Verdict

A solid custom trawler in the 60-foot class, this 2012 yacht appears best suited to relaxed coastal cruising and extended stays aboard. Its main strengths are accommodation capacity and livability; buyers should expect modest speeds and handling that favors steady passagemaking over sporty performance.

Pros

  • +Five-cabin layout for up to 12 guests
  • +Strong liveaboard and charter-friendly accommodation
  • +Trawler form is efficient and stable at cruise
  • +Custom build allows flexible interior use

Cons

  • Not designed for high speed or agile cornering
  • Exact systems and construction quality depend on the builder
  • Custom boats can have uneven resale comparability
  • Fuel economy and range are not specified here

This 2012 custom trawler 60-foot yacht sits in the traditional trawler category: practical lines, generous interior volume, and an emphasis on steady cruising rather than speed. The custom aspect is a plus for layout flexibility, but it also means design details, build standards, and onboard systems can vary more than on a mainstream production model.

On the water, a boat of this type is typically most comfortable at displacement or semi-displacement speeds, with handling that prioritizes stability and predictability over quick acceleration. Buyers should expect composed motion and good long-range cruising manners, but not the lively performance of a planing motor yacht.

The reported five cabins and capacity for 12 guests make this an attractive option for private family use or charter-oriented operation, especially if the interior has been well maintained. Its value proposition is strongest when the fit-out, machinery, and maintenance history are strong, because custom trawlers are judged as much by condition and execution as by model name.
