2001 Maple Bay 32' Trawler

Step aboard this Maple Bay 32 and the first thing you notice is the purposeful, no-nonsense layout. The sedan house keeps everything on one level from cockpit to helm, so moving around underway feels secure and natural. Large windows flood the saloon with light and give you a 360° view when you’re threading into a tight anchorage. The wide side decks and tall rails make line handling and fender work relaxed instead of acrobatic. A proper full-length keel and skeg-hung rudder invite you to nose into shallow coves and rugged working harbors with confidence, and the protected running gear is a real comfort if you cruise in debris-strewn or rock-studded waters.

A Maple Bay 32 really shines in waters where the forecast can shift from flat calm to lumpy chop in a single afternoon. The sedan trawler profile offers a low center of gravity and excellent visibility for weaving through channels, crab pots, and busy mooring fields. The efficient diesel and displacement hull reward slow, economical miles on longer passages between anchorages. Keel cooling and stout underwater protection suit areas with floating logs, sandbars, and the occasional surprise shoal. With covered spaces, easy deck access, and a hull built to track straight in a beam sea, this design feels tailored to the mixed conditions and varied cruising grounds you’ll find here.
