Description

Charley | 2001 Mainship 430 Trawler

Three staterooms, galley-up layout, and extensive recent updates.

Charley combines comfortable cruising accommodations with recent improvements throughout her interior, exterior, and onboard systems. The boat shows absolutely beautiful with its recent interior refit. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 diesels with approximately 1,950 hours, she offers two helm stations, wide walkaround decks, and two heads with separate showers.

The full-beam aft owner’s stateroom features a walkaround berth, ensuite head, and generous storage. A forward V-berth and separate portside bunk room provide two private guest cabins. In the bright salon, opening windows and doors welcome fresh air, while the galley-up arrangement keeps everyone together. Recent updates include quartz countertops, sinks, faucets, salon upholstery, a leather swivel chair, and a convection microwave.

For cruising beyond the marina, Charley is equipped with a Sea Recovery watermaker, Victron 3000VA inverter/charger, and Starlink. Ground tackle includes a 39-kilogram stainless steel plow anchor, 150 feet of all-chain rode, and a Maxwell electric windlass. An upgraded davit system carries a 2019 Inmar tender powered by a 20HP Suzuki with power tilt.

The flybridge features refreshed cushions, two additional swivel captain’s chairs, and a large Bimini. Below, the protected lower helm offers convenient side-door access to the decks. From updated living spaces to recently serviced cruising equipment, Charley’s improvements are detailed below.
