1978 CHB puget trawler 37

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much warm woodwork and big windows change the feel of a cruise; this 37-footer is all about slow, comfortable travel with a proper salty vibe. The side decks are generous for a boat this size, so handling lines or setting fenders feels secure even in a sloppy chop. The raised pilothouse gives you that commanding view when threading narrow passages, while the cozy salon invites board games and long conversations once the hook is down. Storage is abundant—lockers, cubbies, and under-seat spaces swallow provisions for extended wandering, and the full walkaround makes anchoring, docking, and crabbing runs simple for a cruising couple.

A classic 37-foot trawler is purpose-built for the long, protected waterways and shifting conditions of this cruising ground. The efficient single diesel sips fuel while giving you the range to link distant anchorages without constant fuel stops. A full displacement hull, substantial keel, and high bow work together to soften short, steep chop and keep you tracking straight in strong tidal currents. The flybridge and pilothouse combination offers sheltered running in drizzle and an open-air perch for those glassy summer days. With ample tankage, comfortable living spaces, and a gentle motion at anchor, this model is ideal for unhurried exploration from one quiet cove to the next.
