Great Harbour GH47
Production on the GH47 is currently suspended, as the company is devoting all resources to the TT35 project and N series models. The information on these pages is provided as a service to our current owners and the brokerage community. The GH47 remains a popular choice in the pre-owned boat market. In support of this market, we provide listing services and buyer's agent representation through our Great Harbour Brokerage arm. As the builder, we are able to report the most current and accurate information on each GH model built. Contact us to learn more.
The Great Harbour GH47 is designed for those who want an extra helping of living space and home-like comfort. Not only does this boat provide an incredible amount of interior volume, it uses that space in many creative ways. No other trawler on the market in this size range so perfectly answers the needs of full-time liveaboards.
Like all Great Harbour Trawlers, the GH47's first priority is safety. It begins with an unsinkable hull, made possible by the use of a buoyant core material in the decks, superstructure and hull area above the rub rail. If the unthinkable happens, the vessel is designed to remain afloat until help arrives or until the crew can safely transfer to a life raft. Below the rub rail, the solid fiberglass construction is heavy and robust - designed to withstand severe impacts including an inadvertent grounding. The dual props are protected by twin keels, which will allow the boat to be dried out on her own bottom. Unlike so many other full displacement trawlers, the GH47 is powered by twin diesels, which add a huge margin of safety and reliability, especially when cruising far from boat yards or civilization.
Available with an optional flying bridge, the GH47 makes incredible use of vertical space. Starting at the top, the flying bridge includes an aft deck area accessed via exterior centerline steps that lead from the pilothouse deck level. There's built-in seating, a centerline helm and a full electronics console. Owners may elect to add a barbecue grill, wet bar and refrigerator/ice maker. A large RIB can be stowed on the aft boat deck

The upper deck features a dedicated pilothouse where the crew will often gather during passages. Its expansive helm area and navigation station are inspired by the bridges of commercial vessels. The captain will appreciate the thoughtful design of the electronics console, as well as the ample space allocated for using and stowing paper charts and cruising guides. The pilothouse's elevated position provides a commanding view of the waterway. Behind the helm, a raised settee and table provides seating for four, and converts to an extra-long double berth. Aft of the settee is a spacious watch cabin complete with a day head and double berth. This cabin is ideal for treating guests to their own private cabin with an incredible view of their surroundings. |
By taking full advantage of the vessel's wide beam, the spacious main saloon can be arranged in a variety of ways. Details include built-in seating for six to eight, end tables, a widescreen entertainment center, bookshelves and a hi-lo dining table, all beautifully finished with rich, wood detailing that is in warm contrast to the off-white bulkhead surfaces. Large, opening windows provide excellent light and visibility, and when weather permits, they can be opened to provide plenty of fresh air.
Just forward of the saloon is the signature Great Harbour galley, which is more likely to be called a kitchen. The space is open to the saloon, and fully equipped with home-size appliances, including a front-loading refrigerator, ceramic cook top stove and even a dishwasher. The abundance of storage and counter space enhances the cheery, airy atmosphere. This will have the most ardent landlubbers dreaming about life as a full time liveaboard.
Across from the galley is the owner's choice of a dinette for six or a machinery utility room. The engine room has standing headroom and offers easy access to all sides of both engines as well as all machinery and systems. A seawater chest eliminates all but one through-hull for added safety and peace of mind.
A guest/study with a settee/berth is to port, and a huge guest head with a homestyle bath is to starboard. Some owners have outfitted the guest/study as a fully equipped office. Forward is the grand master stateroom with a queen island berth, three large hanging lockers (or closets), and beautifully built-in dressers and bookshelves. A master head is complete with a generously sized stall shower. |
Overall, there is an amazing amount of space in the GH47, probably more than in most 60-65 foot yachts. Thanks to our skilled workers and our factory-direct sales, our owners can work closely with us in customizing their Great Harbour to fit their personal needs and taste. The standard tankage provides a safe range of 3500 nautical miles at its cruising speed of 8.25 knots. By installing a watermaker, one of the 350-gallon water tanks can be converted to carry fuel, increasing the range to well over 4,000 miles.
With its impressive range, naturally stable hull form and shallow draft, the GH47 can take its owners anywhere from inland waterways to international ports of call in both comfort and safety, while providing all the comforts of home.
