Beneteau's Grand Trawler 62
Semi-Displacement Trawler: 1,044 NMiles at 9 Knots
The Grand Trawler 62 is powered by twin MAN 700-hp diesels that the builder says can get her up to 20 knots in a pinch, but we’d prefer to operate her at 8-9 knots and enjoy the trawler life-style. Beneteau has built a number of different models over the years, and this one is the largest yet. See Our Video ->
