What makes a yacht a “trawler”?
A trawler yacht is typically optimized for comfortable displacement or semi-displacement cruising, prioritising range, stability and day-to-day usability over peak speed. The focus is on cruising confidence: easy docking, clear sightlines, safe deck movement and systems that remain dependable over time.
