Bear Necessity is a classically styled trawler perfectly suited for an owner/operator to long range cruise. The current owner has spared no expense over the course of the last 15 years to ensure she has always been kept in tip top condition and she represents the finest example of a 65 Grand Alaskan on the market. In 2017 Bear Necessity had an extensive refit to ensure she will be turn key for her next owner.
Some of Bear Necessity's notable features are a spacious cockpit for fishing and diving, a day head off the salon and a movie theatre on the flybridge.
