DeFever 48 Tri Cabin 1987

Easily board this boat from either side deck or through the transom door, and you'll immediately sense its inviting charm. The expansive teak decks, polished rails, sturdy handholds, and ample protection ensure that moving around the boat feels both safe and effortless, whether you're managing lines at the dock or navigating forward while underway. The covered aft deck quickly becomes a cherished outdoor living space, complete with seating, storage for cruising gear, and safe access to the flybridge. This classic trawler layout has been thoughtfully owned, maintained, and upgraded, ensuring that every feature is purposeful and nothing is overlooked. With three genuine staterooms, two heads, and a spacious main salon filled with natural light, this boat feels much larger than its size suggests. Naiad stabilizers smooth out longer journeys, while solar panels, a watermaker, and dual generators provide the freedom to anchor comfortably for extended stays. Inside, the salon beautifully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience. The warm ambiance created by teak flooring, burl wood accents, and granite countertops, combined with cozy seating, makes it feel inviting without being outdated. The galley is designed for serious cooking, not just for occasional gatherings, and the dual-helm setup with complete instrumentation at both stations ensures that operating the boat is intuitive and reassuring. What truly distinguishes this vessel is its exceptional readiness for long-range cruising and life on the water. With a stand-up engine room, reliable systems redundancy, ample storage, and proven Lehman power, this boat is perfectly suited for extended coastal adventures, the Great Loop, or simply enjoying a more leisurely lifestyle on the water. This is a vessel you can board and start your journey right away—it's not a project or a compromise, just a reliable, well-equipped trawler ready for your next adventure.
