Overview

Spacious and Comfortable Performance Trawler 

This Defever Is In Great Condition!

 

Arthur Defever designed the 47' Performance Offshore Cruiser with a semi-displacement hull that allows her to reach speeds that most trawlers cannot attain.  She can be cruised at a respectable 7-8 knots when fuel savings are essential or speed up to 15 knots when you have a schedule to keep. 

Vera Kate is a galley up, three stateroom, three head layout.  Her four level design would make a fantastic liveaboard, with plenty of storage and room for friends and family.  Her massive sundeck and flybridge offer unparalleled outdoor living space. 

She has been properly maintained and offers a tremendous value to those looking for a spacious liveaboard cruiser with a build quality synonymous with Defever Yachts.
