The Buccaneer 40 is the shortened version of the Buccaneer 46. Like its smaller siblings it probably has the largest hull volume and deck area in its class as a 12 metre GRP boat which enables it to have a maximum carrying capacity of approximately 12 tonnes. With its generous 17 foot beam which extends for’ard and aft it has a completely clear and spacious working deck. It has a broad transom and a flared French style bulbous bow which makes for dry boat. The bulbous bow aids fuel efficiency and also helps to minimise plunging in a head sea. The design has a generous freeboard which allows for a 12 tonnes vivier tank amidships if required. The layout can be for a forward or aft wheelhouse arrangement with space for a comfortable crew cabin.
The engine room has space for not only the main engine but for an auxiliary generator set and fuel tanks. With a forward engine room the bulbous bow provides internal space for a lay-shaft and a bow thruster. This design is well suited as a Ring Netter, Gill Netter, Trawler or Vivier Crabber.
Together with the other boats in our range the Buccaneer 40 is available as either a part assembly or can be completed to your requirements by our highly skilled staff.
