Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus spent more than 20 years as a professional captain living with exactly these ship systems offshore, and evaluates a trawler the way an operator does: range at load, machinery health, and maintenance discipline before cosmetics. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

Who is selling "Red October"?

What does it cost to run a 50-foot trawler?

Where can I see "Red October"?
She is lying in Redwood City, California and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
