Next Chapter

Trawlers Next Chapter

Next Chapter is a well-maintained 2003 Heritage East 42 Sundeck that blends comfort, capability, and practicality. Her 2-stateroom, 2-head layout makes her an excellent choice for extended cruising or living aboard, offering a spacious interior with a thoughtfully arranged main cabin that includes the salon, galley, and dinette. The forward guest stateroom provides comfortable accommodations, while the full-beam aft master stateroom features an island queen berth for optimal owner comfort.

Powered by reliable twin Cummins 220 HP engines, Next Chapter is also equipped with a Northern Lights 8 kW generator, a Weaver tender davit system, and an Achilles HB315LX inflatable RIB with a 15 HP Yamaha 2-stroke outboard. Raymarine electronics provide capable navigation.

The flybridge is both functional and inviting, protected by a bimini top and full isinglass enclosure—an ideal space for cruising or entertaining. The spacious sundeck offers another comfortable area for relaxing, dining, or socializing.

Well-equipped, reliable, and proven underway, Next Chapter is fully prepared for her next adventure.
