New Construction, Semi-Custom built to order
Use different engines. Design your own interior layout!

The Ruby Aft Cabin Passagemaker 75 is a full displacement trawler capable of traveling the world in safety and comfort. The raised pilothouse and Portuguese bridge are both stylish and functional. The optional enclosed fly bridge adds a whole other perspective to cruising and sightseeing while staying out of the weather.

Space has been designed into this vessel to provide accommodations for eight people plus all the facilities expected by today’s cruising yachtsman. The Master Stateroom is located Aft to afford a larger size and greater privacy. The VIP Stateroom is Forward, and two Guest Staterooms are Amidships. Each stateroom has its own Head and Shower.

The engine room has standing headroom and more than sufficient space to hold all the machinery necessities one needs to feel at home on the water. Single screw or twin, it will all fit in there with room to spare.

The hullform incorporates the latest thinking from Bruce Roberts Design when it comes to passagemaking trawler yachts, including: a single chined hull to reduce rolling, a higher prismatic coefficient to allow increased speeds when required, bilge fins which can be combined with active fins to dramatically reduce rolling and an optional bulbous bow to further reduce pitching. Combine these new features with the tried and true integrated spray flat in her hull, to knock down spray and to lift the bow in head seas or while running down a swell, and a full keel and balanced rudder assembly; you now have the latest and best in underbody passagemaker design. For those whose cruising area requires a shallow draft vessel, we can reduce the draft to about 4’ using prop tunnels.

As a Custom Builder, we are always open to client input and changes regarding size, design, layout and accommodations. We want each new vessel to be a true Nautical Statement matching the desires and needs of its owner.

The Ruby Aft Cabin Passagemaker 75 will be certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in accordance with American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) standards, as well as other certifications as required to accommodate the requirements of various locales.
