Long-range trawler research often begins with one number: published range. That number becomes useful only when the manufacturer also states the engine configuration, speed, load, and fuel reserve behind it.
The five models below are current examples with official manufacturer pages, checked on August 11, 2026. Their inclusion reflects current source availability, not a market ranking or a finding that any model suits a particular passage.
Five Long-Range Trawlers to Compare
These yachts span different lengths, hull types, speeds, tankage, and layouts. The manufacturers also publish their data in different ways. Read each model as its own source-backed profile before comparing the figures across rows.
North Pacific 49 Pilothouse
The North Pacific 49 Pilothouse specifications list a single Cummins QSB 355 hp engine. Higher-output single and twin options are also available. Standard fuel capacity is 700 gallons in two tanks, with 920 gallons optional.
NPY publishes a 7-10-knot cruising speed for the single-engine listing. Its 355 hp speed-versus-range chart uses the 920-gallon option and includes a 10% reserve. The chart conditions specify almost-full fuel and water, cruising load, and calm water.
The chart plots approximately 5,100 nautical miles at 5 knots and approximately 500 nautical miles at 11.5 knots. These are approximate readings from the plotted curve, not tabulated manufacturer values. They apply only to the stated 355 hp, 920-gallon configuration and test conditions.
North Pacific 590
Specifications for the North Pacific 590 list twin Cummins QSL9 405 hp engines, with larger twins and a single-engine option available. The page gives a 7-11-knot cruising speed and 1,800 gallons of fuel in three tanks.
No numeric range or range chart appears on the page. It also provides no load or reserve condition for range. Those fields remain unavailable, so this comparison does not infer a range from tankage, speed, or the general long-range description.
Accommodation context appears in the 590 overview, which lists pilothouse-and-flybridge or skylounge configurations. It also lists two-, three-, and four-stateroom layouts. Those choices help with accommodation research, but they do not supply the missing range data.
Grand Banks 65
The Grand Banks 65 page lists Flybridge and Skylounge versions. Its standard configuration uses two Volvo IPS 1350S engines rated at 1,000 hp each and carries 1,532 gallons of fuel.
Grand Banks reports a 31-knot cruise speed and a 35-knot top speed. It states that its standard-configuration figures came from half-load testing and that customization or different test conditions may change the results.
This official page contains a material range conflict. Its model highlights show 625 nautical miles at 20.8 knots, while its specification block shows 957 nautical miles at the same speed. That specification block also lists 33 gallons per hour. Neither range should serve as a settled comparison figure until the manufacturer clarifies the discrepancy.
Numarine 22XP
The Numarine 22XP is a full-displacement model with a published standard-engine listing of twin Cummins 425 hp diesels. Numarine also lists an optional twin MAN 1,200 bhp configuration.
With the Cummins listing shown in the same specification table, the page gives an 11-knot cruising speed and an 8-knot economic speed. Published maximum range is 1,200 nautical miles at 8 knots. The source does not state a reserve or connect its 62-ton full-load displacement to the range test.
The 22XP carries 1,585 gallons of fuel. Buyers can choose three or four guest cabins, with accommodation for six or eight guests plus two crew.
Sirena 68
The Sirena 68 page lists a semi-displacement hull and a Volvo D13 900 hp standard-engine entry. A two-engine 1,000 hp option is also shown.
Sirena publishes a 16-knot cruising speed and a 10-knot economy speed. At 10 knots, the page gives an approximate range of 1,200 nautical miles including a 10% reserve. It does not state the performance-test load or sea conditions.
Fuel capacity is 1,387 gallons. The standard layout has three cabins, with an optional crew cabin. These published layout and reserve details make the figure easier to interpret, though they still do not describe a specific voyage.
Comparing Published Range
Configuration and Test Conditions
Range changes with speed, loading, engine choice, fuel reserve, weather, and sea state. A figure from a half-load test differs from one that includes a stated reserve. Figures that omit both conditions leave more interpretation to the buyer.
Use the exact configuration first. Then ask the manufacturer or broker for the applicable performance curve, test protocol, fuel reserve, loading assumption, and any updates to the current product page.
For route planning, move from the brochure figure to measured consumption and usable fuel for the actual vessel. Our separate guide to fuel planning for long-range trawler cruising explains why nominal range and a trip fuel plan answer different questions.
Unavailable and Non-Comparable Data
The North Pacific 590 provides cruising-speed, engine, and tankage information but no numeric range. Grand Banks publishes two different range values. Numarine omits the range reserve and performance-test load, while Sirena states a reserve but omits the test load. The North Pacific 49 publishes a plotted curve rather than tabulated range values, so its figures remain approximate and configuration-specific.
Those gaps belong in the comparison.
What to Compare Beyond Nominal Range
Tankage and accommodations shape how owners use a yacht, but neither proves passage suitability. Compare the exact cabin plan, guest and crew berths, galley arrangement, storage, access, draft, and tender placement against the people and daily routines expected aboard.
Machinery also deserves configuration-level review. Confirm the installed engines, generator, stabilization equipment, electrical system, and optional packages on the actual hull under consideration. A product page may show several options without saying which one produced a performance figure.
Current condition matters for any individual yacht. Maintenance records, survey findings, modifications, payload, and equipment state can separate a specific boat from the standard model described online. These checks require records and inspection rather than conclusions from the model name.
Questions That Need Vessel- and Route-Specific Advice
Passage planning depends on the exact boat, loading, weather, sea state, fuel availability, operating limits, local requirements, and crew experience.
Systems sizing, spares, provisions, communications, emergency equipment, and reserve policy also require a defined vessel and itinerary. Review those questions with the relevant manufacturer, surveyor, qualified marine professionals, authorities, and an experienced captain as appropriate.
