Touring a DeFever 49 Pilothouse Trawler (Full Walkthrough) Ep. 185

We’re touring a DeFever 49 Pilothouse Trawler – “Après Vous” — a purpose-built cruising yacht designed for long-range liveaboard life. From the Portuguese bridge and walkaround decks to the spacious pilothouse, engine room, and full liveaboard layout — this boat has a LOT to offer. It’s a big shift from the commercial fishing vessels we’ve been looking at… and it’s got us thinking. Could this be the kind of boat for our next chapter? We’d LOVE to hear what you think.
