This Steel Aft Wheelhouse Expedition Trawler Has 24,000L of Fuel 🤯 (Ep. 184)

We flew to Tasmania in search of our next long-range expedition vessel… and this week, we step aboard Iron Maiden — a 65ft steel fishing trawler with incredible potential. With 24,000L of fuel, 7,000L of water, and a seriously capable offshore design, this boat could be transformed into the ultimate liveaboard cruiser. From huge storage holds to a full set of sails, we walk through the entire boat and share what we LOVE about her — and how we’d turn her into our dream home on the water.
