Exmouth K - 18.3m Steel Commercial Trawler | High-Capacity, Proven & Offshore Ready

If you're looking for a solid, high-capacity commercial trawler with strong offshore capability, Exmouth K delivers a proven platform built for serious fishing operations. With substantial fuel capacity, reliable machinery, and practical onboard systems, this vessel is well suited to extended trips and consistent commercial output.

At 18.3 metres with a 60 hull unit rating, Exmouth K offers scale and stability for demanding conditions. Built by Kailis, the vessel features a strong steel hull and is powered by a Cummins K19 engine paired with a Twin Disc 6:1 gearbox and 57-inch propeller, delivering dependable performance and efficient propulsion.

With approximately 19,000 litres of fuel capacity, the vessel is capable of extended offshore range, allowing operators to maximise time on the water. Onboard accommodation is well suited to multi-day trips, supporting crew comfort and operational continuity.

Fishing capability is supported by a practical and efficient deck setup. The vessel features a hydraulic winching system driven off the main engine, a side-mounted Kailis winch, and a full try gear arrangement mounted in the gallows. A deck-mounted lazy line winch with capstan system further enhances handling efficiency during operations.

Refrigeration and catch handling systems are designed for productivity. The vessel includes deck brine tanks with approximately 1,000kg capacity, snap freezer capability for around 38 cartons, and a freezer room capable of holding approximately 1,000 x 5kg boxes. This setup supports effective storage and processing across extended fishing trips.

This matters because vessels with strong fuel capacity, reliable machinery, and practical refrigeration systems allow operators to fish longer, handle larger catches, and operate efficiently offshore. Exmouth K offers a balanced combination of capability, durability, and working efficiency.

Exmouth K is an 18.3m steel commercial trawler powered by a Cummins K19, with high fuel capacity, full deck machinery, and substantial refrigeration, offering a proven, offshore-ready solution for commercial fishing.
