New Model: Kadey-Krogen 55 Expedition

The new Kadey-Krogen 55 Expedition, sets a standard for long range full displacement trawler yachts offering rugged globetrotting capability and technologically advanced construction features, plus new exterior styling with a handsome sheer and a graceful raked bow. Innovative interpretations of Kadey-Krogen's home comfort and highly sociable interior spaces highlight this new design; the living area is nearly 25 percent larger than that of other comparably sized vessels. The new 55 is an expedition style with a range of over 3000 miles at 8 knots, or the equivalent of nonstop from Annapolis to Antigua at 9 knots. She has an ample fuel capacity of 1800 US gallons. Sure and steady twin John Deere 6068 TFM M1 Tier 2 engines power her, each achieving 158 HP. To support this propulsion, the under body features twin counter fared skegs, a Kadey-Krogen innovation for maximum efficiency. The balance of form and function in the 55 Expedition is evident as soon as you board. Characteristic of all Kadey-Krogen yachts, a roomy, comfortable and highly functional pilothouse serves as navigation area and living space. There is the fully covered aft deck from which to enjoy your surroundings whether you're entertaining guests, reading a book, or enjoying a snooze. Forward from the aft deck through welded aluminum weather tight doors is the saloon or, more aptly the living room as this space is a quarter larger than that of similar sized vessels. The port side galley remains amidships, directly adjacent to the saloon, so those who are prepping and cooking are still a part of the conversation. This galley is particularly well appointed with top-of-the-line appliances including a Viking range, Jennair refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and more. Moving below and forward, the interior space of the 55 Expedition allows both two cabin, or three cabin arrangement options. Each features the master stateroom forward to take advantage of natural light and fresh breezes. The master has a full head en suite that includes a spacious shower stall. A second head is opposite the starboard staterooms. Those familiar with Kadey-Krogen will recognize the natural flow and comfortable look and feel of the living quarters, as the 55 Expedition reflects the experience that only can be gained in 30 years of building live aboard passage making trawler yachts.
