1985 DeFever 40 Offshore Cruiser

The DeFever 40 Offshore Cruiser is a 40-foot fiberglass trawler designed for extended cruising, measuring 14 feet across the beam. Powered by a Perkins diesel engine, this boat was built to handle offshore conditions with a traditional trawler hull form suited to serious distance cruising.

The layout includes two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable accommodation for cruising couples or small families. The pilothouse configuration gives good sightlines for handling the boat in various conditions, and the design prioritizes seaworthiness and fuel efficiency typical of the DeFever brand.

At 39 years old, this 1985-built trawler represents the solid construction standards of that era. The fiberglass hull has proven durability, and the Perkins powerplant is known for reliability in long-range cruising applications.
