This beautifully cared-for pocket trawler is a standout Great Loop and coastal cruiser candidate, blending efficient performance with an easy-to-manage footprint.

The flybridge, complete with Bimini, offers comfortable, airy helm time in any season, while the climate-controlled cabin with air conditioning and reverse-cycle heat keeps life below decks serene. A bright, inviting salon flows to a well-appointed galley, and the cozy V-berth stateroom provides a restful retreat.

For those seeking a refined liveaboard, flybridge trawler, or Great Loop-ready cruiser, this Camano 31 delivers reliability, comfort, and smart design in a compact, fuel-sipping package—an elegant pocket yacht equally at home along the ICW or on extended coastal adventures.

Accommodations

In the welcoming salon, climate is masterfully managed by a 16,000 BTU reverse-cycle heat and air-conditioning system from Marine Air Systems with precise digital control, complemented by custom curtains and warm teak accents. A compact chart table keeps navigation tidy with both AC and DC outlets alongside phone and TV connectors. To port, smart storage abounds with drawers, a refined library with two shelves, and an L-shaped settee whose convertible table and under-seat space conceal generous stowage, further supplemented by two dedicated drawers for equipment. To starboard, the lower helm stands ready for confident piloting in all conditions.

The galley is thoroughly outfitted for gourmet cruising, featuring a three-burner propane cooktop with oven, a stainless steel sink with matching faucet, and two 110 V outlets to power small appliances. A refrigerator/freezer, classic teak-and-holly sole, and a neatly arranged spice rack elevate everyday convenience, while a propane control switch, freshwater pump, a bright portlight, a 12 V fan, and a DC outlet ensure practical, safe operation. Fire protection is at hand with a fire extinguisher, and thoughtful access is built into the sole for both the black-water holding tank and a storage locker. Cabinetry is ample with two cabinets and two drawers, and a wardrobe locker adds welcome capacity for longer passages.

In the forward stateroom, a generous V-berth with filler cushion and custom-fitted sheets promises restful nights, illuminated by two reading lamps and ventilated by an overhead hatch with screen. Organization is effortless thanks to two storage drawers beneath the berth, direct access to the anchor locker, and three under-mattress lockers providing forward access to the Vacu-Pump for the head plus dedicated port and starboard storage. Safety and comfort details include a CO detector and a convenient step stool.

The head is crisp and shipshape, anchored by a Vacu-Flush toilet with tank monitor and macerator pump, a vanity mirror, and two lower cabinets that also provide access to the macerator pump and an additional storage locker. A sink with extension nozzle, a linen locker integrated into the counter, and an over-sink door for electronics access complete a space designed for easy upkeep at sea.

Electronics

At the upper helm, fingertip control and clear situational awareness come standard. The Side-Shift stern thruster control pairs with a Raymarine “a” Series touch screen GPS/radar/chart system, guided by a Raymarine Autohelm ST6001 autopilot and a Raymarine Chirp dome radar. A Raymarine ST60 Tri-Data, a Standard Horizon Eclipse VHF radio, and a lighted Danforth compass ensure precision, while a rear-view mirror, a ship’s bell, and a Sony AM/FM radio (Bluetooth) add thoughtful finishing touches. Windlass control is right at hand for effortless anchoring from the bridge.

At the lower helm in the starboard salon, the captain’s chair faces a comprehensive suite: bow thruster control, a Side-Shift wireless remote for the stern thruster, Raymarine Ray125 DSC VHF, Raymarine touch screen GPS/chart, Raymarine ST60 Tri Data, and Raymarine ST6001 Auto Pilot. A Maxwell windlass power control switch and windlass control streamline anchoring operations, while a holding-tank macerator pump-out switch, AC and DC distribution panel, a fire extinguisher, and a lighted Danforth compass underline safety and seakeeping discipline.

Deck

Deck hardware is purposeful and abundant, with eight cleats in total—six standard plus two added—for confident mooring options. On the flybridge, four cup holders, three bucket seats with canvas covers, and four large drawers beneath the helm storage compartments foster both comfort and organization. Safety is ever-present with four adult plus one child PFDs, and the entire bridge can be fully enclosed by canvas for all-weather cruising. Electronics are smartly mounted, including a 7 ft high pole for the Raymarine Chirp radar dome and a forward radar mount. Two large ice chests, four easy-access mooring lines, and an American flag with canvas cover round out a bridge designed for extended days on the water.

Forward, anchoring is effortless and robust: a 33# claw anchor rides on 80 ft of 6 mm chain, paired with an 80' 5/8" nylon rode whose bitter end is properly secured at the hull. An anchor chain bridle stabilizes the set, powered by a Maxwell electric windlass with three control stations—on deck, at the upper helm, and at the lower helm. Dual burgee masts with canvas covers, two ready-access bow mooring lines, and a stainless steel bow rail attest to seamanlike detail. Practical touches abound, from a transom shower with hot/cold handheld in the cockpit to three windshield wipers on the forward windows and stainless steel grab rails to port and starboard.

In the cockpit, shore-tie electrical connection is straightforward with a 20 ft cable fitted with a 30 amp connector, complemented by three pigtails—20 amp to 30 amp and two 50 amp to 30 amp—so you’re ready for any marina. Two easy-throw mooring lines, port and starboard fuel-fill deck plates serving two tanks, an LP gas grill (separate, not mounted), an expandable boat pole, and two folding chairs make harbor life effortless. A 20 lbs LP tank sits safely in its locker, and rinses are a breeze with a freshwater shower; a throwable life ring with a 20' safety line adds peace of mind. There is direct access to the lazarette and to the port and starboard gangways leading to the bow, plus port and starboard scuppers and lighting. Two spare mooring lines, a cockpit bimini top, a swim ladder at the swim platform, line and fender storage in the transom, a stainless steel ladder to the flybridge, and a transom door complete a truly practical cockpit.

Within the lazarette, a spare anchor with rode stands by, a pulley system assists with heavy items, and clean access to the rudder gear simplifies maintenance.

Engine room

Beneath the decks, mechanicals are cleanly laid out for reliability and access. Power comes from a 6 kW Northern Lights Generator M673L3G with under 20 hours, feeding ship’s systems through robust sea strainers and safeguarded by a dripless shaft seal and dependable bilge pumps. Fuel is well managed via two tanks with dual switchable Racor fuel filters, ensuring clean delivery in any sea state. House power is ample with four West Marine maintenance‑free deep‑cycle batteries rated at 105 amp‑hours each, complemented by one West Marine maintenance‑free deep‑cycle 105 amp‑hour starting battery and a capable battery charger to keep the bank topped up.

Exclusions

Dinghy, outboard, and the owner’s personal items are not included in the sale.
