This DeFever 44 is bound to catch the eye of anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and capable cruiser—especially if you’re dreaming of long-range adventures or living aboard internationally. Designed by Arthur DeFever, a legend in the trawler world, this 44-foot flybridge motor yacht was his most popular model for good reason. It’s built tough with a solid fiberglass hull, a deep keel, and sturdy struts protecting the running gear, making it a seaworthy choice for tackling coastal waters. The displacement hull—steady and fuel-efficient—means you’re not burning through diesel like some lighter boats. You get a generous salon with a galley-up design—perfect for keeping the cook in the conversation—plus a full-beam master stateroom aft with a queen berth, ensuite head, and enough storage to settle in for months. The forward guest cabin has a V-berth for visitors, and the walk-in engine room is a mechanic’s dream—near stand-up headroom for easy maintenance. Add in the flybridge with its commanding views and roomy aft deck for lounging or entertaining, and you’ve got a boat that feels like a floating home without skimping on practicality. Owners love the walk-around decks for easy handling and the tender setup. For someone who values durability, comfort, and the freedom to roam, don’t let this one pass you by! https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1985-defever-44-trawler-9694624/

This chapter of my life has come to an end, so I feel it's only right to close this channel. Thank you for the countless positive feedback, messages, and encouragement I’ve received over the years, and for supporting this journey. And last but not least, although our paths have permanently separated with Kinga and Vera, I thank them for being with me through the most beautiful and most difficult moments of the journey. I’ve collected a life-defining experience aboard Irreversible, which has often come to mind even during my everyday life. This is what gave me the strength to set off once again. You can find my new adventures at the links below. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The Yachts For Sale Blog team and I flew in to Antigua, where I was reunited with Riccardo Petrolati and Davide Olivi...the original video team that helped me establish this YouTube channel. We have eighteen days of filming ahead of us...so there was a LOT to get organized!
