TS636 19.65m Trawler Cape York

Cape York - 19.65m Steel Commercial Trawler | Major 2023 Refit, Fully Equipped & Ready to Work

If you're looking for a large, high-capacity commercial trawler with the major mechanical work already completed, Cape York presents a serious opportunity. This 19.65m steel fishing vessel has undergone extensive upgrades in 2023 and is now in excellent mechanical condition, ready to go straight into production.

Built for demanding commercial operations, Cape York combines a strong steel hull with a proven working layout and substantial refrigeration capacity--making it well suited to extended trips and high-volume fishing. It's a vessel designed for operators who need reliability, scale, and efficiency on the water.

The key mechanical systems have all been addressed, significantly reducing risk and future capital expenditure. The Caterpillar C18 main engine has been fully rebuilt, along with the Twin Disc MG516 gearbox. A comprehensive propeller shaft survey was completed in 2023, including new cooper bearings, white metal bearings, sand treatment, and internal seal replacement. The vessel was also slipped in February 2026, ensuring it is up to date and operationally ready.

Cape York is offered with a Queensland PCFL, T1 licence, and 3,269 Northern TEUs, along with Torres Strait trawl access including 40 nights. This combination provides immediate access to key fisheries and enhances the vessel's commercial capability from day one.

This matters because vessels of this size with recent full mechanical refits are increasingly difficult to secure. With the major works already completed, Cape York allows you to minimise downtime, reduce upfront risk, and focus on generating returns immediately.

Cape York is a 19.65m steel commercial trawler with a fully rebuilt engine and gearbox, current survey work completed, and fishing licences included, offering a high-capacity, ready-to-work solution for serious commercial operators.
