A delightful trailerable pocket cruiser/trawler MARTLET is a 1999 British Hunter Landau 20' purchased new at 2000 Annapolis Boat Show by the current owners. The style and layout remind one of her US-built cousins the extremely popular Ranger Tug and Rosborough trailerable cruisers. MARTLET has been exceptionally well cared for and is in very good condition. Having cruised all over the east coast and Canada. Easily trailered allows for exploring distant cruising locations. Her shallow draft is ideal for the back waters yet with her tunnel hull design she is UK rated C coastal cruising. 30Amp shore power allows for dockside overnighting or RV park on the road camping in air-conditioned comfort. MARTLET has a full cockpit canvas (2022) creating a “back porch” protected space. Owners have maintained MARTLET to the highest standards including re-powered with a 2006 Honda 90hp outboard, hull has been repainted with “Awlgrip” Aristo blue, bottom was soda blasted in 2023 with 2 coats of epoxy barrier coat and antifouling. AC and DC electric control panels. There is a complete boat cover with frames and hull side covering for winter storage on her trailer. Designed with a common objective to accommodate the best of the land-sea lifestyle, trailerable pocket cruisers seem a natural fit in the world of trawlers.
