Trawler Tuesday

Beneteau's Grand Trawler 62

Semi-Displacement Trawler: 1,044 NMiles at 9 Knots

The Grand Trawler 62 is powered by twin MAN 700-hp diesels that the builder says can get her up to 20 knots in a pinch, but we’d prefer to operate her at 8-9 knots and enjoy the trawler life-style. Beneteau has built a number of different models over the years, and this one is the largest yet. See Our Video ->

Greenline OceanClass 68:

Stylish Eco-Friendly FB Yacht

All trawlers are motoryachts, but not all motoryachts are trawlers. Then, there are vessels such as the Greenline OceanClass 68. She looks like a modern motoryacht, but in her engine room she can carry a big secret – hybrid power. She can be powered by either twin C-12 or C-18 CAT diesels or the manufacturer’s hybrid diesel/electric system for economy and range -- just like a trawler. See Our Video ->
