A Boat Owner’s Insights – Albion Trawler Yacht

In this post of “A Boat Owner’s Insights,” we highlight a 37′ Albion Troller converted to Trawler Yacht. This Albion Trawler is for sale by Waterline Boats / Boatshed Port Townsend look for the direct link belo w.

Albion Trawler: Capable Commercial Fishing Core Combined with the Luxury of a Yacht

Imagine a vessel with the sturdy design of a commercial troller, but also the luxury and amenities of a trawler yacht – all the adventuring that could be had, while remaining cozy and comfortable! For the owner of this Albion Trawler he didn’t stop at just imagining this scenario, but turned it into reality.

To make this happen, the owner oversaw the conversion of a retired commercial salmon troller to a trawler yacht. The result is a vessel with a unique combination of capable and practical with comfortable and snug. Half the fun for him was just in the work of the conversion, though he also thoroughly enjoys fishing, shrimping and crabbing all through Washington waters on this stand-out boat.

Read on to learn more direct from the owner on the thought and effort that went into this spectacular conversion, and the on-the-water opportunities that await new owners.

From Troller to Trawler: Finding the right boat for the conversion

The owner of this Albion Trawler had previously owned a trawler and, being familiar with what that type of boat could offer, set out to find something in that style. He was looking for a vessel with, “…heavy construction, fiberglass hull suitable for two people to spend extended periods aboard but still small enough for day trips, local fishing/crabbing, etc.” When he found a retired salmon troller in Nanaimo, British Columbia it had all the basics he was looking for, and so began the journey of making it his own.

The owner, an electrician by trade, oversaw the conversion. After two years and close to $100,000 the transformation was complete. The re-build included everything from the cabin structure to the electrical and plumbing, and nearly every other component in between.

While the owner certainly has fun using the vessel, it’s also clear he enjoyed the work of the conversion itself. “I have enjoyed using the boat for the 900 hours on the engine,” he says, “but have found that I likely get greater enjoyment in the process of building/repairing/fabricating etc. Not much of that left do to on this boat.”

With that, if you are looking for a truly turn-key, very capable vessel, this is certainly your opportunity!

Cruising the Pacific Northwest

The owner has made numerous trips local to the Port Angeles area, where it’s moored, “…often to the Washington coast between Neah Bay and La Push, fishing/clamming/crabbing in the Strait of Juan de Fuca area, Hood Canal for shrimp and oysters and just messing about.” The owner reports that the boat has also been to, “…the San Juan’s, of course, and as far north as Port Hardy in British Columbia.”

Most recently the owner took friends out Coho salmon fishing in the Straits of Juan de Fuca – with excellent success.

Exceptional Performance and Notable Additions

The owner has been, “…really happy with the performance of this boat…and the reliability of all the systems aboard.” No surprise given the systems are all new, or carefully refurbished. Other reasons that make this boat stand out above the rest include:

• Fuel efficiency, it has, “…exceptionally frugal fuel consumption.” • A heavy commercial salmon troller hull. • All new yacht-grade systems and structures, while still retaining many troller features from the original design. • A single screw protected by the keel. • Freshwater cooling via a keel cooler. • Hydraulic anchor winch on the foredeck. • A bow thruster, “…for easy control while docking.” • Well-designed rail system on deck, “We were particularly attracted to the welded aluminum rail system as relates to grandchildren safety (and us too!)”

This boat is built tough enough to handle the conditions commercial fishermen face, but with all the touches of a recreational yacht. With that, this Albion Trawler offers opportunity to cruise off the beaten track, or, just as well, stand out in a popular anchorage.

Description

Additional information.

• Reviews (0)

Originally built in 1962 as a North Sea research vessel, she underwent a complete rebuild and refit from 1998-2000. The refit was massive and reported costs exceeded 12 million dollars. The boat is a gorgeous yacht that shows outstanding materials and stunning craftsmanship throughout the yacht. The interior wood is exquisite and the layout is perfect for luxurious accommodations.

Refit to be a gentleman’s expedition yacht the hull was flared and painted with Sterling Flag Blue paint. During the refit a new rolled aluminum superstructure was built and installed using bimetal transition inserts. The superstructure is white. Teak trim was added producing the true yacht finish one would expect. The decks were covered with teak and show little wear.

The interior design and layout was designed by an architect while the interior workmanship was overseen by an interior designer. The results are simply stunning. With the finest craftsmanship available, the interior has varnished mahogany wood work and trim, madronal burl woodwork and trim, granite, marble, jade, and exquisite fabrics.

The boat is now available as the owner has finished cruising and is concentrating on business ventures. At this time, she needs exterior paint and some interior soft good rejuvenation to be as spectacular as she once was.

Please call or write for access to an extensive library of photos and a General Arrangement drawing.

Note: this boat is offered in cooperation with a co-broker.

With many different kinds of trawler yachts being built today, it's important to really understand the kind of long distance cruising that you plan to do. Cruising on your yacht for days, weeks, or even months on board can present a variety of challenges, but is one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences in boating. Owning a trawler with the ability to run long distances brings out your inner explorer, quenching your desire to discover places you've never seen while also feeding it. Whether you plan on cruising the Pacific Northwest, island hopping in the Caribbean, or taking on the Great Loop, before you make a selection on a trawler, it's best to discuss your plans with an experienced, knowledgeable broker that can walk you through the differences in some of the brands, styles, and capabilities.

Well, then fast your gaze upon what is known as a trawler - a perfect option for those seeking all of the above points just mentioned. Please meet the well-known boat type - a trawler - which is simply a price conscious motorboat with a full-displacement, ballasted hull that possesses just that perfect cruising range for those long-ocean passages you’ll be heading out on to decompress from the never ending present day chaos.

Below are some of the well-known trawler yacht brands in the industry :

• American Tug

• Kadey-Krogen Yachts
• Mainship Yachts
• Marlow Yachts
• Nordhavn Yachts
• Outer Reef Yachts
• Ranger Tug Boats

As Ferrari is to sexy race cars, trawlers are to functional ‘workboat-look’ recreational boats. Yes, ‘trawler’ is a classic, non-Euro ‘look’. This lends itself to a specific so called, ‘trawler lifestyle’ which translates to a sailor’s cruising lifestyle with the power of a motorboat. Those who appreciate their boat to have excellent sea keeping skills coupled with the range to take you to far - off hideaways, are in for a real treat when setting out on a trawler. Invite your family and friends as the trawler yachts offer long-term living accommodations - perfect for desiring an ‘at anchor’ remote boat getaway. These ‘small packages with a punch’ will carry, launch, and retrieve your tender too - thanks to her efficient crane.

Listing some of the trawlers other features, such as anchor accommodations, reverse windows, a pilot house, and walk around decks for line handling and docking, you’ll find this type of boat is well equipped for leisure and fun!

So get your calendar out and block off a stretch of time, as the trawler embraces trips like those!

Once a commercial fishing boat, the trawler has evolved to meet all boater requests of this present day resembling a comfortable home with the benefit of never having to jump in and out of your car as you’ll be motoring above sea level from one port to the next sipping on your favorite island cocktail and popping shrimp cocktails! You can choose from a more basic trawler or go all out with designing one that rivals a luxury yacht with all it’s out of this world comforts.

Don’t be surprised if that block of time turns into calling your realtor to put your house on the rental market as you’ve decided to set out aboard your sweet ride on the water for months on end or even decided to drop the home and move aboard! We don’t see why you couldn’t if your spirit has been calling you out to a sea salt life as there’ll be no compromise in comfort with the trawler’s private staterooms for nights dreaming above the ocean, full galleys to prepare scrumptious fresh-caught fish dinners, and roomy galleys to gather in and share island stories. Why should long-distance cruising be any less as it’s equally important getting to your dream destination. Slow and steady, you’ll be pleased to see the fuel bill is allowing you extra funds for elaborate dinners out or that new tender you’ve been eyeing.

If you’re more of a tropical breeze cruiser, then by all means, get her ready to cruise south for the winter to extend the warm months aboard. The journey up and back on the intracoastal waterway has been traveled by many with the same idea to keep that summer warmth going! You’ll appreciate how little fuel she’ll consume and that excellent range we continue to remind you of too. Built for voyages such as these, the builders have kept the size of the engine areas to a minimal and chose displacement hulls to aid in cutting through the seas instead of sucking up tons of power. Your search for a super trawler is doable as you’ll find many to be ocean-crossing water babies. If you want the speedier versions, there are a few builders who can accommodate you in making that dream come true on your trawler too. And don’t be fearful you’ll have to give up the low fuel bills, as even the fast trawlers typically offer superior fuel economy than many different powerboat styles.

What we find our clients greatly appreciate is the trawler’s expansive cabin space even on the smaller models and some can offer aft cabins in the rear and some manufacturers pulled all stops out and in their larger models have been known to add multiple deck levels to these ever evolving sweet ‘floating packages’.

We hope you’ve come to see that there are numerous reasons many of our clients love trawlers of all sizes because you don’t always need a yacht-sized vessel to make your dreams of venturing to remote ports in comfort and efficiency a reality without exhausting the retirement savings account.
