1979 SEA RANGER 45 PILOTHOUSE TRAWLER (LOA 52’) DESIGNED BY ED MONK | BUILT BY C&L MARINE (TAIWAN)
Introducing Saint Tropez — a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded Sea Ranger 45 Pilothouse, designed by the legendary Ed Monk and built by C&L Marine in Taiwan. With a LOA of 52 feet, this classic trawler combines timeless craftsmanship with modern enhancements, making it an exceptional Great Loop cruiser or full-time liveaboard.
Powered by a pair of ultra-reliable Volvo Penta 135 HP diesel engines, she offers efficient, long-range cruising at a comfortable and economical pace. Her spacious interior features a versatile 2-stateroom, 2-head layout, with an abundance of natural light and generous headroom throughout.
One standout feature rarely found in boats of this class is the on-deck day head, located just off the salon — a true convenience while underway or entertaining. The galley to port has been upgraded with new quartz countertops, and includes ample storage, a large refrigerator/freezer, and an additional beverage fridge — all designed for long-term cruising comfort.
The pilothouse offers protected, all-weather helm access with updated navigation electronics, and leads to a flybridge via interior stairs. Up top, you’ll find a commanding second helm, dinghy cradle and davit, and an expansive deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining. (Dinghy sold separately.)
Recent upgrades include:
- New bow & stern thrusters
- New Sunbrella flybridge bimini
- Updated salon air conditioning
- New navigation electronics, cameras, and electrical system
- Freshly treated teak decks and railings
- Quartz countertops in the galley
- …and so much more! (See full details list)
Saint Tropez is perfect for owner-operators seeking a capable, well-built trawler with a solid ride, generous covered walkaround decks, and the flexibility of both upper and lower helm stations.
Sale includes a full library of technical documents, manuals, wiring diagrams, and safety equipment. Personal items, dishes, glassware, cutlery, towels, tools, and general miscellaneous spare are not included. However, a comprehensive collection of spare engine, generator, and boat-specific replacement parts will be included.
This is a rare opportunity to own a trawler that’s turn-key and ready for your next adventure.
