Location: North Fort Myers, FL
Status: Turn-Key / Great Loop Ready
The Gold Standard for the Great Loop
Mainships are consistently the most popular choice for the Great Loop, and the 400 Model is widely considered the “best of breed.” #R Dream is quite simply the finest example of this model on the market today. Having been meticulously updated with modern technology and off-grid capabilities, she is ready to cast off tomorrow.

Unlike many underpowered trawlers, #R Dream features the preferred Twin Yanmar 240hp diesel configuration with only 1,200 original hours. This setup provides the perfect balance of fuel efficiency at displacement speeds and the raw power needed to cross the Gulf or outrun weather.
