Beautiful boat. It appears to be 'priced to sell' quickly.
a lot of boat for 120K..
Really nice explorer. If it were me I would convert about 1,000 gallons of that fuel capacity over to additional water. Much more useful.
I’m going to look her over tomorrow. I didn’t notice the listing until June, 2019. Concerned about resale
10-12 years from now.
A note to correct a post about the Yacht "Stella", a Seaton 56. The ENTIRE design is by Stephen Seaton and only two were built as yachts. Several more were finished as Research vessels in Texas. The First yacht was "Single Star" built by Hidden Harbor (a company I started) and the second was built by my friend C. Ross in Clearwater, Fl for another friend C Cox Both great boats. Single Star is working as a charter vessel in Kodiak Alaska now. Regards, Stephen Seaton (Naval Architect)
Hello everyone!
Just purchased borrowed horse, a 48 Seaton and I'm very happy to say the least. Built like a ship with serviceability in mind and storage everywhere. I have a little bit of work to do before I bring her down to Florida, all preventative maintenance.
Just came across this thread. My wife and I bought Argo, a 55 Seaton, built in 1981 in the Durbeck yard, in March of 2020. Delivered it down to Long Beach California from Anacortes in July of 2020. We can’t say enough good things about this boat - we were in small craft the whole way down with some gales mixed in and the boat was rock solid. I won’t hesitate to take it anywhere. We are living aboard in San Pedro California waiting for our son to finish college so we can go cruising.
Hi Sparks,Hi, looking to connect with any other Seaton designed, Durbeck’s built trawler owners on the forum. I got one a few years back, that I am very happy with and not sure why I’d ever want something else. This boat is heavy and solid, and feels like a little ship but accessible and sized right to handle single handed. I rode out a hurricane last year on anchor, and just felt at home. Anybody else feel the same way about their old Seaton?
Sure but a few large round fenders would provide protection. Perhaps if you go through locks often, but I rarely do.
Have been living and cruising aboard our 48' Seaton Durbeck trawler since 2015 but our advancing age is going to force us to sell and move ashore. In the process of preparing a listing that I will forward to anyone that is interested. Have many pictures. Great boat, some recent work but needs more to bring her to tip top shape. Currently in Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
I found your listing on Yachtworld and would love more info on Namaste.Have been living and cruising aboard our 48' Seaton Durbeck trawler since 2015 but our advancing age is going to force us to sell and move ashore.
