2009 Kadey-Krogen 44

The Kadey-Krogen 44 is a full-displacement trawler built to cross oceans with modest fuel consumption and straightforward engineering. At 44 feet with a 16-foot beam, this fiberglass hull is powered by a single John Deere diesel engine producing 158 horsepower, capable of cruising at 8 knots with a top speed of 9 knots. The design prioritizes seaworthiness and long-range capability over speed, making it well-suited to extended cruising.

This example has been maintained consistently throughout its service life, with regular upkeep and seasonal care. The boat was recently recommissioned for active use, including new bottom paint, detailing, and protective wax to both hull and superstructure. One head serves the accommodation spaces.

The Krogen 44 represents a proven platform for cruising the Atlantic coast and beyond, offering the combination of heavy-weather capability and manageable operational demands that define this class of trawler.
