– Spacious living spaces
– Fuel-efficient at lower speeds
Hopefully, this article has provided some ideas and examples of what your best Great Loop boat might be. Beyond a few hard limitations, it’s a matter of taste and style. There’s no right or wrong answer–you’ll often see many unexpected vessels doing the Loop.
If you’re considering the Loop, check out the America’s Great Loop Cruisers Association for more details.
There’s no set size limit for length, but all boats looking to complete the Loop must pass under a low fixed bridge in the Chicago area. If your boat is more than 19 feet, 6 inches above the water, thou shall not pass.
Some people have reported that boats as long as 70 feet have completed the Loop. But taking a vessel of this size is not recommended, as you must navigate numerous tight locks and low bridges along the route. Most Loopers choose boats less than 50 feet long.
The smallest boat is the one that you’re comfortable on. Jet skis have completed the Loop, but they’re limited to staying in hotels or camping. It’s best to have a boat that will be comfortable to live on for the better part of a year. Most people want a boat at least 35 feet long to do that.
Most cruisers take about a year to do the Loop. Several factors affect this plan, and it’s always an individual choice. Generally, you’ll be northbound in the spring to be westbound through the Great Lakes in the summer. Then you “fall down” the rivers in the autumn so that you can over-winter in Florida. But many people take breaks, leave their boats in storage, and complete the Loop in sections. Furthermore, many folks want to take their time and enjoy the scenery. It’s not a race, after all.

He currently lives aboard a 38-foot Cabo Rico sailboat with his wife Lucy and adventure dog Chelsea. Together, they cruise between winters in The Bahamas and summers in the Chesapeake Bay.

I spoke with one of our brokers last week and we got around to talking about couples looking for a trawler yacht to live aboard. It is a well-worn topic of discussion on many of the trawler forums, as people dream about combining their love of boats and the water with their “regular” life.
I suspect anyone who enjoys cruising has pondered this on occasion. What would it be like to live on a boat full time, balancing the romance of living on the water with the realities of a job, career, and the rest of life “back in the world?”
I will say at the outset that in all likelihood there is an ideal liveaboard for you. Granted, the word “ideal” implies “perfect” and that doesn’t really apply to any boat. However, if one honestly evaluates one’s situation and liveaboard needs, in all probability there is at least one yacht that matches those requirements perfectly, or close enough to be considered an ideal liveaboard.
Given the inevitable compromises, my short list of ideal liveaboard trawlers would now include:
There is, of course, some latitude as to what constitutes “living aboard.” I have a friend with a house in Annapolis , yet he and his wife go down to Hopetown in the Bahamas every winter for six months to live on their sailboat during the winter. They are living aboard during that time for sure, even if it is not their full-time, year-round home.
On the flip side, I know people who have only one home, their boat, and they live full time in Boston Harbor. Every fall the liveaboards on their dock wrap their boats in opaque plastic sheeting to keep the boats relatively warm during the winter months. The water on the dock is turned off, and they also need to deal with pumping out holding tanks. But living on the water more than makes up for the obvious inconveniences.
(Below: A group of Krogen trawler owners tie up together.)
I know other couples who lived for several years at a marina on the coast of Connecticut, and they, too, enjoyed the experience and lifestyle. Boat living can be found in many places, and the quality of life during the boating season more than makes up for the down time when it is not quite as romantic.
A friend came up with a concept some years ago about what he calls the two types of boaters: the “Movers” and the “Stayers.” The movers are always cruising and never put down roots. That title aptly describes a couple on an older Grand Banks who always seem on the move. They have a land home in Southern California, yet in all the years I’ve known them, they never leave their Grand Banks. It is their home.
There are also dozens of other cruisers, especially here on the East Coast, who take off after the fall boat shows in Annapolis, and head down to Florida on their trawlers. Some eventually arrive in Marathon in the Florida Keys, as one destination, and settle in for the winter, the trawler never leaving the dock until the following spring. They are stayers for sure, as they live on their boat, but only move when it is to their next place of semi-permanent residence. And this cycle continues, year after year, until some life change happens, or they burn out.
I’ve lived on a boat several times in my lifetime, and each time it took place at a time and place where it was not only attractive but utterly doable. Working in downtown Seattle made it easy to live on Lake Union or even Lake Washington, not to mention the nearby marinas on Bainbridge Island. A quick ferry trip to the downtown area is a wonderful way to start the day, especially compared to sitting in traffic crossing one of the bridges from Bellevue or Kirkland.
In Annapolis, I lived for a time at City Dock, in Spa Creek and the heart of downtown. Later, I was one of the residents on F Dock at a marina on Back Creek, a liveaboard dock in a marina where we all got to be friends and look out for one another. During one hurricane’s storm surge, we had an all-day-and-night dock party. As the waters from the storm surge came in, we kept adjusting our dock lines. It was fun to share the experience of seeing the dock go a foot then two under water, dock lines running down and disappearing into the water. Ah, the good old days.
(Below: Friends gather on the cockpit of a Nimbus 405 at a marina. It's common to become friends with other boaters docked in the same place.)
I’ve had similarly unique experiences while living aboard in Florida and New Jersey, each with its own issues, such as having to gang up weekly all water hoses during the winter months to refill our water tanks, as the water on the dock was shut off until spring. Yup, definitely a unique experience.
And getting one’s holding tanks pumped out also comes with challenges, depending on season and location. Sometimes it is best to use the marina facilities when it is off season, while more and more waterfront towns offer seasonal mobile pump out services run by the harbormaster.
Let’s look at some of the subjective criteria of what might be important to you thinking of a liveaboard trawler. I can’t count the number of times at a boat show I’ve heard someone remark to a spouse or friend, “Now, I could live on this boat!” I’m sure we have all said that at one time or another.
Keep in mind each of these points must be considered in the context of one’s situation, which will vary from person to person. But it is a worthy discussion for anyone planning this lifestyle change.
So, just what to consider for a trawler (or for that matter, any boat, sail or power) as a potential full-time home? On one hand we may be talking about people who are retired, Jimmy Buffet types who can get by just fine with a couple of cut off jeans and a handful of faded t-shirts, and a sweatshirt or two for a wardrobe. And this goes all the way to the other end of the spectrum, professionals who commute to work each day, or work from the boat much of the time.
Some people may be active members of the community, with interests other than boating, and have friends and relatives they entertain on a regular basis. Many people have cars or some form of transportation other than a couple of rusty bicycles chained to a nearby piling.
These people may be a small family that goes south in the winter months and return in the spring to resume work at seasonal jobs they enjoy and find fulfilling. Or they may be like one couple I knew, both doctors, one a surgeon, who live very well indeed on their large Seaton trawler yacht that gives them their downtown waterfront experience, with vacations on the boat up to British Columbia.
Accessibility—The Quality/Convenience of Being Easy to Use
Not all boats are a good match for one’s home dock or pier. While it may seem obvious to mention this, but the simple act of getting on and off the boat should be easy. In places where floating docks rule, a boat with side access, such as a side gate into the aft cockpit, is ideal for stepping up and aboard from a floating dock.
But the rest of us must contend with tides and other issues when dealing with fixed docks. So, unless there are several ways of boarding, depending on height factors between dock and boat, this can become, at the very least, inconvenient. If you have a dog, and the boat is not always lined up with the home dock, it can be a nightmare assisting a large or ailing dog on and off the boat. And having to deal with this on a regular basis gets old quickly. Some boats make it easy to deal with. Swim platforms, side doors in cockpit and side deck, even side door access to the Portuguese bridge. (That is particulalrly appreciated in dramatic tidal regions, such as Nova Scotia.)
And consider carrying groceries, pets, clothes from the cleaners, luggage, or other things that are heavy or unwieldy. It really helps if one’s home dock accommodates the boat.
Now let’s add weather to the access consideration. What about when there is a light dusting of snow on the dock…or inches? Early morning frost can become a safety issue. Many trawlers do not have the protection of covered side decks or cockpit to help shield people from getting wet when it is raining. The covered cockpits on some boats, such as the Grand Banks Europa, Krogen yachts, Hampton Endurance , and Northwest Yachts , are so much better to deal with than boats that ensure you are dripping wet until safely inside the boat, along with soggy grocery bags.
(Below: A Meridian Sedan Bridge with cockpit and bridge coverings.)
On the many trawler designs that follow the Grand Banks Classic style, there is no protection from the elements whatsoever. If it is raining, you must step aboard in the rain, transfer your groceries and packages aboard, in the rain, and then put them inside the boat, while the rain pours inside the boat from the open doorway. That is not high on my list of acceptable qualities.
Open to the World—Let the Sun Shine In
One pet peeve of mine involves all the battle wagon trawlers that look like they are ready to tackle Cape Horn. They have dogged doors, sealed windows, and lack any form of ventilation besides the onboard HVAC. It is a shame to buy a trawler for a home and not be able to open to fresh air when the weather is nice.
Walking the docks at boat shows on a beautiful day and seeing trawlers running air conditioning because no hatches or windows can be opened, seems counter to how I want to live on a boat.
To me, the joy of living aboard is being part of the outside world, such as when the breeze is warm, and the smell of fresh evergreens and flowers is in the air. I only wish I could invite you aboard our power catamaran and let you take a shower in the master stateroom head. Located in the bow of the starboard hull, with the large overhead hatch open, was the most delicious experience. When we were on the Gulf Coast of Florida, tropical breezes would surround you while taking a shower, with great water pressure and the sun shining down on you. It was hands down one of the most enjoyable and liberating experiences on a boat. It simply does not get any better than that. My friends with a Fleming motoryacht remind me of this all the time.
Opening the boat in nice weather and sunny skies is a delightful aspect of living on a boat. With the pilothouse doors open, any forward hatches and ports open, and the saloon windows and door open into the aft cockpit, it is a very pleasant experience. Even if one lives in the Pacific Northwest, if your boat has covered side decks and a covered cockpit that keeps the spring rain out when you have the boat open, this is healthy and good for the soul.
Living Spaces—Room to Live
Most traditional trawler yachts had few choices where one can sit down and relax. That space is usually on the saloon settee, the only place to sit and read a book or cruising guide, pay bills, eat meals, and take apart a faulty autopilot head. After three months of living on our 36-foot Downeast cruiser, I tired of having only one place to sit. Nap, read, work on the computer, eat meals, talk with family on the phone, visit with other boaters who stop by, and many other activities. It made an impression for the future.
Some trawlers have a pilothouse, some with chart tables, so there is often a place to use as a kind of desk. One can sit comfortably, use the laptop or tablet, have devices not far away (perhaps a printer in a locker), and take care of business without having to transform other spaces for this purpose.
For me, having a comfortable and quiet place to work and write is an important requirement and would drive part of my boat selection process. This may not be as important to you.
I think having dedicated seating is a good thing, such as the Ekornes chair in the saloon, reserved for reading and/or taking a nap.
I also like the ability to make the bed without crazy gymnastics. Being able to make one’s bed in the morning is not just a feel-good thing. Crumpled bed sheets on corner berths drives my wife crazy, when the only way to properly make the bed is to climb aboard and attempt to pull sheets and blankets flat when you are laying on them is difficult.
I used to love to stretch out on the watch berth while reading in the pilothouse. At anchor or at the dock, the pilothouse was a good place to get away and chill out to get quiet time to read a book.
The Galley—Not Just for Heating Up Cans of Soup
When you live aboard, making meals should become one of the joys of the daily routine. If it is a chore, it won’t be enjoyed very much and the meals—and crew—will suffer.
When I consider how I might live on a trawler at this stage of my life, I think of the things I use regularly enough to have them stay on the counter. The coffee grinder comes to mind, as does the electric kettle and French Press. It would be a pain if I had to pull these things out of a cabinet or locker every morning. I have no problem storing other appliances away for occasionally use, such as the toaster, food processor, or popcorn popper.
I don’t think I would skimp on the number and shape of knives in the galley. I don’t need lots of knives, but again, I don’t want to just get by. The right knife makes light work of preparing food in the kitchen or galley. They are important to me.
This past holiday I baked Christmas cookies for the first time in quite awhile. I wonder if I would do that living on a trawler? I may stop short of carrying a large pastry board to roll out the dough, and I doubt a rolling pin, set of cookie cutters, and other galley tools can be justified just to make gingerbread cookies once a year. It is all about understanding the big picture and making reasoned choices.
The obvious solution to the above holiday scenario is to make a date at a friend’s house to cook Christmas cookies together and make it a social event at their home. You avoid the mess on your boat but get to enjoy the holiday fun. Bring them a good bottle of wine.
I would want a dishwasher on my trawler this time around. I know that many of the smaller modern dishwashers use less water than doing dishes manually and washing dishes by hand is too much like camping to me now. Sorry, call me an old guy. But I like running the dishwasher and having everything squeaky clean. I see more and more trawlers coming with dishwashers, so I know it is not just me. Sure, on a 34-foot boat this may not be possible, but on a larger trawler it can usually be accommodated.
(Below: Luxury liveaboard boats, like this Krogen, have very well-equipped galleys.)
Since I use an oven at home most every day, my galley would need to have a nice stove and oven. The oven is not a luxury to me.
While we’re thinking about the ideal liveaboard situation, I would also like a really powerful exhaust fan in the galley. While it is invigorating to smell bacon in the morning, I don’t care for an odor that lingers and mixes with other kitchen smells all day. A clean galley includes the air.
Storage—The Bugaboo of Every Boat
The subject of storage is perhaps too long to cover at one time. But some key things to mention will bring up scores of other thoughts.
How do you bring groceries from the car to the boat? Like many cruisers and liveaboards already know, it is handy to have a cart of some kind to transport bags and packages. How does it work on the boat/dock, and where do we store it when it isn’t being used? Does it fit somewhere in the cockpit, or does it live in the car’s trunk?
What about consumables we regularly use? It is nice to have a pantry or linen closet somewhere, so when a box of Kleenex in the saloon is empty, it is no big deal to pull out a new one. That is not the case if the supply of boxes is buried behind settee cushions under paper towels and toilet paper.
What about the land things we still use? How about bicycles, and what about our hobbies and other non-boating interests and hobbies? I am into photography, so where do I keep my gear? I don’t develop my own film anymore, so I don’t need any of that paraphernalia, but a camera bag needs a place where it is readily accessible. And if digital images need to be processed in the computer, if all I have is the saloon table that is not going to be a good solution at all.
What about musical instruments, such as a guitar or keyboard? Or quilting and sewing, or camping gear, or whatever. Is there a good place to store it all on the boat and then easily pull it out when the mood strikes? Or is there some better place for all of it off the boat?
If I go skeet shooting, where can I store a shotgun on the boat and where will it also make sense to clean the gun when I return to the boat? I would think a workbench of some kind in the engine room might be ideal, assuming it is roomy enough to move around, is well lit, and doesn’t smell like an old, leaky engine room.
What about your off-season clothes? Is there a good place to store them without damage? Again, no big deal if this isn’t the only residence or we’re living a more relaxed lifestyle down in the islands for several months, but what if it is our only home?
The storage on many trawler yachts consists of large spaces behind, under, and around other furniture and structures. Is it usable, practical, and safe for what is stored? A large bin for off-season clothes may be great and out of sight, but not if it must be routinely moved around to get access to thrusters or stabilizers. Or eventually develop smells that make them unwearable.
(Below: The interior of this Novatec 55 has lots of cabinets and storage opportunities throughout the boat.)
And what about if you have an extensive wardrobe? If one needs to have more than a blazer or sport coat while living on the boat, it is not going to be easy to find a place for everything. Same with shoes, dress shirts, ties, dresses, and all the other accessories. It is a boat, after all, and while James Bond can pull off a tuxedo under a wetsuit, most of us can’t. Layout and Comfort Systems
It is the rare person who doesn’t need a handy place to charge phones and other devices each day. Is there a good place where all these devices can be plugged in without a hunt the next day for where they are? I’m talking about phones, hearing aids, fitness trackers, and all the other personal electronics we have. It is nice if there is an obvious central space for us for this purpose.
All the systems that make living aboard such a nice experience also have their maintenance needs. If the HVAC systems have filters that need regular cleaning, are they easy to get at without taking the boat apart? Much the same as my need to have great access to fuel filters, any serviceable things on my boat should be easy to get at, and the spare replacements should also not require tearing the boat apart to locate.
Ideally, a place for everything, and everything in its place…without clutter.
Above All—Make it Easy
One big point in this discussion is how we make the boat suitable for living aboard without losing the ability to leave the dock easily and quickly. Unlike a few household plants that can be placed in the galley sink to keep them from toppling over, the rest of the interior should not need to be transformed before we can go boating.
If a couple decides to go anchor out for the weekend up a quiet creek or visit an exciting downtown city marina for a few days, it should be relatively easy to make this happen. It shouldn’t require a pile of stuff be left on the dock. Assuming the trawler has a gyrostabilizer or active stabilizers, we should not need to reconfigure the interior to handle the boat’s motion.
Obviously, the dog’s water bowl might need to be stored in an “at sea” special spot, but this should involve minimal effort. Clothes in hanging lockers survive just fine when the boat is stabilized, although we are not making a passage. Longer trips will require a careful inspection to get ready for sea.
At the end of the day, living on a trawler can be a satisfying experience for however long, blending the love of waterfront living with one’s other interests and activities. You may find you’ll have to use the same glass for orange juice in the morning as for later to pour a couple of fingers of your favorite single malt at the end of the day. Not a problem.
You can have it all, but only on the right boat, properly set up for living aboard. It can be a fantastic chapter of one’s life, making memories that cannot compare to life ashore.
If done right, you can take it all with you as you pursue that perfect sunset—complete with the Green Flash…or eagles overhead and a bear walking silently along the beach.

As summer reaches its peak across the Northern Hemisphere, it’s hard to imagine a better way of spending a vacation than channeling your inner ship captain and sailing across the ocean.
In recent years, yacht companies have reported a boom in sales — far from the decline that many in the industry feared, due to both the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic realities of the Russia-Ukraine War.
“I spent my days [in 2020] doing worst-case scenarios and drawing up the budgets to go with them,” Giovanna Vitelli, chairwoman of Azimut|Benetti, the world’s largest yacht manufacturer, told the Economist in 2023.
Instead, her company reported a 23% growth in production value in 2023 —a reality that is not unique to just one yacht manufacturer. The luxury yacht market is expected to grow in value from $7.67 billion in 2023 to $17.33 billion by 2032, according to a recent report from Fortune Business Insights .
Analysts attribute the ships’ rise in popularity to the increasing number of extremely wealthy individuals . Yachts have long been considered a status symbol — a reality that has only increased as wealth becomes concentrated in the hands of a small group of high status individuals .
There are an estimated 6,000 superyachts —vessels that are more than 100 feet long — at sea as of this year. This is nearly quadruple the number of yachts seen in the ocean just three decades ago, according to Bloomberg .
Aside from an increase in popularity, the yacht industry has seen other changes in recent years. Increasingly, those in the market for a luxury ship are turning to alternate means of powering their vessels, as critics point to the excess emissions traditional yachts produce simply for recreational use.
In their 2024 report, Fortune Business Insights highlighted the growing trend of electrification as a significant area of growth in the coming years.
“A tough regulatory environment for traditional yachts and rising fuel prices will pave the way for the solid growth of electric yachts in the future,” the report reads. “Huge investments from various manufacturers and government support measures will accelerate the demand for electric yachts.”
Read on to learn more about the most luxurious yachts available for chartering in 2024.
Originally constructed in 2002, the award-winning Carinthia VII was recently remodeled and reimagined specifically for private charters. The 319-foot ship spans six decks and can accommodate up to 12 guests in eight staterooms. Among the ship’s amenities are two bars, a fully equipped gym and an outdoor projection screen that allows for an “immersive cinematic experience like no other.” The cost of chartering the Carinthia VII is $1,525,700 during both the winter and summer seasons.
The Lady S yacht boasts a number of exciting water toys, including jet skis, water skis, wakeboards and kayaks for athletic guests on the 305-foot ship. For those who prefer more indoor-oriented activities, however, you can also catch a film on the ship’s IMAX Dolby cinema — the first of its kind on any yacht in the world. Accommodating 12 guests, in seven cabins, the cost of chartering the Lady S begins at $1,743,328 a week.
The interior of the Ahpo yacht seems more reminiscent of a luxury hotel than a simple ship. Accommodating 16 guests and 36 crew members, the vessel features a full-size gym, a winter garden and a spa complete with a Himalayan salt sauna. The 378-foot long yacht was first manufactured in 2021 by the German shipyard Lürssen. Excited sailors can charter the Ahpo from superyacht broker Edmiston, beginning at $2,833,376 a week.
This 154-foot-long yacht can accommodate up to 12 travelers in its six cabins, along with up to 10 crew members. The ship was specially designed to enable “guests a 360-degree experience and relationship with the sea” through its unique stern and sundeck that allow travelers to safely stand “almost at sea level,” according to its Italian manufacturer San Lorenzo . Interested travelers can rent the ship for $359,609 a week.
The Renaissance lives up to its grandiose name by going beyond traditional private yachts and bridging the gap between a personal vehicle and a full-on cruise ship. The 367-foot long ship features five decks and can accommodate 36 guests in 19 cabins. The Renaissance’s amenities include a 19-seat movie theater, a sushi-bar, and a full spa deck featuring a wellness area, plunge pools and a hair salon. The cost of chartering the ship from Burgess Yachts ranges from $3,269,280 to $3,814,160 a week.
Celtics jayson tatum on what it was like in the duck boat parade for banner 18, share this article.
What is it like riding in a duck boat parade thrown by the City of Boston to celebrate you and your teammates winning an NBA title with the Boston Celtics ? According to star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum , it is not all that bad of an experience.
We of course may be underselling his take on the experience, which the St. Louis native recently shared on a recent episode of the Wave Sports and Entertainment Original “7 PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony and The Kid Mero” podcast. “I think for me, the best part was the parade,” said the Duke alum. “The parade was the best two hours of my life, that environment, 2 million people being outside, being on the duck boat and just the atmosphere and the energy.”
“That (expletive) was incredible, and then it’s tough,” he added. “I’ve had a lot of great things happen since then — I signed a contract, I’m trying to win a gold medal, but I’m like, all those things are great, and I’m blessed and happy for it, but it’s like I don’t want that (expletive) though.”

“We did win a championship and … it is damn near impossible to do it and every year is different,” recalled Tatum.
“Every year presents its own challenges, and it’s like I know how hard that … was to do, and it’s like I’m out here with USA Basketball trying to win a gold medal, but it’s like, yo, I just won a championship.”

Rabbi Yehoshua Mizrachi is an author and scholar of Judaism and the Talmud, and can speak with command and authority on the intricacies of Jewish law. Yet, when confronted by an agnostic asking about universal truths, Mizrachi had the ability to provide comfort and understanding in a truly touching, compassionate manner:
"The important thing to remember is that God loves us all and he wants us to do good,'' said Mizrachi, the new rabbi at Pensacola's B'Nai Israel Synagogue on Ninth Avenue. "God is rooting for us and he's a totally good God, and he wants us to do good between each other and to treat each other kindly and with compassion and think about ourselves a little bit less and think more about how we treat others."
Mizrachi and his wife Sheila have been in Pensacola for just days now. B'Nai Israel Synagogue has been without a rabbi since October, 2023. B'nai Israel was founded in 1899, making Pensacola the first Florida community to have two Jewish congregations with Reform Temple Beth El , located on North Palafox Street, founded in 1876.
A New Jersey native with Israeli dual citizenship, Mizrachi and his wife first visited Pensacola three weeks ago during the interview process. He had previously been teaching Jewish education to seventh-graders at a private school in West Palm Beach.
"I think I'm better with adult education and teaching and that's where my focus is now,'' he said. "My first impression here was that the people are very nice and very kind and they absolutely understood that they need a rabbi here. I found that they're open to spiritual leadership and they want adult education, and they want to grow in their spirituality. So, it's a very, very nice place to be."
Jerry Gordon, B'Nai Israel Synagogue past president, said Mizrachi impressed board members during his interview, with his depth of knowledge on the Torah and the Talmud, and his interpretation of Jewish law and texts.
"In the words of some of our well-seasoned members, he was amazing,'' Gordon said. "I think he wants to rebuild and recruit younger families with children. He wants to do outreach to the general community, and frankly reach out to Christians united with Israel."
Mizrachi said he plans to reach out to area faith leaders once he is settled. Right now, the Mizrachi's are in temporary lodging awaiting their home to arrive in Pensacola. That's right. The couple's home is aboard the MV Sephina, a 52-foot trawler Mizrachi purchased in 2019 from the Alaska Department of Commerce after driving cross-county from Pennsylvania, where he was then living, to Hoonah, Alaska. They had to spend some time in Alaska readying and repairing the vessel, which was in bad shape.
"We were hoping for the best and prepared for the worst,'' he said. "We got the worst. Anything that was bolted down had been stolen off the boat. It needed a new engine, and it hadn't been maintained in nine years, so it took an awful lot of work."
After finally getting the vessel ready for travel, in October 2020 Mizrachi piloted the Sephina down the Pacific Coast, through the Panama Canal, finally arriving in West Palm Beach, where the trawler is now. He said it needs some more work before he brings it to Pensacola, where the couple has a few different docking locations to consider as a home port.
"She needs a lot of paint,'' Mizrachi said. "She's been in the Pacific Northwest most of her life, so she needs a bunch of paint before we get her back in the water."
But the couple will be living on the water somewhere in Pensacola. For now, though, Mizrachi is concentrating on his new leadership and teaching position. A goal is to extend B'Nai Israel's outreach in the community.
"I want to reach out to all of the Jewish community here and forge bonds with (other Jewish congregations),'' he said. "I want to reach out to the many Christians here and build bonds of friendship. I want to be a common face at the hospitals and the nursing homes and be a resource for the entire community. So it starts with our inner circle here and expands out from there."
While he can expound academically on the 613 Jewish commandments, he's also astute enough to bring God's message in the simplest of terms.
"I'm very excited about being here and spreading God's light in this world,'' he said. "It's a very dark world and we need as much light as possible. That's going to be my job. To encourage people to do good deeds and clothe the naked and feed the hungry; to extend kindness to strangers, even if just means opening a door for someone."

2022 Beneteau Swift Trawler 48. Image via Ancasta International Boat Sales. Beneteau turned the concept of the "slow trawler" on its ear with the introduction of the Swift series, with over 1,300 hulls built to date. The newest of these is the Swift 48, a replacement for the successful Swift 47 with a few new twists.
1. Beneteau Swift Trawler 41. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 is a new addition to the swift trawler fleet and an excellent option for families. She's affordable, spacious, and great on fuel — at a top speed of 23 knots, she can drive to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale with plenty of fuel left to cruise around and return without a refill.
Most of them retail for $500,000+. The Ranger Tugs R-23, however, was designed with the price-conscious boater in mind. At a base price of only $115,000, this trawler boat delivers outstanding value for money. It is powered by a 200hp Yamaha outboard engine and has a very open and airy feeling about it.
5. Great Harbour N47. Number 5 on our best trawlers to live on list is the Great Harbour N47. The Great Harbour N47 (LOA 46' 10'' and LWL 46' 1'') is designed with its livability in mind while making it your go-to trawler for long-distance journeys. This trawler is famous for being slow and steady.
The Best Trawler Yachts Under 60 Feet. The under-60-foot category of trawler yachts is one of the fastest growing markets in yachting, with more and more brands creating what are essentially mini superyachts. They're manageable for a couple, but spacious enough for a large family or even two. They offer living space that will be comfortable ...
The top speed of a semi-displacement trawler is limited by how much horsepower the builder reasons is sellable in the new boats. In my opinion, it was downright shameful when the management of the high-quality Grand Banks brand, the hands down bullseye of the trawler market for many years, decided at one point that all its models had to be ...
The Best Liveaboard Yachts. Trawlers, tug boats, pocket yachts and large catamarans (power and sail) all suited a liveaboard lifestyle and long distance cruisers. Liveboards are focused on utility combined with seaworthiness and large living spaces tha that is large enough to offer a comfortable lifestyle. Also, liveaboards need to be easy to ...
Trawlers are a type of motor yacht or powerboat with a design similar to small commercial fishing boats and can sometimes look like ranger tugs. Full-displacement trawlers are designed for long-distance cruising at an average speed of 10 to 15 knots .

Small trawler boats can range from $50,000 to $200,000, while larger trawler yachts can cost several million dollars. It's important to consider your budget and specific requirements when determining the price range that suits you best. In conclusion, trawlers and yachts offer distinct advantages depending on your boating preferences.
What is a Trawler. Trawlers are boats with relatively large cabins designed for extended stays aboard and long voyages. Most offer slow but efficient displacement cruising speeds, and while few older trawlers could plane, many new ones do have a bit more "get home power" and speed which can be used when maximizing efficiency isn't the primary concern.
Fleming Yachts is another popular name in the world of trawler boats. Known for their high-quality craftsmanship, Fleming Yachts has been creating exceptional vessels for over three decades. Their flagship model, the Fleming 55, is a top pick for long-distance cruising. This yacht features a sleek, elegant design and offers all the amenities ...

5. Type of Boat. Trawlers, Sailboats (with a retractable mast for bridges), and Motor Yachts are popular choices because they balance living space, fuel efficiency, and navigability. Sailboats can offer the advantage of wind power but consider the need to lower the mast for certain sections of the Loop.
Beneteau Swift Trawler 44. With a top-end of just over 27 MPH, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 44 is among the fastest boats in this category. When Beneteau started introducing passage-making "fast" trawlers like the Swift Trawler 44 back in 2011, lots of folks in the North American boating market sort of scratched their heads.
Here's a trawler under 40 feet (39'9" LOA, 14' 6" beam) that has impressive cruising credentials. The Nordhavn has established itself as one of the most capable ships in its size range with both a circumnavigation and an Atlantic crossing under its waterline. And the owners of this salty trawler are among the most serious cruisers you ...
A trawler is a type of power boat designed for slow, steady cruising. Trawlers trace their origins to commercial fishing vessels used for trawling - dragging large nets behind the boat. Today's trawler yachts have evolved into comfortable cruisers perfect for extended voyages. Modern trawlers come in a range of sizes from 35 to over 100 feet.
Yup, definitely a unique experience. And getting one's holding tanks pumped out also comes with challenges, depending on season and location. Sometimes it is best to use the marina facilities when it is off season, while more and more waterfront towns offer seasonal mobile pump out services run by the harbormaster.
