The Buccaneer 46 is the largest GRP fishing vessel available actually built in the UK. It has a hull volume and deck area which is the greatest in its class as a 14 metre GRP boat which enables it to have a maximum carrying capacity of approximately 18 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 a 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 16 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 46 is available as either a part assembly or can be completed to your own requirements by our highly skilled staff.
