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/

We didn't know about Thermal Cookers until we started living on our sailboat and needed to find ways to conserve gas. These thermal cookers are the bomb! They only use 8 mins of gas and then leave it for 2 hours for a ready delicious meal. We get to do other stuff while we wait for the thermal cooker to do its magic! #boatlife #shorts #shortsviral #thermalcooker

We just sailed from Chile to Panama. 20 days at sea, no land in sight and these lessons are now burned into my salty brain: 🎧 No in-ear headphones at sea. They mess with your balance and make seasickness worse. Trust me. 🧘‍♀️ Patience is everything. You can’t rush nature. The wind comes when it comes. 💧 Hydration matters more than you think. Feeling off? Drink water first. 💡 Extra tip: Sleep when you can and respect your watch shifts. You never know when you’ll need that extra energy—especially when a squall hits at 2am. Tell us, what’s one lesson you’ve learned from offshore sailing or long passages? 🌊 Want to feel more confident offshore? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle. It’s packed with real-life lessons, provisioning guides, safety checklists, crew tips, and sail setups we actually use. Stay Salty!
