M/Y Blue Sunset
A 1985 Roughwater 36-footer refreshed in 2023 and ready to run.
"Blue Sunset" is a 1985 Roughwater 36' trawler offered for sale at $49,900, lying Miami, Florida. A trawler is a small ship, and its value lives in the systems - tankage, stabilization, electrical capacity, and engine health decide whether the long-range dream works, which makes independent buyer representation essential on this category.
Power is twin Detroit Twin 671 Detroit Turbo, 300 hp each, showing 840 hours. She cruises around 8 knots and tops out near 10 knots, carrying 460 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 2 staterooms for 4 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 1. She carries naval architecture by Ed Monk Jr. and interior by ROUGHWATER.
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 "Blue Sunset"?
"Blue Sunset" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.
What does it cost to run a 36-foot trawler?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 36-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.
Where can I see "Blue Sunset"?
She is lying in Miami, Florida 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.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 8 knots, top speed about 10 knots and 460 gallons of fuel with twin Detroit Twin 671 Detroit Turbo, 300 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
