dedicated Victron charger. Shore power: 50-amp/250VAC. The 39-circuit DC panel and 19-circuit AC panel are fully labeled.

• 1,000-gallon fuel capacity
• 350-gallon fresh water capacity
• 50-gallon holding tank
• Blue Water Desalination Legend Modular watermaker
• Seaward 20-gallon hot water heater


Interior
The 16-foot beam — one of the defining characteristics of the Euro 52 — is put to excellent use below decks.
The salon features an L-shaped settee, wooden dinette table to port, and a built-in entertainment center with retractable television to starboard. Forward, the galley is outfitted with a Force 10 three-burner LPG stove and oven, Sharp stainless convection microwave, Summit refrigerator/freezer, Broan Elite trash compactor, and a double stainless sink with garbage disposal — a galley spec that rivals a shore kitchen.
The master stateroom sits forward of the salon, accessed by six steps down, with a queen berth and built-in wooden cabinetry. The en suite master head includes a Dometic electric-flush MSD and a separate stand-up shower enclosure. The forward stateroom provides twin berths and its own private head with separate shower — genuinely independent accommodations for guests or crew.
Galley Equipment
“Boondocks” was built for Seattle Yachts as their show room model and she is equipped with an enhanced galley, larger counter space and upgraded appliances (including full size standup refrigerator).
• Force 10 three-burner LPG stove and oven
• Sharp Carousel stainless convection microwave
• Summit refrigerator/freezer
• Broan Elite trash compactor
• Double stainless steel sink with garbage disposal


Flybridge
A full second helm station with captain's chair and wrap-around white upholstered bench seating makes the flybridge the preferred place to spend a day underway. A wetbar with freshwater sink, ice maker, and refrigerator is built into the starboard side. A stainless pipe bimini with blue canvas provides shade. A remotely operated searchlight on the flybridge handles night navigation.
