“FULL CIRCLE” is a wonderfully maintained example of the ever-popular CHB 34’ Double-Cabin Trawler—a timeless design built in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, known for its steady handling, warm teak interiors, and remarkable fuel economy. This vessel has enjoyed continual care and thoughtful upgrades while preserving the classic trawler charm.
Powered by the legendary 120hp Ford Lehman diesel, she cruises comfortably at 7 knots burning only ~2.5 GPH, offering true long-range capability at a cost that’s hard to beat. Maneuvering in close quarters is made exceptionally easy thanks to both bow and stern thrusters—a rare and valuable feature on a vessel of this vintage.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious two-stateroom layout with two lavatories, a bright salon, updated upholstery, and an efficient galley equipped for extended time aboard. The aft cabin provides excellent privacy, while the forward V-berth and convertible dinette offer comfortable accommodations for family or guests.
Notable recent updates include a 2022 Webasto diesel furnace, 525W solar array, upgraded electrical systems, newer batteries, modern Garmin UHD2 GPS, and fresh bottom paint and zincs in Spring 2025.
If you are seeking a classic, economical, and well-cared-for trawler with practical cruising upgrades FULL CIRCLE deserves a close look.
6 month covered slip sublease available with the purchase of the FULL CIRCLE
