Nancy and I want to say many thanks to Gregg and Laura for all their patient and helpful assistance with all the details in commissioning our new boat. Both of them have been super responsive and helpful right from the beginning of the commissioning process. more_>>
With plans for a circumnavigation in the future, we were looking for a vessel that would provide rugged reliability in its construction and safety offshore in its performance. We also wanted individuality and style in creature comforts that were truly liveable, and the Kadey-Krogen 58' fit the bill to a tee. more_>>
I cannot help but think of what a contrast there has been with the purchase of our Kadey-Krogen 39' and the purchase of our present home. When we purchased our home four years ago we were handed the keys at the title company and then the really hard work began to restore a 50 year old home back to perfection. more_>>
We were skeptics, not sure we could slow down. But last winter we spent 110 wonderful days living aboard and anchoring in the Bahamas. That says everything about the 39's livability. Thanks, Krogen. view_>>
The pilothouse was the major feature we were looking for in a boat, a decision we made more than ten years ago. A Krogen was the boat we wanted when we retired, so the timing was right for the new 44. The hull is a very efficient design and doesn't take a lot of fuel to move it through the water at hull speed. more_>>
When starting the process to find our next boat, we knew it would be a lengthy process. It turned out to be five years. Firstly, we wanted a boat that was seaworthy - both to be forgiving when we made mistakes and to get us home should the weather turn unexpectedly. more_>>
We were looking for a yacht that was virtually bullet proof in terms of construction and ocean going ability. Secondly, we wanted a yacht that lived well and was comfortable, that did not have that factory assembly line finish, but rather, a solid yacht interior. We found what we were looking for in our new Krogen 58'. more_>>
After a relatively short stint boating on our express cruiser, we realized we did not have the need for speed. While we enjoyed being on the water, what we were really seeking was more comfort, livability and safety. Our quest began to find a suitable trawler yacht. more_>>
Why Buy A Kadey-Krogen Trawler? Or more specifically, why buy 3 Krogens? In a word, "Safety at Sea", and no one boat can do it all, but the Krogen full displacement trawlers does more things better. During my working life in Bellingham, Washington, in the early years, I had the opportunity to cruise the Pacific Northwest on vacations and holidays. more_>>
Since my purchase of Soul Tender (Krogen 39'), I have met and/or talked with a number of Krogen employees and I want to take the chance to offer my thanks, appreciation and praise about everyone that I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with as well as the company in general. more_>>
