2012 Custom Steel Expedition Trawler
Estate Sale – Santa Barbara, California
45’ Santa Barbara Harbor Slip Available Separately
Built in 2012 at the renowned Yachtsmiths yard in Nova Scotia and designed in collaboration with Eye Marine Consultants, this custom steel displacement trawler was purpose-built for serious passage-making, live-aboard comfort, and long-range cruising efficiency. Thoughtfully engineered by an experienced owner with an emphasis on systems access, liveaboard practicality, and efficient long-range cruising rather than maximizing guest accommodations. She represents a rare opportunity to acquire a true custom expedition-style vessel with exceptional cruising range and capability.
Powered by a John Deere 4.5L diesel and cruising comfortably around 6–6.5 knots while reportedly consuming approximately 1.5 gallons per hour, this vessel offers remarkable long-distance efficiency from her substantial 575-gallon fuel capacity. Estimated cruising range approaches approximately 2,000+ nautical miles with prudent reserve—making her an ideal platform for extended coastal cruising, Pacific Northwest exploration, Alaska passages, Mexico cruising, or even more ambitious offshore adventures.
Her robust steel displacement hull delivers a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride underway, while the warm custom interior reflects traditional craftsmanship blended with practical livability. The pilothouse and salon are bright and inviting, featuring panoramic visibility, abundant natural light, rich wood joinery, and a timeless working-trawler aesthetic. Below, the accommodations are simple, functional, and welcoming for extended time aboard.
The engine room is notably clean, organized, and highly serviceable, with excellent access throughout. Systems appear to have been laid out with maintenance and reliability in mind—consistent with the vessel’s custom expedition-oriented design philosophy.
Notable Features Include:
This vessel is being offered as part of an estate sale following the passing of her original owner. She presents a unique opportunity for a knowledgeable buyer seeking a heavily customized, efficiently engineered long-range trawler with substantial character and capability.
Additionally, a highly desirable 45’ (48' LOA x 14' 8" Beam) Upwind slip in Santa Barbara Harbor is available for transfer for additional consideration.
Vessels of this caliber, individuality, and cruising capability are rarely offered on the West Coast.
Shown by appointment only.
