TS634 18.95m Trawler Capricorn I


Capricorn I - Upgraded Commercial Trawler | Proven, Maintained & Ready to Earn

If you're looking for a commercial trawler with real money already spent and no immediate work required, Capricorn I stands out as a smart, ready-to-work investment. This is a proven vessel that has undergone consistent maintenance and significant upgrades over the past 24 months--positioning it for reliable, ongoing commercial use.

Capricorn I offers a genuine turn-key solution for operators who want to avoid downtime, unexpected costs, and refit delays. Every major area of the vessel has been addressed, ensuring it is operationally sound and ready to generate income from day one.

Recent works include a full slip completed in December 2025 and a complete repaint in December 2024, reflecting a high standard of upkeep. Key systems have been upgraded with a new compressor installed in 2024, new FDC units and a dry freezer hatch added in early 2025, and hydraulic systems configured for Royal Red operations with motors previously rebuilt.

Structural and deck improvements further enhance the vessel's reliability and usability. Capricorn I has been refastened externally from the waterline down and through the engine room, with new Dyneema stays installed in 2023 and new 10mm stainless wire fitted to the try gear in 2024. Additional investment includes a new stainless steel console and hoses, representing approximately $16,000 in recent spend, along with updated safety equipment including new life rings.

This matters because vessels with this level of recent capital investment significantly reduce future maintenance risk, allowing you to focus on fishing rather than repairs. Capricorn I delivers a dependable platform with the upgrades already done--saving you time, money, and operational disruption.

Capricorn I is a fully upgraded commercial trawler with extensive recent works, offering a reliable, ready-to-earn solution for operators seeking immediate productivity and reduced maintenance risk.
