Kimberly Ann - KROGEN FOR SALE

KIMBERLY ANN is a 48' Krogen North Sea Widebody presenting a sought-after three-stateroom, two-head plan and stands as the latest example on the market offered in this three-cabin configuration. This rare arrangement delivers a breadth of flexibility beyond the typical two-stateroom layout. The extra cabin adds two more berths for family, friends, or crew. When sleeping space isn’t required, it readily converts to tidy storage, a craft or office nook, or a perfect spot for luggage and oversized cruising equipment. Equally important, this adaptability is achieved without sacrificing the comfort of the starboard guest stateroom.

For the modern cruiser, this layout elevates liveaboard comfort and day-to-day practicality, making KIMBERLY ANN an ideal long-range trawler yacht for extended passagemaking or hosting larger groups aboard. She has enjoyed conscientious care under three dedicated owners. Her original owners outfitted her for full-time Caribbean bluewater cruising and maintained her to rigorous standards. The second custodians broadened her cruising resume along the Atlantic seaboard, through the Florida Keys, and into the Bahamas, preserving that same high level of care and meticulous upkeep. The present owners have continued this strong stewardship while savoring local cruising and gracious entertaining in the Carolinas.

Overview

KIMBERLY ANN is a 48-foot Krogen North Sea Widebody showcasing a desirable three-cabin, two-head layout and is currently the latest model available on the market in this three-cabin configuration. This arrangement delivers a level of versatility not found in the standard two-cabin plan, as the additional cabin provides two extra berths for family, guests, or crew and, when not required for accommodation, serves equally well as convenient storage space, a hobby room, or an ideal area for luggage and larger cruising gear. Just as importantly, this flexibility comes without compromising the comfort of the starboard guest cabin. For today’s cruiser, the result is enhanced livability and practicality, making KIMBERLY ANN especially well-suited for extended voyaging or hosting many guests aboard.

Her pedigree of care is exemplary, having been thoughtfully maintained by three resolute owners. The first owners outfitted her for full-time Caribbean cruising and upheld exacting standards throughout. The second owners expanded her cruising footprint along the Atlantic coast, through the Florida Keys, and into the Bahamas while sustaining the same meticulous maintenance. The current owners have continued this strong stewardship while enjoying local cruising and entertaining in the Carolinas.

Purpose-built for distance and comfort, she features the rare three-cabin, two-head Krogen 48 configuration; long-range capability supported by TRAC stabilizers and a flopper stopper system; a John Deere single-engine power package complemented by a Key Power hydraulic get-home system; and bow and stern thrusters for confident maneuvering. Autonomy at anchor is bolstered by a 1,000 GPD watermaker, a Northern Lights generator, and dual inverter/chargers, while a fuel polishing system and a dedicated oil change system streamline ongoing maintenance. With a proven Caribbean, Bahamas, and East Coast cruising history, KIMBERLY ANN stands in exceptional condition and is unequivocally ready for extended cruising.

Construction

Crafted from high‑grade female tooling, the hull and superstructure take form with precision and durability at their core. The hull benefits from USA‑made Cook® gelcoat and a hand‑laid Knytex® fiberglass laminate, with a closed‑cell PVC sandwich core in the topsides for strength without excess weight. Below the waterline, the structure is solid fiberglass, engineered with blister‑resistant vinylester resin in the first two laminates and fortified with Kevlar® reinforcements. The superstructure employs an end‑grain balsa core and surface mats to reduce print‑through, ensuring a flawless finish that endures.

Teak aft and side decks elevate the exterior with timeless warmth, while the boat deck and foredecks feature a GripTex® non‑skid finish for confident footing. The bulwarks are detailed with molded plank lines and a gel coat finish, blending classic styling with modern fabrication.

Polyurethane‑formulated marine sealants are meticulously applied at the hull‑to‑deck and boat deck joints and around exterior fittings for long‑lasting integrity. Structural robustness continues inside with marine‑grade plywood bulkheads and molded fiberglass hat‑section stringers, complemented by interior finishes of teak veneer walls and cabinetry sealed in a refined satin varnish.

Saloon

Bright, open, and inviting, the saloon aboard KIMBERLY ANN welcomes you from the fully covered aft deck through double aluminum weather-tight doors. Designed for comfort and enjoyment, it blends timeless yacht styling with a warm, airy ambiance. A free-standing teak hi/low table creates a versatile setting for dining or entertaining, while two Ekornes Stressless chairs invite effortless relaxation. Natural ventilation flows through three sliding screened windows, complemented by a Phantom retractable screen at the aft cockpit doors. Custom-fitted carpeting softens every step and lifts away to reveal the rich teak flooring that extends throughout the interior. As the final 48-foot model built with the traditional molded headliner and teak accents, KIMBERLY ANN embodies the classic craftsmanship and interior character expected of a proper yacht.

Galley

The U-shaped galley sits just forward of the saloon on the starboard side, appointed with stainless-steel appliances and generous granite countertops that invite effortless meal preparation. Ventilation and natural light are provided by a sliding window with screen, while directly opposite a teak bookcase/bar with a matching granite countertop is complemented by a 12-inch round opening portlight with screen. Culinary equipment includes a GE 16-cubic-foot stainless-steel refrigerator/freezer, a GE microwave/convection oven vented to the exterior, a Force 10 three-burner propane range with sea rails, a Miele dishwasher, and a Raritan ice maker, all supported by a Seagull water filtration system serving both the ice maker and the galley sink.

Master stateroom

The master stateroom centers on a queen-sized island berth with abundant storage below, complemented by three hanging lockers and generous drawer space. Excellent headroom amplifies the sense of openness, while four opening portlights with screens and two large opening overhead hatches bathe the space in natural light and invite a refreshing breeze. The absence of spray rails and chines forward ensures tranquil nights at anchor. The ensuite head is appointed with a separate stall shower, a Sealand VacuFlush freshwater head, a vanity with a granite countertop, and two opening portlights with screens.

Starboard guest stateroom

The starboard guest stateroom is appointed with a full-sized fore-and-aft fixed berth, complemented by a fold-down Pullman berth and a fold-down desk to offer adaptable sleeping and workspace flexibility. Thoughtful storage is provided by a chest of drawers, under-berth storage, an overhead bookshelf, and a hanging locker, while ventilation is assured by two opening portlights with screens.

Port Guest Stateroom

As a three-stateroom model, KIMBERLY ANN offers a dedicated port guest stateroom designed for comfortable overnight stays. This inviting cabin is appointed with upper and lower berths, ample drawer storage, a hanging locker, and two opening portlights that bathe the space in natural light and invite refreshing sea breezes.

Guest head

Positioned to starboard, the guest head features a separate stall shower, a Sealand VacuFlush freshwater head, a vanity with a granite countertop, and an opening portlight with screen for light and ventilation.

Pilothouse

The raised pilothouse aboard KIMBERLY ANN delivers the elevated perspective and unmistakable, authoritative presence that make this style of trawler so desirable, and it is conceived for far more than navigation underway, serving equally well as an inviting gathering space for morning coffee, casual meals, or relaxed conversation while enjoying the view. An L-shaped settee provides an excellent vantage point and a comfortable dining area while cruising, and it converts to a double berth for guests or a generous single watch berth during extended passages. At the helm, a Pompanette Platinum Series leather captain’s chair, a dedicated electronics area, expansive North Sea angled windows, and outstanding sightlines together create a comfortable and highly functional command station for both captain and crew. Natural airflow is abundant through Dutch aluminum weather-tight doors to port and starboard, overhead screened hatches, opening side windows with screens, and two screened portlights.

Electronics

Aboard KIMBERLY ANN, the electronics suite is a fully integrated NMEA 2000 environment anchored by Furuno NavNet 3D and comprehensive Maretron monitoring software, delivering seamless situational awareness from helm to flybridge. In the pilothouse, three custom nineteen-inch rimless “Glass Bridge” display screens present an integrated Furuno navigation platform driven by the NavNet 3D black box system and HUB-101, while a Furuno DFF1 depth sounder, FA-50 two‑way AIS, and a GP‑320B GPS receiver provide precise data feeds. Long‑range clarity is assured by the Furuno NavNet 3D Ultra High Definition six‑kilowatt, four‑foot open‑array radar, complemented by dual heading sensors—Furuno PG‑700 and Simrad RC‑42—for rock‑steady course information. Command is effortless with a Simrad AP28 autopilot featuring a remote control for bow operation, and onboard visibility is enhanced by two engine room cameras and one aft deck day/night camera, all networked across the fully integrated NMEA 2000 backbone.

Communications and vessel intelligence are equally robust, featuring two Standard Horizon GX5000S VHF radios supported by remote microphones on the flybridge, plus a Standard Horizon VLH‑3000 hailer/horn for clear external announcements. The integrated Maretron NMEA 2000 monitoring and display system is powered by a dedicated Windows PC—new in 2025—with a backup battery pack, running Maretron N2K Server and Client software and linked through a Maretron IPG100 HUB. Critical performance and environment data are captured by an Airmar WS‑220WX weather station, a Maretron J2K100 John Deere main engine monitor, an Airmar DST200 NMEA 2000 depth, speed, and temperature sensor, and a Maretron rudder angle monitor. Night operations benefit from an ACR RCL‑100D spotlight with full control, while a Furuno DRS4W wireless radar dome adds flexible auxiliary radar capability. Entertainment and connectivity are covered by a Sonos 250‑watt amplifier driving pilothouse speakers and a Wi‑Fi system with router for reliable onboard networking.

On the flybridge, a Furuno NavNet MFD12 chart plotter mirrors and displays all Furuno system data, fully networked to the Furuno hub and the NMEA 2000 system so radar, engine, and depth information are always at hand. Redundancy is built in with a backup GP‑320B GPS receiver, and precision steering continues topside with a Simrad AP24 autopilot. Spotlight control is duplicated for convenience, and safety readiness is underscored by an ACR EPIRB RLB‑36 Category One unit, completing a flawlessly integrated electronics and communications package designed for confident passagemaking.

Engine room and mechanical

At the heart of the machinery space, a Tier II John Deere® 6068 TFM delivers 201 hp at 2600 rpm through a Twin Disc® 3.0:1 ratio gear, with 6550 hours displayed, and is backed by a Key Power hydraulic get-home drive with manual operation from the engine room. Motion is tamed by ABT TRAC digital hydraulic stabilizers, while close-quarters authority comes from an ABT hydraulic bow thruster and a Side-Power electric stern thruster, each with pilothouse and flybridge controls.

Fuel is managed via dual Racor® filters with a vacuum gauge and an ESI fuel polishing system, feeding a driveline built around an Aquamet® shaft of 2" diameter, a Tides® dripless shaft seal new in 2025 with two spare seals in the shaft carrier, and a four-bladed bronze propeller measuring 32" in diameter with 21" pitch, guarded by a Spurs line cutter and a stainless-steel rudder protected by a shoe. Safety and service are elevated by four bilge pumps, each rated at 2,000 gallons per hour, a high-water bilge alarm with exterior sounder, Hynautic® hydraulic steering and Hynautic® hydraulic engine controls at two stations, a Reverso oil change system, and an automatic fire suppression system. Freshwater autonomy is assured by a Spectra “Newport” 1000 gpd watermaker, which is currently pickled; the buyer may need to replace the membrane.

Electrical

The upgraded electrical system aboard KIMBERLY ANN has been meticulously engineered to deliver efficient charging, extended battery life, and unwavering onboard power management. At its core is a Northern Lights 12kW generator with PTO, sound shield, and Racor filter showing 3,560 hours, complemented by a Balmar 270-amp alternator to ensure strong replenishment under way. The Lifeline GPL-16T house battery bank, new in 2024, provides 1,200 amp-hours of capacity, while dedicated Lifeline GPL-8DL and GPL-4DL batteries serve engine and generator starting, respectively. Power conversion and charging are handled by two Magnum MS2812 inverter/chargers that operate independently for inversion yet can be combined for faster charging, with system insight delivered by a Maretron DCM100 battery monitor and two Magnum ME-BMK battery monitoring kits. Automation and shore-power protection are enhanced by a Magnum ME-AGS-N automatic generator start module, a Newmar GI50 galvanic isolator, and an Acme Electric isolation transformer, while cable handling is made effortless by a Glendinning Cablemaster.

Additional components

This yacht is comprehensively outfitted, beginning with a four-zone CruiseAir® DX reverse-cycle air conditioning system and a GE Spacemaker washer/dryer, complemented by a dockside water pressure regulator and two Headhunter Mach 5 120V freshwater pumps supplying a Raritan 20-gallon water heater. Convenience and capability extend topside with a transom hot/cold freshwater shower and a MarQuipt Tenderlift Classic 1000 hydraulic power rotating davit, while ground tackle is confidently handled by a Rocna 88 lb anchor and a Delta Fast Set 88 lb anchor, both driven by a Maxwell 2200 anchor windlass with wildcat and gypsy and accessed through a Freeman foredeck chain locker hatch, with raw-water anchor washdown ready at hand. Stability is enhanced by a Flopper Stopper, and thoughtful details include a locking lazarette with custom storage shelves and fishing rod holders, canvas covers for bow seating and the flybridge, a safe, and full Coast Guard safety equipment. For added peace of mind, a backup electric cooling pump provides hydraulic system redundancy.
