Listing Link:

Traveller II is a Ocean Series trawler designed by Bray Yacht Design and Research and built by Rodriguez Shipbuilders in Alabama.

This vessel structure exceeds ABS Rules for Unrestricted Offshore use and has both a collision bulkhead and watertight bulkheads. The bulbous bow and speed nozzle all contribute to make this vessel more fuel efficient than most vessels as well as giving a very stable ride. Step onboard and check out this awesome steel trawler with Martin Snyder.

For someone who was “unprepared” that was an EXCELLENT tour. You hit ALL the important stuff, showed off a beautiful well built and maintained boat, and did it very smoothly.

[@walkervalleymedia]

glad we hit most of the main stuff for you! Thanks for watching

[@Joe_1sr9]

Fantastic boat and value for the money. This is what I’d want for serious off shore cruising… I bet it won’t be around for long. Love it…

[@Ash-u5s1n]

Probably the best tour guide I have ever watched. Well done sir.

I'm a diehard Sportfisher guy but this boat could change me, well done presentation!

[@walkervalleymedia]

if you are happy being on the boat, the fuel economy is well worth the speed trade off to me. It is a very soft ride and way less worry of hitting something.

[@NeroontheGoon]

You really can’t get a better designed hull than Bray. Very, very efficient hulls and very stable.

[@swedishkev]

Great professional tour. I absolutely love this little ship. The interior wood finish is top-notch. The boat is so shippy. Love the galley and the bridge. Seems only like on the stern, that table spoils the boat. Needs some lovely lounge seating and a much lovely big varnished table and chairs. Perhaps it is better to bring the roof all the way back,so not so exposed to the weather, Other than that, she's beautiful, l wish l had that money, well worth every penny. The only thing is, affording the fuel and running costs, which l suspect is very low anyway.

[@ThomasKuhar]

Just think of the cost of a haul out/ bottom paint/zincs!

[@myfuturenowmp]

Did you say it had Stabilizers for travelling? I would like this and spend another 1million to make it lots better. It appears to be all new paint so not sure how that would stand up would be better stainless rails but other wise looks good. Where is it I would most likely come look at it plus others

[@walkervalleymedia]

Located in Seattle Wa. I don’t think you’d even come close to spending $1m to make it a 2024 dream boat, but the sky is the limit. Wesmar hydraulic stabilizers. Contact Martin Snyder [e-mail]

Are the fuel tanks steel? Is there any rust inside?

[@walkervalleymedia]

@@Buddhistview145 that would be a good question for the broker, I *think* just looking at it and the main layout, the tank / tanks are probably steel and forward of the engine room, Martin is international right now but will be back in a few days. Feel free to email him [e-mail] if you’re truly interested.

@@brokerhc I didn’t see a rating other than “This vessel structure exceeds ABS Rules for Unrestricted Offshore use and has both a collision bulkhead and watertight bulkheads. “ It’s a little beyond my knowledge though.

[@joebeach7759]

Would this have to much of a draft for the "great loop"? I think max is 5' and air draft is 19ish' but you could probably do something to collapse the Mast hydraulically.

[@walkervalleymedia]

@@joebeach7759 I think you would be pushing it. Maybe with some careful planning and measurements. It definitely would be a comfy ride for that if you can make it work though!

[@joebeach7759]

@walkervalleymedia i know there are ways around the shallow areas and this is only about a foot too deep. Love the boat though. Does it have an ice rating?

any info on fuel consumption at cruise speed? guessing 12-16 gph at 8-9kn?

[@walkervalleymedia]

The captain said 5000 nm range at 6.5-7 kn with 5450 gal of fuel, Not sure what 8-9kn would be but probably close maybe a tiny bit less gph.

[@shadofax41]

Is this the price of a knew boat

[@walkervalleymedia]

if only. I don't think you could buy the uncut steel for this price anymore.

[@brendanukveteran2360]

One thing I like abouit this boat is that you are NOT compelled by fixed seating to spend off watch time looking at the entrance to the salon from the cockpit - WHY do builders do that? At home I look at my garden NOT the back door!!!

[@dennismalcolm6620]

NICE BOAT 🚢 AND FOR A BOAT THAT SIZE I THINK THAT THE PRICE IS RIGHT ✅️ 😀..

[@jonathanvince8173]

This is what I don't like the access to the engine room from the outside only. So in rough weather easy for water to get in. the other thing is about the bow with a long over reach bowsprit makes the boat look wrong as if an after thought.

Hey skippy, I’m going to have my family charitable trust reach out and make an offer. Does it come with a full tank…..that’s about $21 K.
