2000 Transpacific Marine Eagle Pilothouse Trawler

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the pilothouse feels like a small ship’s bridge, not just another helm. Sightlines are excellent, with proper chart space and enough room to actually spread out cruising guides and plan a route. Wide side decks with solid handholds make line handling and anchoring feel secure, even in a chop. The Portuguese bridge adds a sense of safety up front and gives you a dry spot to stand watch. Storage is generous throughout, with clever nooks for tools, spares, and provisions—ideal for long stretches between ports. Engine access is surprisingly civilized, allowing real maintenance instead of contortions. It’s a boat that rewards an owner who actually cruises, not just dayboats.

This Eagle Pilothouse Trawler really shines in local waters where conditions can swing from flat calm to short, steep chop in a single outing. The full-displacement hull and stout construction give a settled, predictable ride when afternoon winds pipe up, while the raised pilothouse keeps you dry and comfortable on longer runs between harbors. Shallow enough draft to explore tucked‑away anchorages, yet substantial enough for open stretches, it bridges the gap between coastal cruiser and distance passagemaker. With generous tankage and liveaboard‑friendly layout, it’s well suited for extended seasonal cruising here—whether you’re hopping between nearby marinas, settling into quiet coves, or staging for a longer migration.
