Looking for a dependable commercial trawler already working in one of Australia's most productive fisheries? This 13.71m Farsund steel trawler is a proven East Coast performer, currently operating triple gear and delivering the kind of reliability serious operators demand.
Built with durability in mind, this vessel offers a strong steel hull and a practical working layout suited to consistent commercial use. It has been well maintained and is actively fishing, giving buyers confidence in both its capability and ongoing performance.
Configured for efficiency, the vessel is set up to operate triple gear, maximising fishing capacity and productivity on each trip. Its current operation in the East Coast trawl fishery demonstrates its suitability for demanding conditions, while also offering potential flexibility for areas such as Moreton Bay, subject to licensing requirements.
Included in the sale is a Queensland PCFL, T1 licence, and 3,623 Central Zone Effort Units, providing immediate access to key fisheries and allowing you to step straight into operations without the usual delays or complexity.
This matters because vessels that are already working, properly set up, and backed by effort units are increasingly difficult to secure. With this Farsund trawler, you reduce downtime, minimise setup costs, and position yourself to generate income from day one.
