Raven - NORTHERN MARINE FOR SALE

"Raven" is a striking Northern Marine long-range expedition trawler, built to cross oceans yet simple enough for a capable two-person crew. Fastidiously maintained by an experienced captain/owner, she runs on a reliable John Deere main and carries modern upgrades throughout, from advanced electrical architecture to a premium electronics suite. Elegantly appointed and designed with safe walk-around side decks, she also features a welcoming flybridge for sunlit passages. The 5700 Expedition arrangement suits cruising couples beautifully, with private guest quarters forward. With a 3,000-mile range, she inspires confidence for bluewater, worldwide passagemaking. "Raven" turns heads wherever she goes and embodies the spirit of a luxury trawler yacht, explorer motor yacht, and true long-range cruising yacht.

Features and upgrades

Thoughtful upgrades elevate this long-range trawler to true explorer motor yacht standards, beginning with a 2016 AB 12VSX RIB tender driven by a 30 hp Honda outboard (approximately $13K), a brand-new full exhaust system, and a new Dometic A/C compressor serving the VIP. A brand-new Furuno electronics package brings digital radar, autopilot, GPS, CHIRP sounder, compass and more, joined by a new Speco color day/night bullet marine camera with IR LEDs and a new SIONYX Nightwave ultra low-light marine camera. The entire battery bank was replaced in 2021, accompanied by one new MB AC pump the same year and a new raw-water pump. Cruising self-sufficiency is enhanced by a new Express XT 950 modular 230V water maker and a new Frigidaire refrigerator (2022), while a new anchor chain and a new Viking eight-passenger life raft add bluewater confidence. Fresh bottom paint was applied in December 2022 and again in October 2023, and a new inverter, a Tidal Wave MSD system, and all-LED fixtures in the engine room underscore reliable, efficient operation. Practical details include a new plug and umbilical for the davit, an Airmar N2K backbone supporting two new Airmar B258 transducers, six new fire extinguishers alongside the Fireboy fire-suppression system, plus a new forty-inch VIZIO TV with Samsung soundbar, an Aigean LD-7000AC single-dome high-power dual-band Wi-Fi receiver, and a TP-Link AC4000 Wi‑Fi router.

Accommodations

The salon is inviting and practical, entered via a rugged Diamond Sea Glaze dogged door, with the owner’s main stateroom enjoying a private entry off the salon and a king-size Tempur‑Pedic mattress for true liveaboard comfort. Forward of the salon, the well-equipped galley is smartly arranged for passagemaking, while the beautiful pilothouse ahead features twin Diamond Sea Glaze side doors for easy access to either deck. An off-watch berth provides a safe, quiet place to rest underway, and a separate forward entrance leads to the guest stateroom fitted with a queen-size Tempur‑Pedic mattress for gracious accommodations at anchor or at sea.

Deck

On deck, a hydraulic anchor windlass works in concert with a Rocna anchor and fresh chain for secure holding, while stern controls make docking precise and stress-free. The exterior is beautifully faired and low maintenance, complemented by safe walk-around side decks that suit an expedition trawler and passagemaker. An EPIRB and comprehensive safety equipment round out a deck plan designed for confident bluewater cruising.

Electrical

Power systems are configured for quiet, efficient operation offshore: a seventeen‑kilowatt Onan generator with hydraulic take‑off pairs with a five‑kilowatt Panda genset, feeding a Victron MultiPlus inverter through a power transformer and smart charger, with a high‑output engine alternator supporting the house loads. Recent AGM batteries underpin the system, delivering dependable energy for modern cruising.

Electronics

Navigation and entertainment are comprehensive, with Simrad autopilot, Simrad windspeed and depth sounders, and Furuno NAVNET complemented by Furuno radar and plotter for crisp situational awareness. Icom SSB and Icom VHF keep communications professional, while jog steering and a backup camera aid handling, and a Samsung soundbar brings rich audio to the salon.

Galley

The galley is designed for serious cruising, featuring a GE Profile stove and oven, a Frigidaire refrigerator new in 2022, elegant granite countertops, and a quiet, efficient Miele dishwasher—practical luxury for life aboard.

Engine

Power comes from a 2004 John Deere PowerTech 8.1L inline six‑cylinder turbocharged diesel rated at 330 hp, mated to a 2F Hurth Marine transmission for robust, economical propulsion. A hydraulic get‑home feature provides approximately six knots, with electronic controls, an automatic oil‑change system, and fuel polishing simplifying ownership. The sea chest reduces the number of through‑hulls, while the stand‑up, well‑lit engine room includes a full workbench and spares for virtually all equipment. Water independence is assured by a Sea Recovery watermaker rated at 600 GPD, complementing the new Express XT 950 modular 230V water maker, and a marine sanitation system completes a machinery space tailored for long‑range cruising.
