2002 Kadey Krogen 58

Miller Time is an actively cruised trawler that is truly ready to go. The current owners decided to work aboard and go out cruising as a fun way to ease into retirement, and after a reasonable search settled on the Kadey Krogen 58 as their preferred trawler model. Purchased in 2017, Miller Time immediately went into a Fort Lauderdale, Florida shipyard to have deck hardware removed and the exterior painted — the start of an outstanding series of improvements. The owners have ventured along the US eastern seaboard from Maine to the Florida Keys, as well as enjoying vacations in the Bahamas. Miller Time is hull number 5 of the largest Kadey Krogen model — robustly constructed, smooth through the water with her fine bow entry and wine-glass transom. The interior has a uniform cherry wood finish with carpeting and window blinds, and the parquet soles and white overhead panels give her a regal feel. Capable of long-range continuous-duty travel, her raised pilothouse and twin John Deere engines enable owner-operators to run through the night for several days. Her two-stateroom, two-head layout is a comfortable floating home.

Miller Time is set up for one couple to operate and maintain her with the ability to invite another couple to come along. The aft outside deck (cockpit and starboard side deck) is lined with teak, and the widebody arrangement allows for a comfortable walkway connection from the cockpit, past the saloon and up the steps to the Portuguese bridge. The foredeck has built-in seating facing the bow and a ground tackle station forward, which collects the anchor chain under the Freeman hatch. The upper aft deck has tall stainless steel safety rails to fence off the dinghy and crane zone, and the upper patio deck is a place for sunning. Entering the living spaces through the cockpit you immediately appreciate the beautiful hue of the cherry wood. Miller Time is configured in the "Open Office" arrangement, which dedicates a stateroom-sized space for an office. The guest stateroom to starboard contains two single berths with a private head/shower attached forward; the owner stateroom is under the foredeck with a large island berth and private head/shower. There are two large machinery areas beneath the sole of the lower level, and the engine room is easy to enter with a path between the two engines and two generators.

Entering the saloon through French doors with glass viewing windows, you arrive into a social area with seating, dining and entertainment. There are two Ekornes chairs with ottomans to port with a custom glass octopus table, and an L-shaped settee to starboard. The saloon table can be adjusted to serve from two to eight guests, and there is a flat screen television with a lift to port. The flooring is carpeted, and the windows have screens, valances and blinds.

A few steps down from the entry level you arrive in a very wide space set up to be a workplace on the go — the area that designates this layout as the Open Office.

Surface area for spreading out is immense, with lockers and drawers to tuck things away, plus shelves for books and an opening portlight.

Connecting the living area is a straight hallway that runs from the engine room door up to the owner stateroom — wide and spacious, easy to transit.

The office machinery space includes air conditioning, fresh water, water tank, batteries, inverters and stabilizers; the owner machinery space has access to the forward bow thruster chamber and includes the watermaker, deck wash, holding tank and black water equipment.

Miller Time is a US Coast Guard documented vessel. The Krogen 58 is the flagship and largest model in the production line for the builder, who has been supplying cruising yachts for over forty years; approximately two dozen Kadey Krogen 58s have been crafted. If you want to cross oceans economically or gunkhole along the coastlines closer to shore, this model will favorably compare with other full-displacement long-range production trawlers like Selene and Nordhavn. The motion underway is outstanding, yielding a smooth, quiet and stable ride that thrives offshore. Miller Time has been a priority for her owners, who are always working on some project to make her better.
