When American Tug started building yachts on the shores of Washington state back in late 1990s, their goal was simple: design a boat that combines the onboard comfort found in the recreational cruising market with the seakeeping ability of the commercial fishing vessels common to the waters of the Pacific Northwest. What they created was the blueprint for an ideal coastal cruising trawler.
American Tug trawlers combine durability, performance, and onboard comfort. Renowned for their robust construction, building vessels that are tough enough to stand up to the rugged waters that surround their factory in La Conner, Washington. Stepping aboard, owners will be greeted by thoughtful, confidence-instilling details like well-place handrails and beefy hardware.
American Tug yachts feature a semi-displacement hull design that provides an efficient and stable ride, thanks in part to hull chines that allow for a more stable ride and reduce roll at anchor and allows each boat to get up on plane on the after chine, while delivering economical cruising speeds in the high teens.
Inside, American Tug yachts provide the accommodations and livability that one would expect from a manufacturer that builds yachts intended for long stretches at sea. Owners will be greeted by staterooms with plentiful stowage, a home-like galley perfect for meal prep onboard, and a pilothouse that will make any helmsman feel right at home, whether heading out for a sunset cruise or an extended voyage down the coast.
Different layout and engine options give owners the ability to choose the boat that is perfectly suited for their cruising goals, and the vessels’ draft—well-suited for clearing bridges above and anchoring in skinny water below—provide owners with plenty of options when planning their cruising itinerary.
