Founded in 1977, Kadey-Krogen Yachts is a manufacturer of long-range capable, recreational trawler yachts in the U.S.[1] Their vessels are closely linked in naval design to the historic fishing trawlers of the North Sea and have the capability to cross any ocean.
Defining aspects of the Kadey-Krogen trawler yacht are a pure full displacement hull, a fine forward entry, a wineglass transom, a fully covered aft deck which functions as the back porch, and high quality interior joinery predominantly in teak or cherry with other selections available.
Owners of Kadey-Krogen trawler yachts have reported crossing the Atlantic,[2] Pacific and Indian oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Kadey-Krogen is headquartered in Stuart, Florida, with other offices in Annapolis, Portsmouth, RI and Seattle.
Unlike the majority of boat manufacturers, the company does not use a dealership network, but instead works directly with customers.
