1997 Kadey-Krogen 48 Whaleback

DREAM WEAVER is a Krogen 48 Whaleback full-displacement trawler, a classic design built for serious long-range cruising and full-time liveaboard life. The standout feature is her seamless, single-level main deck, which connects the aft deck, saloon, galley, office, three cabins, and two heads with zero steps to navigate. Unlike standard Krogens, this custom layout splits the saloon and dining area into two distinct spaces for effortless hosting, while two of the cabins feature dedicated desks for a practical remote-work setup on the water. Up top, the pilothouse sits behind a protective Portuguese bridge, offering 360-degree views for offshore passage-making and doubling as a cozy lounge complete with its own fridge and storage.

DREAM WEAVER is in solid condition for her vintage. Updates include a recent Garmin chartplotter and closed-array radar, a new inverter, a new battery bank, a new bow thruster propeller, and fully serviced stabilizers. Onboard comfort is equally prioritized, thanks to new A/C units in the pilothouse and main living areas, new undercounter refrigeration, a new washer and dryer, and updated upholstery, canvas, and window treatments throughout. Complete with fresh bottom paint and serviced running gear, this practical, comfortable trawler is an excellent option for buyers looking for a proven “home on any sea” at a reasonable price.
