Introducing the 72 ft Darling Yachts Trawler, NORTH, a stunning custom aluminum pilothouse vessel listed at $799,000.00 USD (approximately $1,090,000.00 CAD), with moorage available in Vancouver, BC upon approval. This exceptional yacht was meticulously crafted by Darling Yachts in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and completed in 2002 after over four years of dedicated construction. Built to withstand the rigors of saltwater, its quarter-inch aluminum hull is so expertly finished and painted in Imron that many mistake it for fiberglass, while beneath lies commercial-grade strength combined with the elegance of a finely appointed motor yacht. Originally designed for the Great Loop, she navigated the Ohio River before being acquired by Canadian owners for extensive cruising along the Pacific Northwest and into Alaska. This 72-foot pilothouse yacht harmoniously blends strength, luxury, and functionality. The current owner has extensively used her along the British Columbia coast but is now transitioning to a smaller local commuter vessel. Over the past two years, nearly every system and surface has been upgraded or restored to exceptional standards. A survey conducted in June 2023 rated her in 'above average' condition, and since then, over $300,000 CAD has been invested in professional hull restoration, mechanical updates, and modernization, including new Garmin screens. More than 500 labor hours were devoted to restoring the hull to pristine condition, addressing every item noted during the mechanical inspection to ensure she is turnkey and exceptionally prepared for coastal or offshore voyages. NORTH is powered by twin Cummins 450hp Diamond Series diesels, each with under 2900 hours, and features two Westerbeke 32kW generators with 3000 hours. Her systems include hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, dual Glendinning controls, and a well-equipped engine room with redundant filtration, Algae-X fuel conditioning, and a professional-grade oil exchange system. The interior boasts an unparalleled level of finish not typically found in modern production yachts. Cherry cabinetry, arched doors with solid brass Baldwin hardware, tongue and groove ceilings, and birdseye maple stairs exemplify the craftsmanship of a fine residence. The main salon and dining area feature custom leather furnishings and striking black ebony inlaid tables made from reclaimed 500-year-old oak. The master stateroom offers king-sized comfort, generous seven-foot ceilings, and ample cedar-lined storage, while guest quarters are cleverly designed in an L-shaped twin berth layout. The pilothouse serves as the command center, featuring dual Stidd helm chairs in green leather, an Edson teak wheel, and a comprehensive electronics suite, including Furuno radar, FLIR thermal imaging, Garmin GPS, SSB radio, and Nobeltec navigation software. A raised settee and workstation enhance long-range operational comfort. Additional amenities include a Highfield 16-foot aluminum RIB with a 90hp Yamaha, a custom hydraulic davit mounted at the transom, Webasto and Flagship Marine heating systems, Bose surround sound, satellite TV, and an LG OLED display. The yacht is equipped with full laundry, pantry, and attic-style storage, as well as foam insulation and soundproofing throughout, plus a water maker and two Sub-Zero full-size fridge/freezer units. NORTH is built for longevity, designed for cruising, and finished to impress. Whether you're seeking a serious long-range coastal explorer or a unique liveaboard with a distinguished yacht club presence, she stands out as an exceptional offering that is truly one of a kind in her class. Full maintenance records, recent survey, and mechanical inspection reports are available for qualified buyers.
