While these all generally sport a Trawler aesthetic, people should take care to make the distinction between a semi-planing hull below the waterline, and a more traditional full or semi-displacement hull found on true passagmaker trawlers. Certainly the Fleming 55 Pilothouse should be present here.

@@hawkdsl If you travel by sail get used to 4 to 7 knots. The drudge of slow transit times is why newer boats are so luxurious, to support having more to pass time with. But yeah, it's brutal on any boat with less modern conveniences.
I m surprised that u haven’t included any of the Fleming Yachts in your list I don’t think any of your choices can compete against Fleming or Elling yachts.
Yeah agreed. The boats discussed here are an odd selection. Kadey Krogen 58' EB for me please. Having researched extensively, The Nordhaven semi-displacement hull appears to be at odds with true blue water sailing...being prone to juddering hull slap in bad weather. But the KK with its classic wine glass hull and homely design really is a deal maker. We all have our bias...but for me the KK is the one....you can't define love...and we all have our loves...KK for me closely followed a Fleming.
beautiful boats and yes all of them caught my eye, it would be hard to choose one. they are all iconic. the green boat is a new one on me but has to be the wave of the future.
Earl Johnson, sorry but the Azimut 66 Magellano, in my opinion, is just a standard motor yacht. No matter how much you try you won't be able to go long distances with it. At 160 ltr/hr fuel consumption per engine we are not talking trawler distances anymore. I own a Defever 49, I burn about 12 ltr/hr at 7 kts, which means my range is over 1800 nm with 3400 ltr of fuel on board. She is comfortable in calm seas, but heavy seas also create no problems. I don't think we can say that for several of the boats we saw here.
You can't have a top 5 trawler video without mention of Fleming, Ocean Alexander, or Alaskan! There are many other brands that deserve a mention as well.
The North Pacific 45 would have been a nice fit in the $700k range as a coastal cruiser. It was a pretty big jump from 300k to $1.5m leaving a pretty big hole in the price ranges. My favorite boat out of the 5 is the Kadey Krogen Open 50, which is the only full displacement hull and true trawler out of the five. It will go anywhere in the world and will last a lifetime if maintained.
Anattobay...Ha...that statement is I'm afraid to say...quite flawed. Nordhavn have some real problems with owners complaining of hull slap. The semi displacement hull while fast for calm coastal cruising becomes a real problem when blue water 'any ocean' cruising. The bow shape, which is quite vertical, is prone to slapping into waves and that gives the boat a juddering feel. The hull defines the handling. I've looked into this extensively over 20 yrs...and it is a problem for Nordhavn.
It's truly a toss up for Trawlers, Norhavn, Selene, Outer Reef, Fleming being well established with the first and last having a sizable segment of the market share. Add, Marlow, Bering and the used Defevers and you mix everything. Marlow Explorers are almost picture perfect copies of Fleming on the exterior, performance, size, it's layouts of non structural are the differences. Anyone with more than a passing knowledge will agree Defever trawlers don't need any explanations. ;) Grand Banks as a trawler producer, only in the defunct models / used market. Their current products are motor cruisers rather than trawlers, but their choice. The Grand Alaskans / Alaskans are another Trawler set only available as used it seems, and are a separation of the Alaskan model from Grand Banks since GB did not want to continue them and there was a demand. ( Fleming, Norhavn met that demand before this brand got well established ) Then there are the several dozen "trawlers" available only in the European market. The stlying of these fit with the majority of the Bering trawlers, I call it the souless euro style.
I think you need at least 60/65 feet before it's a live aboard. Smaller then that limits range and ease of owner/op maintenance. Your gonna run out of room real fast on anything smaller.
Thank you for pointing out the Azimut Magellano. Indeed, the Azimut Magellano is known for its long-range cruising capabilities. While it may not be on the list, it's definitely a noteworthy option, although not strictly "trawler-styled". Are there any specific features or aspects of the Azimut Magellano that you find appealing, or any experiences you'd like to share related to it?
Everybody has favourites. Perhaps the author has not trialled a Fleming. But the GB60 is a valid 1st choice. The GB60 has a newly designed hull to reduce drag, thereby enabling greater range or speed or both. If the claims hold true, GB could become the 1st choice for long range cruisers. The comment, the GB is not a true trawler, holds true; it is more of a luxury cruiser in the shape of a trawler; so perhaps it should labelled a neo-trawler? One thing is certain, the GB60 is a very expensive boat.
Just to name a few that you can add: Selene 42 Fleming 60 Beneteau Swift 41 and 62 Hampton 590 Bering 60 Helmsman 46 Marlow 49 Ocean Alexander 27E Alaskan 66 Outer Reef 580, 610, & 640
Great choice! Fleming yachts are indeed highly regarded when it comes to trawler-style yachts. Their reputation for quality craftsmanship, seaworthiness, and attention to detail has made them a top choice among trawler enthusiasts.
Let's have some fun, LET'S DO A HEAD to HEAD SERIES!! you pick 2-3 same footers 50s/60s or style fishing/trawler let your fans pick the winner then WINNER to WINNER until we have the TOP DOG!! each go for a week
What are normal motor yachts doing in a list of trawlers ? Does every boat now want to be called trawler nowadays because of the image a trawler has ? In my book a trawler has a full displacement hull, travels therefore at low speeds, does not burn a lot of fuel, can basically travel everywhere and has an extended range. Fleming (wish I had one), Nordhavn (also wish I had one), Defever (which is what I happen to own) and a few others are true trawlers. In this list I saw a few normal motor yachts, gas guzzling behemoths, pretending to be a trawler.
Sorry dear, as lovely as your voice is it is too robotic for anything but a thumbs down. I would have put one of the larger Nordhavn yachts at #1 and put a Fleming in at #2. The Grand Banks are more of a "Sport Fisher" adaptation to yachting than a trawler.

The Bering 65 & 77 would top my list.

I would add Fleming and Outer reef
Great suggestions!
I love the Outer Reefs too. I believe they have an option for 4000 gallon fuel tanks, which is needed to cross the Atlantic.

1 and 3 great but I would have put a Fleming in at number 2, I did like the video and look forward to seeing more
Thanks very much! Hope to see you again in the comments sometime!
Grand Banks are classic, beautiful yachts
Fleming. Hands down the winner. A celebrity on the water and in a marina. Classic design and a bullet proof build.
No Fleming or Marlow?
beautiful boats and yes all of them caught my eye, it would be hard to choose one. they are all iconic. the green boat is a new one on me but has to be the wave of the future.
Indeed, they are. Thank you for watching!
They're great but I thought/hoped the Azimut 66 magellano might have been on your list

They are all great but the Grand Banks takes the show.
Grand Banks are handsome, but for $3m I'd add another 500k and buy a Bearing 77 in a heartbeat.
You can't have a top 5 trawler video without mention of Fleming, Ocean Alexander, or Alaskan!
There are many other brands that deserve a mention as well.
Fleming is arguably the most over rated and over priced yacht.
@@robgrune3284 by who? I have never heard anyone say they are overpriced OR overrated!!!
My favorite is silent solar power boat following u every morning
Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate the comments.
I think a Grand Banks 54 or Nordhavn of a similar size would be more than enough for most folk.
The North Pacific 45 would have been a nice fit in the $700k range as a coastal cruiser. It was a pretty big jump from 300k to $1.5m leaving a pretty big hole in the price ranges. My favorite boat out of the 5 is the Kadey Krogen Open 50, which is the only full displacement hull and true trawler out of the five.

Thank you for the comment! That's a fair assessment. I'll try to update this soon.
Missed the Fleming 55, far better overall than the others.
I'm a Nordhavan fan but the last yacht got me.
It’s such a beauty!
I'll take the Grand Banks.
I like the list but for me the Fleming range is the top.
I'm interested why you missed them out.
Elling E6 would be an excellent choice
Great suggestion!
Nordhavn is the best and they have the testimony form owners to provide the confidence. Could not get much on the other ones featured.
Anattobay...Ha...that statement is I'm afraid to say...quite flawed. Nordhavn have some real problems with owners complaining of hull slap.

Boat test at haul over inlet the grand banks 60 and the nordhaven 59
No Flemings?
I like the hybrid. I hope all boats go that way and even straight electric.
I’m actually not against that prospect!
It's truly a toss up for Trawlers, Norhavn, Selene, Outer Reef, Fleming being well established with the first and last having a sizable segment of the market share.

why do you suggest the Nordhavn 59 is better for staying close to the coast line??
It's the coastal pilot version. She didn't include their traditional semi displacement trawlers.
how many have a class A rating for weather?
The Nordhavn.
Don't forget David Marlow...
I would definitely have included the Beiring probablyth the 64 or the 77
Great suggestion!
One of each pls
Grand Banks 60!
I think you need at least 60/65 feet before it's a live aboard. Smaller then that limits range and ease of owner/op maintenance. Your gonna run out of room real fast on anything smaller.
What if it was just one person? What minimum size would you recommend in that scenario?
Wasn't there a place in this ranking for a Bering yacht? odd.
What about the Azimut Magelano range?
I have to look it up! Haven't encountered it yet.
@@HarbourMastersTV That's my favourite - Magelano 53 is quite awesome boat
You missed sooooo many great yachts. Azimut Magellano, Fleming, Bering, All Seas, Bentenau...and on and on
Azimut Magellano?

You know, that’s actually a good idea. Let me see what I can do.
nice boats, and all have their uses, but anything that planes can not be called a 'trawler'.
Fair point. Marketing lingo now uses it for aesthetic purposes. Not really a purist but I respect that
Surprised one of the models from the Beneteau Fast Trawler range isn’t included
#2 does not have a pair of 715 hp diesels.
Except for the Krogen, no real trawlers..
What's with calling staterooms, bedrooms.? Have you even been on a boat ?
Fleming is the best.
Fleming

MASTERS/mater(IAL)s
