50 ft Custom 1987

RESOLUTE is a 50’ custom pilothouse trawler built in Cape Canaveral, FL.  The sellers purchased this extraordinary vessel in 2015, and are the third owners.  They spend six months every winter cruising the Bahamas, and store the vessel on the hard in Florida for six months every summer.    

Her incredible heavy-duty construction makes her sturdy enough to handle most weather conditions, and her owners report her to being a “beautiful at anchor” boat. Most of their time in the Bahamas was at anchor, where they became the home base for all of the cruisers to tie up their tenders and enjoy her huge bridge deck! 

The interior woodwork is in very good condition.  It was reported that the original builder was a carpenter and this certainly shows.  There are many fine-tuned nuances in this vessel that show the attention to detail in the construction.  A photo album with pictures during construction, as well as some of the original plans convey with the vessel.

RESOLUTE is truly a blue-water trawler with solar power, a water maker, propane cooking, and fuel efficient twin Perkins engines.  RESOLUTE cruises at 8.0 knots, which is her top speed, and has a cruising range of approximately 2000 nautical miles.

The owners believe in redundancy, and have prepared this vessel for every conceivable contingency.  They take a great deal of pride in this vessel, and it shows.  Giving her up has been a difficult decision, but they know RESOLUTE is ready for her next owner.  There is still plenty of time to visit the Bahamas this year, or to move on to points beyond, and RESOLUTE is truly ready to go.

The definition of “resolute” is “admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering” which is an apt description of this must-see vessel.
