Rugged construction and exceptionally seaworthy, "Aurora" is a Albin 36' Double Cabin Trawler that is ideal for those who enjoy the look, style and function of a classic trawler. A dream for many couples and families is The Great Loop. Aurora has done the Loop twice. The latest was with the current owners. The desired height for bridges and the fold down mast make it possible. The couple who currently own this Albin Double Cabin Trawler have traveled extensively and cared for her through their many adventures. "Aurora" sleeps 6 in Fore and Aft cabins and an L-shaped Convertible settee in the Salon. She has 6'5 headroom, two private head compartments, the master has both a shower and a tub and she's Air Conditioned. She has a generator, windlass, a teak swim platform, davits and secure rails all around the decks. She has both Upper and Lower Helms with controls, see below equipment list. She is powered by the reliable 120 HP Ford Lehman engine with 4620 hours and has a bow thruster. Creature Comforts are abundant aboard this trawler. She does need flybridge canvas. The old canvas pieces and the stainless frame is onboard. These owner's have enjoyed Aurora for several years but life is telling them that it is time for New Owners to enjoy her.
As you board Aurora, you'll first notice the wide, easy-access side decks leading to the forward and aft sections of the boat. The aft deck is spacious, offering plenty of room for seating, fishing, or enjoying the view. It's also equipped with a ladder for easy access to the flybridge, where you can enjoy commanding views of your surroundings while underway.
Moving into the salon, from either port or starboard sliding doors you're greeted by a warm, inviting space with large windows providing plenty of natural light. The comfortable seating area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests, with a pedestal table for dining or game nights. A well-placed helm station is located forward in the salon, providing excellent visibility for navigating while still remaining close to the living areas.
