M.V. "Vagrant Sea" — Custom Welded Aluminum 30 Trawler | Victoria, BC

Built tough in British Columbia and finished in aluminum to a Chesapeake Marine Design, Vagrant Sea is the kind of boat that goes anywhere the Pacific Northwest can throw at her and asks for very little in return. Five watertight bulkheads, a full-beam welded swim deck, and a hull that shrugs off the rocks and logs that make fiberglass owners nervous.

This is a purpose-built coastal cruiser for someone who wants to actually use their boat. Her current owner bought her in 2016 and has poured steady, thoughtful work into her ever since. The bare hull was reinspected, rewelded, and strengthened where needed, and the systems were brought up to a standard that shows in every photo. Drop the lines in Sidney and you are a short hop from the Gulf Islands and the San Juans, with the range and seakeeping to push north to Desolation Sound when the season opens up.

Power is a 2010 Isuzu 70 HP diesel turning a three blade stainless prop through a ZF Hurth direct drive, with just under 400 hours showing. She is keel cooled, which means no raw water heat exchanger to service and no strainer to clean, a genuinely lower maintenance setup that suits a boat meant for long, quiet days at trawler speed. Figure a comfortable 5 knot cruise with 7 on tap, sipping fuel from 200 gallons of diesel capacity. That is real multi-week range for Inside Passage style cruising.

Up in the pilothouse is where the owner's attention really shows. Single station helm with full instrumentation, hydraulic SeaStar steering, and a clean electronics suite including Furuno GPS and radar, ComNav compass, Raymarine autopilot, VHF, and depth sounder. The cozy mermaid corner makes the pilothouse a place you actually want to spend the day. A Vetus bow thruster added in 2021, complete with a helm remote, makes solo and short-handed docking genuinely easy.
