1984 DeFever 44 Offshore Cruiser – Proven, Practical, and Ready for the Next Chapter
This 1984 DeFever 44 Offshore Cruiser is a classic long-range trawler designed by the legendary Arthur DeFever, renowned for building safe, seaworthy vessels that continue to attract knowledgeable cruisers worldwide. This particular hull has logged thousands of nautical miles through Central America, the Caribbean, and the Great Loop. I owned her from 2013 to 2018 and have known her since then. She is now offered for sale on behalf of her current owner, a retired physician who made the difficult decision to part with her due to unforeseen health issues.
Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a deep full-length keel and protected running gear, this DeFever 44 is exceptionally capable in open water. Her displacement hull, paired with Naiad stabilizers, ensures a stable and comfortable ride as well as impressive fuel economy on extended cruises.
Key Features:
The galley-up layout keeps the cook part of the conversation in the spacious salon. The full-beam aft master stateroom has an island queen berth, an ensuite head, and abundant storage. The forward guest stateroom features a V-berth and an adjacent head. The walk-in engine room has nearly stand-up headroom, which is rare for boats this size. The expansive flybridge offers excellent visibility and generous seating. The large covered aft deck is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or carrying gear. The expansive, secure walk-around decks are a hallmark of DeFever design. The boat is stabilized with Naiad fins for offshore comfort.
Whether you’re planning to live aboard, cruise the Great Loop, or head off to explore the islands, this DeFever 44 delivers the kind of comfort, durability, and pedigree few boats in this size range can match.
DeFever owners form a tight-knit, active online community, and with good reason—these boats are built to be used and appreciated. This is an excellent opportunity to own one of Arthur DeFever’s most beloved designs at a very reasonable price.
