Traveller II is a Ocean Series trawler designed by Bray Yacht Design and Research and built by Rodriguez Shipbuilders in Alabama. The yacht was designed and built to be an open water, long range cruising trawler so a cruising couple could get aboard and cruise to their dream destination without the fear of do we have enough boat for the task ahead.

The designers were smart in planning how to get around this trawler with the low transom access and large transom door, the wide side decks that make it easy to get around the vessel, a large cockpit "approximately 13' long x 18' wide that's perfect for the fishing person, the adventure person or dining alfresco on a warm summer evening. The trawlers interior is a very tasteful satin teak and space utilization is excellent. The owners suite is very comfortable and well appointed and the guests have private access to their own heads, there is also a day head in the pilothouse. The pilothouse and flybridge helm areas are also very accommodating for owners and guests.

This is a great offshore cruising vessel, designed to offer comfortable accommodations, long range cruising capabilities and has been caringly maintained by knowledgeable yacht folks.  

Bray Yacht Design Website - Comment about the Ocean Series 76

This steel PassageMaker is a serious long distance cruisers. The heavy scantlings and tough material is ideal for a vessel that may take some tough knocks over a long lifetime of travel.

This vessel structure exceeds ABS Rules for Unrestricted Offshore use and has both a collision bulkhead and watertight bulkheads. The bulbous bow and speed nozzle all contribute to make this vessel more fuel efficient than most vessels as well as giving a very stable ride.

The spacious interior has walk around decks with a large cockpit. The engine room has full standing headroom and is located aft. There are two large refrigerated fish holds for the serious fisherman. The Owner's stateroom is full width and has it's own spacious bathroom with separate shower. Amidship are the guess staterooms with crew accommodation forward. At the foot of the stairs are the washer and dryer. On the main deck is a separate pilothouse with large settee, day head, large galley, dinette, and main salon. The flybridge has lots of storage area and room for a big tender.

Brokers comments

The information provided is not complete as of April 5th, 2024. We are working to gather and finalize the information and will update the listing as soon as possible.

Note: Most or all of the service and equipment records for Traveller II, going back to 2007/2008 to current are on the vessel. In 2018 the owners took the vessel to Delta Marine, to have service work completed as well as having it completely painted, including the hull-house and flybridge. The bottom was also painted. The captain who looks after the vessel did an ultrasound on the hull which turned out to be in good condition at that time.
