Krogen Express In The News
Boat Tour At A Glance
Krogen Express 52
The newly reintroduced Krogen Express is one of those boats that has always fit into the trawler niche ever so comfortably. Yes, it is a faster boat than many of the other traditional boats, but it achieves speed with class and style. “Elegant” is not a word typically used to describe a
fast cruising boat, but the Krogen Express is every bit that kind of boat. And traditionalists love the looks.
A semi-displacement hull shape that complements the full displacement trawler line of Kadey-Krogen Yachts, the Express is a thoroughly modern boat, with looks that are based on the commuter yachts of the last century.
It is a shining example of Taiwan’s crafted blend of traditional and contemporary.
The 52-footer is capable of running at 20 knots with standard twin 440hp diesels but is relaxed and composed in the midteens. It has the feel of a traditional trawler, with beautiful cherry joinerwork and rich furniture, but Krogen has found a nice balance of liveaboard cruiser.
The key to this is hull shape, as its displacement of over 44,000 pounds is more than that of many other fast boats, yet it slips through the water easily. Such is the magic of the Krogen design team.
