Safe, strong and stable, the N37 can cruise anywhere. It is easily handled by a crew of two, and provides all the comforts of home. The shallow-draft hull design is ideally suited for exploring inland and coastal waterways, island hopping and gunkholing in harbors off limits to deeper draft vessels. But the N37 has also proven itself on long ocean passages including trips to Bermuda, Hawaii and the Caribbean. The hull's low profile creates less windage, an advantage at anchor and when docking. And by positioning the majority of weight at or below the waterline, the boat also enjoys excellent stability, and delivers one of the most comfortable rides of any trawler. Even with the optional flying bridge, the N37 offers a relatively sleek profile. Both models feature an inside helm and navigation area that is designed for comfortable passage making in all weather conditions, along with wide walk-around decks with substantial railings that allow crew members to move fore and aft easily and safely.

The N37 is ideally sized for a couple with occasional guests. It features a large owner's stateroom that takes advantage of the hull's wide beam carried forward. A queen-sized island berth is surrounded by rich, warm wood cabinets and two large hanging lockers. An overhead hatch and two opening ports provide ample natural light and ventilation.
The large head features a full-sized stall shower that one might expect in a home rather than boat of this size. As one owner said, "finally, a shower I can actually stand up and move around in." The second stateroom is normally arranged with a settee and desk to serve as an office or den. Full-time liveaboards appreciate this extra space, which provides an area away from the main saloon to enjoy favorite hobbies and activities, or serve as a on-board office. The settee easily converts to a double berth for guests. |

The N37's galley never fails to generate "oohs" and "aahs" at boat shows because it's more like a cottage kitchen than a typical boat galley. This open space provides an abundance of counter space, cabinets and drawers. It also features full-sized home appliances including a 23-cubic foot stainless refrigerator-freezer, an all-electric, 4-burner cooktop stove, and a stainless microwave-convection oven.
The extended counter top, which has room for two bar stools, is a popular place for socializing with the cook, or enjoying a quick meal on those occasions when you don't want to move up in the saloon. The kitchen area also contains a combination washer/dryer that is vented overboard, and there is room to add a top-loading freezer and a trash compactor. |

In the main saloon, a double navigator's seat on the port side faces forward to a large chart table. To starboard is the helm seat, steering station and panels for electronics and engine instrumentation. The saloon area can be fitted with an L-shaped settee and high/low table or a raised dinette area that converts to a double berth when needed. The comfortable starboard settee is the perfect place to curl up with a good book or just relax and take in the scene.
There's a big surprise waiting for you below the cabin sole. Open the hatch and step down into the huge, walk-in bosun's locker where there's room to stow enough cruising supplies for extended voyages or full-time living aboard. On deck, the protected cockpit accommodates deck chairs and a small table, and provides access to the full-beam swim platform. The deckhouse features a large roof area that can carry a 12-foot dinghy or a variety of watercraft such as kayaks or sailing dinghies. Adding a flying bridge leaves enough space on the aft boat deck for a 12-foot RIB with engine. The upper station features a center mounted helm chair and console, with room for electronics. It is flanked by a pair of 6 1/2 foot cushioned benches that provide ample seating and extra storage capacity. The wide side decks and expansive foredeck are surrounded by sturdy waist-height railings that lead to a stout bow pulpit. A dual capstan windlass is set up to accept two anchors, and the chain locker will house two 200-foot lengths of 5/16" chain. |

The walk-in engine room boasts standing headroom at the workbench area and easy access to all mechanical equipment. Like all Great Harbours, the N37 features twin diesel engines for redundancy. There is plenty of room to install a generator and watermaker as well as stow spare parts, fluids and tools. Everything is clearly labeled, and all equipment is arranged so that it can be serviced by the owner.
With its twin diesel engines, the N37 cruises comfortably and quietly between 7.25 and 7.5 knots burning approximately 2.2 gallons per hour total. With its 500-gallon fuel capacity, this provides a safe range of 1,500 miles. Some owners with watermakers have had us convert one of the 150-gallon water tanks to an extra fuel tank, thus adding another 400-500 miles to the vessel's range. |
The Great Harbour N37, which combines safety, liveaboard comfort, economical operation, ease of maintenance and go-anywhere capability, has proven to be one of the most popular trawlers on the market.
