DeFever 49 Pilothouse "Apres Vous"
$309,950
Step aboard Après Vous, a classic 1982 DeFever 49 Raised Pilothouse trawler that embodies the enduring vision of designer Art DeFever: seaworthiness, comfort, and long-range capability.
Renowned for its full-keel design and solid fiberglass hull, the DeFever 49 RPH offers exceptional stability and efficiency underway. The raised pilothouse configuration provides superb visibility and a smart division of living and navigation spaces--perfect for extended cruising. Twin Ford Lehman diesels power this vessel confidently, while the two-cabin layout, diesel heater, NEAR NEW Zenith genset (only 125 hours), and fully equipped galley ensure comfortable living at sea.
What sets Après Vous apart is not only its design pedigree but also the care it has received over decades. Maintained with precision by a detail-oriented owner, every system and surface reflects a commitment to reliability and pride of ownership. Safe to say, this is a reluctant sale.
With its generous interior volume, abundant storage, and thoughtful layout, Après Vous shines as a liveaboard. Whether moored at a marina or underway on a coastal adventure, it offers the space, amenities, and warmth to make every day aboard feel like home.
From its warm teak accents to its proven offshore performance, Après Vous is a standout example of DeFever's legacy -- and a rare opportunity for discerning mariners who dream of life afloat
