2012 Mainship 414 Trawler

Cruise in comfort and style

Trawler owners today are on a mission. They are looking for boats that set up for cruising the Great Circle Route, navigating to Alaska and puttering through the British Isles, Circumnavigating Australia.
To be sure, this requires a sea worthy boat, but it also requires a comfortable saloon for living and entertaining. It mandates staterooms and heads that are built for cruising families and couples, not for glitz at a boat show. Many Asian trawler builders shoehorn a lot of living space in a saloon, Pilot House and forward stateroom(s). The problem is that you are climbing or going down steep stairs from sunrise to sunset and at the end of the day you are exhausted. That is why we have the saloon on one level and the staterooms just two steps down - we build cruising boats, not jogging trails.

The saloon has a two person helm chair and comfortable L shaped settee to stbd.
