About
1988 Overseas Monk 42 Trawler – Upgraded, Capable & Loop-Ready This Trawler offers the ideal blend of classic trawler styling and meaningful updates where it counts. With a proven Taiwan-built hull, wide beam, and efficient twin diesels with low hours, she delivers a stable, comfortable ride suited for coastal cruising, the Great Loop, or extended liveaboard use. A standout feature is her shallow 3.5’ draft and approx. 24’ air draft, opening up cruising grounds many trawlers her size can’t access. She’s spent most of her life in fresh water on the St. Johns River and has been owned by a retired engineer for the past 12 years, reflecting consistent, knowledgeable care. From 2014–2026, the vessel has seen extensive maintenance and upgrades, including key mechanical servicing, running gear updates, steering work, and continual system improvements (A/C, pumps, batteries). She is turn-key and ready to go.
Low-maintenance design featuring no teak decks and minimal exterior wood—reducing upkeep and maximizing time on the water. The aft cabin is another standout, offering a desirable centerline queen berth not commonly found on comparable vessels. Additional highlights include a full flybridge enclosure, rare for the South, wide walkarounds, and a warm teak interior well-suited for comfortable cruising or liveaboard life.
