[Sold] - $565,000 - (2009) Great Harbour GH47 Trawler Yacht For Sale

[@richborgo]

by far the best 47 I have seen. Funny you said the owners lived on it so you wouldnt open up much , then proceeded to open up more than you have compared to the other n47's youve shown, lol.

[@GarnockReviews]

I'm friends with the new owners of this one. They love spending winter in Florida then cruise all the way up the ICW during the summer months before making the return trip south. Great liveaboard for such a trip

[@gfroese4799]

A 47 ft trawler with a wheelhouse head . Excellent . To many manufactures seem to forget that when you got to go , you got to go . I've seen so many trawlers where you have to run down 2 decks to use the head .

[@GarnockReviews]

I agree. If you were doing long passage making trips, especially either single handed or with limited crew, this has a fantastic setup

[@theusefulchannel]

Great Harbour are a criminally underrated boat builder.

[@GarnockReviews]

I had never heard of them before starting my channel. Now, if I had the time and money to buy a Loop boat, they would be high up my list 🤠

[@theusefulchannel]

@@GarnockReviews I became aware of them in the late 00s . The N37, the GH37 and their N47 could still be sold today if they have someone more motivated in selling their fine work.

[@theusefulchannel]

@@GarnockReviews If I had the money I would love a N47 to cruise around Scotland as a liveaboard.

[@GarnockReviews]

They are a busy yard these days selling the N37 and N47 as well as the TT35. They have something like 10 boats under contract right now.....unfortunately, none with my name on it 🥺

[@GarnockReviews]

That would be awesome! I've seen more and more KZbin videos about people circling the UK. The Great Harbour would be perfect for that.

[@adityajoshi3524]

Amazing walkthrough tour.Thanks Garnock yachts👍

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🤠

[@cindyreid6404]

Best presentation! Love the Great Harbor❤

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Cindy, glad you enjoyed my video 🤠

[@Squirel]

Very classy boat with nice lines and a very comfortable interior. Love the range too.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching! Crazy to think something close to 50ft can sail for 3,500 miles with only 1,300 gallons of fuel. Your cruising grounds are vastly increased with such a range

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

and thank you for this nice show ot the Great Harbour GH47 Trawler Yacht a very impressive boat for long distence thanks again

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching 🤠

[@para1324]

Entire interior spaces beautifully designed.

[@GarnockReviews]

I agree! My wife isn't a big boat fan and even she saw the appeal when she stepped onboard a Great Harbour 🤠

[@jpshipwash6240]

Outstanding presentation. Thank you.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks JP, glad you enjoyed it 🤠

[@norarivkis2513]

Best galley I've ever seen on a smaller yacht. The catamaran designers, who use about the same amount of space for their galley but usually not as effectively, should take lessons from this.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Nora! I agree 100%, you could easily prepare any meal onboard that you could make in your own home. I certainly would never think I am standing in a yacht under 50ft if you dropped me in that galley!

[@norarivkis2513]

@@GarnockReviews Definitely. The only thing that boat is missing for me is one more sleeping cabin... I've got too many children for a 47, even a well-designed one. But when I get my own boat built, which is the plan, I'm going to remember that galley and make mine very similar.

[@KM2399]

Another great video from Garnock

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤠

[@MyTube4Utoo]

A gorgeous boat! Thanks for the video.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching 🤠

[@Pouncerman]

What a terrific boat!

[@GarnockReviews]

That was filmed 2 years ago and is still up there as one of the best liveaboards I've filmed 🤠

[@Pouncerman]

@@GarnockReviews I look at other reviews and they pan the camera so poorly it practically gives me a headache! Great job!

[@GarnockReviews]

@Pouncerman thank you! My original videos made people sea sick 😆 Once I knew my channel was going to be a more long-term project, I invested in better equipment and software. It was worth the gamble 😉

[@martigrey5872]

It's so ugly somehow but it's such a great boat inside. The cabin up is great. I'd probably go with this over any other up to 55' yacht. Thanks for the comparison and showing the differences. A Nordhaven 55 with 2 engines costs 2 times as much. Just put a bed into the utility room and you have 3 cabins 3 heads, same range and a great boat for the price.

[@GarnockReviews]

At first glance as you walk the pontoons, she might not have the same stylish design as others. However, once you spend time onboard inside and out, I doubt you could find a boat as practical or as spacious for the same size. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it 🤠

[@cber5077]

She’s a beauty and very well kept, but just 1 bedroom below.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching and glad you liked the boat. In her current configuration she has 2 cabins, the owners master cabin and the watch cabin. It is possible to convert the utility room into a cabin if it was needed.

[@tinkmarshino]

Never have I see this yacht.. I think I am in love.. Wish it had a bit higher top end.. for those time when weather or sleepy cruise ship drivers get to close at night.. Thanks

[@GarnockReviews]

I only learned of Great Harbour after starting my KZbin channel, but now I'm hooked. I've been fortunate to check out several of their models, and I certainly understand the appeal. Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your feedback.

[@tinkmarshino]

@@GarnockReviews Amazing little boat huh.. I will be back..

[@jasonissel217]

That was a unique layout, a big galley, the salon was placed curiously, but I loved the pilothouse. How low would it ride in the water, and how well would that handle bad weather?

[@GarnockReviews]

I've been fortunate to have been on many boats over the years, and I can't think of a layout like it. If you are looking for liveaboard or extended cruising, I doubt you could find better accommodation. As to the weather, I had the same thoughts the first time I saw a Great Harbour. They looked top heavy and pictured them rolling at the first wave. Now though, I would go anywhere in these boats. From the deck up is all lightweight core construction. All the engines, generators, tanks etc sit low. It keeps the center of gravity where you want it and they sail well because of it.

[@stevefaure415]

Very unusual boat. It has a suburban tract home kind of feel to the layout. Not in a bad way though

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Steve. I agree that when I'm on a Great Harbour, there is nothing else like them. Great use of space and storage for extended cruising.

[@jorgemiguel1040]

I will take the boat, if the 2 boxes of Life cereal are included. OMG real the perfect boat.

[@GarnockReviews]

That stash of bottled water and toilet rolls could have doubled the boats value last year 🤪

[@bud1412]

Good job on the review. Love the boat and layout. I think they are great boats, but wonder how they handle rough weather like a 47 Nordhavn would?

[@GarnockReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it. If I had the time and money, I would take this anywhere she would physically fit or have the range to cover. I know of a 37ft Great Harbour that made it to Hawaii under its own power. They are fantastic sea boats

[@miketee2444]

I've seen prettier Trawlers but it would be easy to overlook with a GH. Loads of space and they seem to hold value up there with the b st of them.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Mike. They have a strong following but relatively few numbers available. It helps keeps the price steady and not depreciate like some others.

[@kevinsluder3711]

just saw this very boat at a marina in Newburyport, MA

[@GarnockReviews]

I'm friends with the new owner on Facebook. I've loved following along as they left Longboat Key on the west coast of Florida, pretty much all the way up the east coast in the Intercoastal. Perfect liveaboard for that sort of cruising 🤠

[@witheredheath1]

Shame they no longer make these. Great layout

[@GarnockReviews]

Looks like they are focusing on the N and TT models for now. I'm sure they would consider building another GH in the future.

[@Toffie10]

a Very nice boat. But one thing you did'nt mention is if she got any means of stabilization?

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Pieter, glad you enjoyed the video. This one doesn't have stabilizers installed but was designed not to need them. I would think they could be installed retroactively but these boats are known for cruising offshore without any issues 🤠

[@blueskies8834]

The boat has a square chine which gives "natural stability" @@GarnockReviews

[@frankcherry3810]

That was nice

[@mikephillips9311]

Still available? Stabilizers? What material are the fuel tanks made of? Thank you.

[@GarnockReviews]

Mike, thanks for watching. Unfortunately this one is now sold. It sold in a matter of weeks as these boats have such a strong demand. I am not currently aware of any Great Harbour GH47's available on the market today.

[@blueskies8834]

Tankage is all built it, fiberglass over a plywood frame. @@GarnockReviews

[@nielsf2743]

No stabilisers?

[@GarnockReviews]

No stabilizers on this one. Great Harbour have a section on their website explaining why it is not needed at www.greatharbourtrawlers.com/-stability-vs-ballast.html

[@johngauntlett4915]

Nice looking boat. Now you're in my former neck of the woods. Lived in Sarasota Bradenton area since '86 until I moved to the mountains of Carolina in '11. Did you make it by Gordon Ramsay's in Orlando last week? Are you going to have any more reviews for the Sarasota area?

[@GarnockReviews]

It's a nice part of Florida for sure, but pretty far for me based in Jacksonville. Never say never though as I've now got a GH37 in Bradenton and a GH47 in Longboat Key already. Didn't make Gordon Ramsay as the plan was for my wife and I to put the pups in boarding and take the trip together. Unfortunately the pups didn't have the shots they needed for boarding so my wife stayed home with the dogs and I went alone. Didn't feel right going without her, so we will have to plan another trip soon.

[@johngauntlett4915]

@@GarnockReviews same with me, planning on going down there around Thanksgiving. Although I will fly this time.

[@bruceclaridge5]

Still available?

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching and for reaching out. This one sold real fast as they have such a strong following. I am not aware of any GH47s on the market right now 😞

[@larryh.6576]

It appears to have an extreme mold problem in lower storage area. You stated these areas are great for extra supplies for long range trips. I wouldn’t use any area with mold issues. Mold spreads so if not fixed right away it will get to your food supplies. I have friends who can speak of nightmare issues and sickness that lasted for months. Check it out carefully. Can be costly to get fixed.

[@GarnockReviews]

Hey Larry, thanks for watching. I agree mold is not something you want to be dealing with on a boat. I never noticed any major signs of it on this boat when I was onboard. This one is now sold and I am not aware of any major issues being found on the sea trial or survey. I think it helps when people use the boat for extended periods of time, rather than leaving the boat unattended. Even if the boat was brand new, I would still recommend putting food and other belongings in some sort of storage container. That way if anything gets into the hold be it mold, water, dirt, etc then it would not contaminate whatever is being stored.

[@rusty9129]

I absolutely LOVE the space in this 47! I was first interested because it has only 4 cylinder engines and is therefore much less expensive to operate and maintain but have since fallen for the layout and room. I do have a big concern and that is the size...this boat looks like a giant floating shoebox and I worry that it would be a terrible handful in the wind. Is there anyone here that can tell me it is or is not?

[@GarnockReviews]

Rusty, thanks for taking the time to watch my video and to leave a comment. I admit, when I first saw the GH47 that was my concern too. However, if you jump on Facebook and look for groups doing the Great Loop, you will see the Great Harbour line everywhere! They love them! That also includes being able to be handled in tight lock gates with other boats around. The twin engine design improves maneuverability and although she has the aerodynamics of a brick, she has so much weight that it helps keep her in place better. Most of them also have bow thrusters and some have stern thrusters for that extra push. Thanks again!

[@olddiver]

I can see why they are not made anymore. Horrible aft deck space…, forget fishing… who does not fish when cruising???? Weird.

[@harbourdogNL]

This is actually kind of a nice boat, but it just shows so badly...the vile and dated decor does not do it any favours. A gut job of the fixtures, galley, decorations, etc. and you could turn this into a decent looking gentleman's small yacht.

[@GarnockReviews]

Hey Harbour Dog, thanks for watching and for the feedback. I think this might be a case of different tastes for different people. This one is not only sold, it sold super fast! I believe it was on the market for around 2 - 3 weeks before it was snapped up.

[@Derek-pd4fc]

Wow what an arrogant comment. What are you cruising around in fine sir? I would imagine not much.

[@harbourdogNL]

@@Derek-pd4fc Not cruising. The boats I spend time on are commercial fishing boats. And still better appointed.
