2008 DeFever 56

The DeFever 56 design is one of the most popular long-range cruising trawlers in the world, and Tutto Bene (which reflects the owners' approach to life: "all good") is an exceptional version. This vessel is uniquely configured with a massive, light-filled saloon, a chef's galley, and a highly desirable three-cabin accommodation layout. The private master stateroom is midships with an island king-size walk-around berth, dedicated walk-in closet, and large port windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The ensuite head has an extra-large shower stall with granite vanity tops.

Powered by twin upgraded Caterpillar C7 main engines with raw water heat exchangers—a propulsion package that offers ultimate reliability and true mechanical redundancy—she employs Naiad active fin stabilizers to keep the crew comfortable on passage. Her premium Furuno TZ2 black glass navigation electronics package was a part of a comprehensive electronics retrofit that provides even the most discerning captain with a plethora of data at their touchscreen fingertips.

Air conditioning is designed for keeping her cool in tropical climates whether underway or at rest, backed by a 5-zone Cruisair climate control system. Dual Westerbeke 15 kW generators are as dependable as they come and are enclosed in sound shields.

For docking, she features an integrated Side-Power bow and stern thruster system, paired with a dual-band wireless Yacht Controller remote system that operates both engines and thrusters from anywhere on deck. Anchoring is first class, featuring a primary Rocna 55 anchor and a secondary Rocna 33 anchor controlled by a Maxwell 3500 electric windlass.

For in-cove transportation, she has a 2023 Walker Bay Generation 12 LTE rigid inflatable tender featuring a console and a 40 HP Yamaha four-stroke outboard with low hours. There is a Steelhead Marine ES1000 hydraulic crane for placing your toys efficiently into the water. The crane can deploy to starboard or just aft of the swim platform.

On the outside, she is all business. Her profile is easily recognizable by the prominent raised pilothouse design and Portuguese bridge. The flybridge command center features two premium Stidd helm chairs protected by a solid fiberglass hardtop that keeps you out of the elements and supports a flush-mounted solar array boasting 4 rigid solar panels configured in two neat rows.

From her classic white gelcoat finish to her interior designer touches, Tutto Bene is a classy trawler that has been updated with an exceptional, data-verified maintenance history.

The interior wood is a warm, rich teak with solid trim that is bathed in light from saloon windows. The welcoming entry invites you to a large saloon with a Flexsteel blue fabric sleeper couch, two matching cream leather swivel-rocker recliners with Tutto Bene embroidery on the headrests, and a beautiful hi-lo folding teak coffee/dining table. The interior soles are premium teak and holly, blending elegant styling with low-maintenance functionality.

The current owners have thoroughly enjoyed the trawler lifestyle and are ready for their next chapter, making Tutto Bene available for her next owners.

The vessel benefits from exceptional recordkeeping, with a comprehensive history tracked and verified through Vessel Vanguard. This digital system documents service history, repairs, upgrades, equipment manuals, vendor information, maintenance schedules, and operating records. This digital log is supplemented on board by an extensive collection of written, chronological binders detailing every receipt, service call, and manual update in exact sequence. This level of organization provides prospective buyers with valuable transparency into the vessel's care and reflects a proactive, detail-oriented ownership approach.

Tutto Bene is ready to set out again. You’ll find the keys at the helm, and the lines are ready to drop on your first day of ownership.
