Zeus - MARINE TRADER FOR SALE

1990 Marine Trader 47 Tradewinds Cockpit Motor Yacht presents a refined, well-proven platform for the Great Loop and serious extended cruising. Driven by twin 375 hp Caterpillar diesels showing under 2,045 hours and supported by an 8 kW Onan generator with approximately 1,640 hours, she delivers steadfast performance, impressive range, and effortless close-quarters control thanks to dual helm stations—flybridge and lower—plus a Side-Power bow thruster.

Her welcoming two-stateroom, two-head arrangement centers around a bright, open salon with large windows, a galley-down layout, and a convertible dinette for added flexibility. A full-beam aft owner’s suite anchors the accommodations with a private ensuite and a Splendide washer/dryer, while wide side decks and a protected sundeck elevate comfort underway and at anchor, making her an elegant liveaboard and long-distance cruiser.

Thoughtfully equipped with tri-zone air conditioning, this cockpit motor yacht blends the economy and range of a trawler with the space and poise of an aft-cabin flybridge cruiser. The combination of upper and lower helms, easy walkarounds, and practical systems create a confident, enjoyable experience for a couple or family. A standout Great Loop candidate and versatile powerboat for coastal passages, river adventures, and seasonal migrations, she embodies the balance of luxury, utility, and reliability sought in premium cruising yachts.

Forward, two stainless steel line chocks, an electric windlass with a Bruce anchor, a stainless steel sampson post, and a teak bow pulpit are framed by a robust stainless steel bow rail and a rub rail with a stainless steel insert. A stainless steel fender rack carries six fenders, and a Textilene windshield cover stands ready when at rest.

The sundeck is appointed with two aft stainless steel cleats and two deck chairs around a folding teak table, all beneath a hardtop with overhead lighting and overhead rod storage. Thoughtful flow continues via a companionway door to the salon and a separate door to the flybridge, with teak doors leading to port and starboard walkways and teak safety rails with a lower enclosure. The wet bar features a sink with faucet, storage above and below, and a Frigidaire wine cooler. Atop the sundeck, perimeter stainless steel grab rails encircle tender-handling gear that includes a tender crane and tender davits. In the cockpit, two opening port lights brighten the aft stateroom, two stainless steel items add utility, four rod holders stand ready, and four stainless hawse cleats—one to port, one to starboard, and two on the stern—manage mooring lines.
