Sea King - 16.45m Steel Commercial Trawler | Major Refit, Licensed & Ready to Work
If you're looking for a solid steel trawler with major mechanical upgrades already completed, Sea King presents a proven, reliable platform ready for immediate commercial use. With a strong build and extensive 2021 refit, this vessel is designed for operators who want performance without the upfront overhaul.
Built in 1980 by respected builder Neville Ellis, Sea King features a durable 6mm steel hull and alloy semi-raised wheelhouse, delivering strength, visibility, and long-term reliability in commercial conditions. At 16.45 metres and 42 hull units, it offers a practical balance of size, capacity, and efficiency.
The vessel is offered as a package including Primary Licence with T1 and L3(0) symbols, providing access across key trawl and line fisheries and allowing immediate operational capability.
A comprehensive engine room refit completed in 2021 significantly enhances the vessel's value and reliability. This included installation of a new main engine, a rebuilt gearbox, new KVA system, full rewiring with updated switchboards, and replacement of pumps. The engine room was also spot blasted and fully repainted, ensuring both functionality and presentation meet commercial standards.
This level of upgrade matters because it reduces downtime, lowers maintenance risk, and allows operators to focus on fishing rather than refit work. Sea King offers a dependable, no-nonsense platform with the critical systems already addressed.
