While each vessel is truly a custom build, this particular hull, 2009 Diesel Duck 41-Plus “Zeta” is in excellent condition and has been well-maintained by just 2 owners since she was constructed. Following construction, Zeta was shipped by the original owner from Turkey to Florida and after limited use, was sold and and eventually brought over to San Diego to cruise the West Coast. As the story often goes, the current owner’s plans have changed, and so this offering will make a great opportunity for the next owner. If you are looking for a rugged, elegant, and seaworthy vessel that can take you anywhere in the world, the Diesel Duck 41-Plus is a great choice for you.

El Diesel Duck 41-Plus es un trawler diseñado para navegantes que priorizan la eficiencia y la capacidad de navegación sobre el lujo. Su casco de acero robusto está diseñado para soportar condiciones difíciles, ofreciendo una excelente estabilidad en el mar gracias a su diseño de casco desplazante. Aunque su velocidad de crucero de 7 nudos es modesta, su autonomía de 2188 millas náuticas es impresionante, lo que lo hace ideal para travesías largas. El diseño interior es funcional, con una cabina y un baño, adecuado para vivir a bordo. Sin embargo, el espacio en la cubierta es limitado para actividades recreativas, y su estética es más utilitaria que lujosa. Recomendaría una inspección detallada del sistema eléctrico, las juntas de las ventanas y las partes metálicas para asegurar que estén en buen estado. En general, el Diesel Duck 41-Plus ofrece un buen valor para aquellos que buscan un barco duradero y eficiente para exploraciones oceánicas.
