Description

  • This boat is a must-see if build quality and responsible upkeep is important to you in a trawler. She is kept in fresh or brackish water when not cruising the Bahamas (currently docked on Tchfuncte River in Covington, Louisiana.) The owner has kept meticulous diagrams, logs, and maintenance records since purchase in 1997.


  • The DeFever 48 is a long-range trawler yacht with Europa styling and near bullet-proof construction. This model ranks among the top Taiwanese trawlers of her era and the bestselling DeFever designs ever produced. The comfortable, three-stateroom interior features an expansive salon with a U-shaped galley aft, two full heads, and a spacious master suite. The two forward cabins both feature bunk beds.
