Is This The BEST Trawler Yacht Conversion Out There?
Ойын-сауық
When I spotted this converted trawler yacht, I just knew that I had to make a video about her. This is motor yacht Elena. A former commercial fishing vessel, built-in 1968, that now travels the world, carrying her passengers in beautifully converted surroundings. Do you think this is the best trawler yacht conversion out there?

It warms my heart that the old girl gets a second chance at the sea.
Thank you for mentioning the price! Something a lot of boat sales videos neglected
your selection has hit the peak. an ocean going deepwater trawler, owned by a 'mariner' and a naval architect who has some 'sea time' simple practical design and completely suited to her environment the correct amount of thought. well spotted JJ

@Sepi theoretically there is no reason you couldnt put sails on, but imo the boat is so heavy, and the modifications would be so extensive for proper stability, that it would make no sense to add sails. I'm not an expert on boat design and I will never claim to be, but I have done a lot of sailing and this boat would be just about the slowest sailboat in the world if you added sails
I’ve looked at Elena many times on the internet. She checks off many things I would want in a “little ship”. 👍

Her range, combined with her steel hull, steel superstructure and fuss-free interior are definitely big ✅ ‘s
Hi,now this is what I call a TRAWLER yacht,there is no comparison with her and the so called trawler yachts sailing under false flags. As a retired UK trawlerman I can appreciate her lines and what she can do.cheers Roly 🇬🇧.

Really? How about Project Brupeg in Qld? A fishing trawler of about 80 tonnes in the midst of conversion.
This is the type of Boat I would be extremely happy with...
great vessel for a good price was a Fisherman my self and sailed on vessels like this they are good and steady ships, thanks for the video.

Okay, I couldn’t NOT subscribe. I have become addicted to your reviews of these converted trawler yachts! If only I could afford one! I absolutely love the simple, clean design of the interior of this yacht. I would actually get on a vessel like this to cross an ocean. I could even see living on it full time. I can’t say that about many yachts. Both the cabins and decks offer expansive areas so you don’t feel crowded. You could do so much with all that open deck space. The views from the upper decks must be amazing. Thanks for featuring another fantastic converted yacht!
Very nice indeed
I love this boat, and know how to do all the work to restore, just don't have the money. I would love to do the same, what a classy boat.
Beautiful conversion im in awe
With the right captain, I would feel extremely safe in this vessel.
What a lovely boat!

Simple, basic accommodation, but comfortable and fit for purpose. You know that this isn’t a Med grp tart, but a seriously good seafaring vessel. A lot of modern yachts leave me a bit cold, they are just poseurs toys, but this is practical boat that would be a joy to travel on. Me being a clumsy bastard though, I’d be forever tripping going through the doors lol

Beautiful boat. Wish they would have extended the main salon some. That would have been easy to do during the conversion and extra interior space would really add to it. Overall, it's still a great boat for the money. You would be hard pressed to find anything as capable in that price range. I would bet you could even extend that main salon 8 to 10 feet or so and still have an amazing boat for the money.

If you're up against those big seas (even though you absolutely tried to avoid them), would you prefer to on this trawler conversion or on a triple priced "trawler" named boat?
This one of a select few smaller all weather M/Y's I would dare head out to sea toting my family. Appears to be much stouter than a 58 Fleming.
Just the type of boat for the West Coast of Canada.
Would love to see a mega winch on the rear...
Sounds like a great price...too bad I am poor :-)

A great way to get get a exploring yacht at a fraction of the price
Very nice boat. Still has that working boat feel though. Would have liked to see it before they converted it. 2 Things that are major pluses for me (even though I was army - sorry) is the port windows and the knee knocker hatch ways.
Pretty close to perfect.
Impressive trawler. If we bunker right now, in Denmark, it will cost 67153,38 dollar. Give or take.

Hey, if you buy a yacht/boat/vessel this size... at a comaparable reasonable prize, you might be thinking of runnng cost of around 100k a year... or so... depending on how many nm you'd cover. A fuel consumption of 6 to 7 litres per nm does indeed sound not too much. Many motor sailers of this size would slurp from 4 to 20 litres, and some luxurious motor yachts burn even more... So what!
I spent 4 1/2 years on trawlers and seiners out of Thyborøn and Grimsby.

Wow she’s a buy I’d say
just the future purchase for the 'like minded ' few with previous deepwater sea time who may consider a shared ownership
this would be GREAT, enough space to rigg up wirdsurfsails... unfortunately I dont see any bathing platform at the stern?
I want to travel aboard a vessel like this from Vancouver BC Canada to Manila Philippines
That's a hell of a lot of boat for less than a mil. Do converted commercial boats tend to go for less than equivalent purpose built boats?
a real ship.

Is this a boat or a ship? Doesn't seem to be a clearly defined distinction separating the two. Some would call it a bot. Others, a ship. However, everyone would agree it is quite the capable vessel. And, it is almost affordable. Then again, I'm only talking about the advertised asking price. I can't imagine what it would cost to operate per whatever metric one cared to apply. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap. Still, a guy can dream, eh?
is it the old brixham beamer george johanes.
this is a mans boat
nice a mere mortal can afford
1) it is not a yacht it is a nice converted fishing trawler 2) it is no an expedition vessel, an expedition vessel need 2 main engines.
One of the things I like most about trawler yachts is that they can come and go without raising eyebrows, yet can be very stylish inside. Specs say six guests and four crew. I can't find any illustrations showing the layout better.
One engine?
True bug out boat.

Watertight doors spinnaker windows. Enough said
Odd, no engine room shots. Then again single engine. A coast hugger.
Not keen on that wood effect in the bedrooms, it looks like a cheap plywood look.
Too much at 1m to buy plus crew, gas, prpvisions, maintainence ctc say another 1 mill a year. Just too much for my budgets.
Funny how the hard working class once disdained tools suddenly become objects of pride and luxury. You can bet each one of those beauties were sold by owners whose businesses have been taken down by the same people who are turning those boats into milk cows charter yachts today. At least they still have the decency not to scrape them.
