VENNEKENS TRAWLER 1800

Full Description

Displacing a staggering 55 tonnes and holding a CE Category A rating, this vessel is the absolute epitome of commercial-grade engineering blended with premium liveaboard luxury. Beneath her classic cream hull and sweeping sheer line lies an expedition-ready mechanical setup: twin Caterpillar C7DI marine diesels, Najad Marine fin stabilisers to expertly tame offshore swells, and a phenomenal 6,000-litre fuel capacity that provides a genuine long-distance range. From the heavy-duty watertight pantograph side doors to the meticulously organised engine room, every millimetre of this pilothouse explorer has been engineered for serious, heavy-weather passage-making. Below decks, she transforms into a fully autonomous, four-season off-grid home. Equipped with full double glazing, a robust Maritime Booster central heating system, and a 16kVa Mastervolt Whisper generator, she offers unparalleled comfort across her three spacious cabins. If you want to explore the ultimate steel liveaboard and dive deeper into her specific performance figures and cruising speeds, make sure to read my comprehensive technical deep dive over on Substack
