Is This The BEST Trawler Yacht Conversion Out There?

[@YachtBuoy]

[@malmotumotu5218]

Thank you for mentioning the price! Something a lot of boat sales videos neglected

[@dougtarbet6193]

I’ve looked at Elena many times on the internet. She checks off many things I would want in a “little ship”. 👍

[@YachtBuoy]

Her range, combined with her steel hull, steel superstructure and fuss-free interior are definitely big ✅ ‘s

[@johnshepherd4842]

your selection has hit the peak. an ocean going deepwater trawler, owned by a 'mariner' and a naval architect who has some 'sea time' simple practical design and completely suited to her environment the correct amount of thought. well spotted JJ

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the comment 🙌 I fear I may have peaked too early lol however, the hunt shall continue ⚓️

@@YachtBuoy can sails be added to a trawler like this?

[@johnmcdonald284]

@@sepi846 they shouldn't

[@sepi846]

@@johnmcdonald284 Why? This vessel has a displacement hull right?

[@johnmcdonald284]

@Sepi theoretically there is no reason you couldnt put sails on, but imo the boat is so heavy, and the modifications would be so extensive for proper stability, that it would make no sense to add sails. I'm not an expert on boat design and I will never claim to be, but I have done a lot of sailing and this boat would be just about the slowest sailboat in the world if you added sails

It warms my heart that the old girl gets a second chance at the sea.

Hi,now this is what I call a TRAWLER yacht,there is no comparison with her and the so called trawler yachts sailing under false flags. As a retired UK trawlerman I can appreciate her lines and what she can do.cheers Roly 🇬🇧.

[@teeanahera8949]

Really? How about Project Brupeg in Qld? A fishing trawler of about 80 tonnes in the midst of conversion.

[@patrickmessinger7040]

So nice to see a yacht that shares the same age as me. Only she looks a lot better than my 54 years. (:

[@YachtBuoy]

😂

[@wolfofrhodeislandx7462]

Beautiful conversion im in awe

[@EyeofHorus2347]

Okay, I couldn’t NOT subscribe. I have become addicted to your reviews of these converted trawler yachts! If only I could afford one! I absolutely love the simple, clean design of the interior of this yacht. I would actually get on a vessel like this to cross an ocean. I could even see living on it full time. I can’t say that about many yachts. Both the cabins and decks offer expansive areas so you don’t feel crowded. You could do so much with all that open deck space. The views from the upper decks must be amazing. Thanks for featuring another fantastic converted yacht!

[@johnkearney478]

This is the type of Boat I would be extremely happy with...

[@stephenlaraway44]

Very nice indeed

[@claytonvanthoff8889]

I love this boat, and know how to do all the work to restore, just don't have the money. I would love to do the same, what a classy boat.

[@Philipk65]

That is a top conversation. Ocean going trawlers are really great boats for all weather conditions. The price is great too.

[@YachtBuoy]

I would love to see more converted trawlers. I spotted one whilst shooting some footage for my most recent video. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think 🙌

[@alisavas9526]

What a lovely boat!

[@YachtBuoy]

[@cheeseblog]

With the right captain, I would feel extremely safe in this vessel.

[@alibabaneue-welt9602]

Whauuu , what a stunning Trawler ! Elena looks like what she is , great conversation , simple and fine in one way ! Thats what i'm looking for , also the price is ok for this class of ship . Need to book flight and check this pearl of the ocean . Many thanks for this nice vid my friend 👍👍👍

Really nice and solid yacht, like her! Although the fuel consumption seems too high for me. The new generation explorer are doing with 50% of her consumption.

[@shawngoguen9451]

What a great ship ! What a wonderful job transforming her .. If I could hit mega bucks she would be mine not a stuffy yacht !!!

[@scottgibson6735]

all,I can say,is magnificent!Imenjoyed,your commentary,and video.I don’t have the money ,but even,if I did,my health wouldn’t allow me,to have her,nor would my wife.I can’t blame her though,she’s been caring for over ten years,since,a stroke left me, ahemplegic,and bedridden.

Awesome run down. Beautiful ocean going trawler. Be worth having footage of the trawlers at sea.

[@shananagans5]

Beautiful boat. Wish they would have extended the main salon some. That would have been easy to do during the conversion and extra interior space would really add to it. Overall, it's still a great boat for the money. You would be hard pressed to find anything as capable in that price range. I would bet you could even extend that main salon 8 to 10 feet or so and still have an amazing boat for the money.

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

I was thinking exactly the same, there's plenty of room to extend the salon & still have a big aft deck, that's what I would do👍✌️

[@nickwatkins5321]

Simple, basic accommodation, but comfortable and fit for purpose. You know that this isn’t a Med grp tart, but a seriously good seafaring vessel. A lot of modern yachts leave me a bit cold, they are just poseurs toys, but this is practical boat that would be a joy to travel on. Me being a clumsy bastard though, I’d be forever tripping going through the doors lol

[@allyoop7138]

[@joeydepalmer4457]

Very nice boat. Still has that working boat feel though. Would have liked to see it before they converted it. 2 Things that are major pluses for me (even though I was army - sorry) is the port windows and the knee knocker hatch ways.

[@davidsprinkle1111]

when i win the lottery i,m coming for elena, fill it with oreos and ice cream for the grand kids in the carribean except in the stormy no insurance season and explore.

[@kisalnapagoda]

What a beautiful Dutch Trawler Yacht!!! This is worth more than buying an exotic car that drains my bank account.

[@YachtBuoy]

It’s more fun too 😀🙌

Just the type of boat for the West Coast of Canada.

[@SayWhatinAz]

Would love to see a mega winch on the rear...

[@allyoop7138]

This one of a select few smaller all weather M/Y's I would dare head out to sea toting my family. Appears to be much stouter than a 58 Fleming.

[@didik121]

this would be GREAT, enough space to rigg up wirdsurfsails... unfortunately I dont see any bathing platform at the stern?

[@Svendskommentar]

Impressive trawler. If we bunker right now, in Denmark, it will cost 67153,38 dollar. Give or take.

[@YachtBuoy]

In the UK it would probably cost double that lol - fuel prices are ridiculous. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment 🙌

[@JohnDSmith-po4nu]

Hey, if you buy a yacht/boat/vessel this size... at a comaparable reasonable prize, you might be thinking of runnng cost of around 100k a year... or so... depending on how many nm you'd cover. A fuel consumption of 6 to 7 litres per nm does indeed sound not too much. Many motor sailers of this size would slurp from 4 to 20 litres, and some luxurious motor yachts burn even more... So what!

[@kevinmencer3782]

That's a hell of a lot of boat for less than a mil. Do converted commercial boats tend to go for less than equivalent purpose built boats?

[@kowkunt8710]

What upgrades would she need

[@herman7661]

Very nice ship, but old technology. No plotter to be seen, for instance. Also probably needs a wing engine for emergencies.

Generator? Water maker? Brown water tank? Only 1 head? Engine room? Crew quarters?

[@YachtBuoy]

As I couldn’t get on this vessel I only had limited info

[@charliecharles-xw4ub]

Is this a boat or a ship? Doesn't seem to be a clearly defined distinction separating the two. Some would call it a bot. Others, a ship. However, everyone would agree it is quite the capable vessel. And, it is almost affordable. Then again, I'm only talking about the advertised asking price. I can't imagine what it would cost to operate per whatever metric one cared to apply. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap. Still, a guy can dream, eh?

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

One of the things I like most about trawler yachts is that they can come and go without raising eyebrows, yet can be very stylish inside. Specs say six guests and four crew. I can't find any illustrations showing the layout better.

[@sherlockholmez8764]

You didn't say anything about the huge rear deck.

STELLER! " It was to be five long days at sea the first week in June. By taking a place in a sailboat race Mobile to Cancun. An absence of men, so I asked a friend, he never sailed but he did'nt flinch. He said you got to love a sport that lets you drink and use a word like wench, and my buddy sang, Unload these sails make more room for whiskey down here, we got enough of this nautical stuff we need room for liquor and beer."

Funny how the hard working class once disdained tools suddenly become objects of pride and luxury.
