Broker comments

KNOT QUITTERS stands out as an easy-to-cruise pilothouse trawler that blends timeless styling with practical, modern capability; Symbol Yachts has long been admired by enthusiasts for thoughtful layouts, spacious interiors, and real-world cruising prowess, and the 45 Pilothouse remains among the most capable in her class. Her single diesel and solid semi-displacement hull deliver efficient passage speeds of about 8 knots with the ability to stretch up to 11.5 knots when desired, while hydraulic bow and stern thrusters make close-quarters maneuvering relaxed and precise. Wide walkaround decks, sturdy handrails, and thick gunwales promote safe, confident movement everywhere on board, and the combination of a practical pilothouse, a spacious flybridge, and a relaxing aft deck—all in a package under 50 ft—creates an ideal platform for serious cruisers.
