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?

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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?
