"Jettin' Joanne" makes a great live-aboard or cruising vessel. Few trawler designs have enjoyed the enduring appeal of the 44' making it the most popular DeFever production design ever with over 150 sold. Heavily constructed on a full displacement hull with a tall, flared bow and plenty of freeboard all around providing a safe and stable ride. Also perfect for entertaining, the DeFever 44’s roomy two-stateroom interior is arranged with the galley aft in the salon where it’s easily reached from the enormous covered aft deck with galley pass-thru window and flybridge with a complete helm station on centerline and passenger seating. Grab rails in the salon overhead are a nice touch, and large windows provide panoramic views of the water. The full-beam master stateroom with ensuite head and separate shower is roomy with tons of storage. Another great feature is the walk-in engine room with workbench and near standing headroom. 

Twin 135 hp Lehman diesels cruise at 7-8 knots with a range of 1,500 nautical miles
