The owner desires a 100% family & fun yacht which will become the first Vripack Trawler to be built in the new upcoming market in Brazil, making it 2-1 for Brazil!

The layout of the steel Trawler 1700 yacht with aluminum superstructure was designed in close deliberation with the owner. His wishes were clear: large exterior living areas to provide maximum outdoor pleasure and functional storage for several water sport accessories.

The flybridge is equipped with a newly designed radar arch and bimini above the outdoor steering position and comfortable L-seat. Aft a dinghy and sailing boat can be stored beside the crane. Along the stainless steel safety railing, Vripack has created plenty of space for surf board storage.

In the Salon on the main deck a large lounge area is situated together with a spacious galley and, just a few steps up, the professionally built wheelhouse. On the fore deck one will find a large lounge area and aft a comfortable sun protected area with a large family bench and access to the swimming platform.

The interior is designed to accommodate a family and their guests in separate cabins with several bathrooms. The lower deck is divided in to an Owners cabin with spacious bathroom in front, a portside Vip cabin with twin bed, a starboard Guest cabin with bunk bed and a separate bathroom with day head. Aft is situated a large lazarette for inflatable gadgets with integrated passarelle and a large electric hatch for easy entrance to the engine room.

The modern appearance of the Vripack 17m luxury yacht Trawler 1700 is created by the higher bulwark, the glued in windows for a more sturdy appearance and by removing the traditional dodger. This vessel with high flared bow sections is propelled by two diesel engines and with her specially designed lines plan, this semi-displacement vessel reaches a maximum speed of 12 knots.
