The semi displacement trawler at 18 metres brings together two complementary concepts: the fuel-efficient, range-focused character of the trawler and the speed flexibility of the semi displacement hull. This combination creates a cruising yacht that can cover long distances economically while retaining the ability to increase pace when the situation calls for it.
The Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 combines luxury and long-distance cruising capabilities, making it an ideal choice for avid explorers seeking comfort and reliability at sea.
Semi displacement hulls extend the trawler concept further
An 18 metre semi displacement trawler offers the best attributes of both hull forms. At displacement speeds, the yacht delivers the impressive range and gentle motion that trawler owners value. When a weather window opens or a scheduling need arises, the hull can be pushed to semi planing speeds for faster passages. This dual capability makes the semi displacement trawler one of the most practical and adaptable yacht configurations available at this length.
Flexible Passage Making
Cruise economically or press on when time matters
The 18 metre semi displacement trawler excels at the kind of cruising where plans evolve with the weather and the mood. A leisurely morning departure can become a brisk afternoon passage if conditions favour it, all without changing vessel. The trawler superstructure provides excellent visibility from the helm, generous interior volume and the purposeful aesthetic that signals a yacht designed for serious use rather than show.
