Mural 85

A cold-moulded mahogany hull is a craftsman's choice on a modern trawler, and it sets the tone for how Mural 85 is meant to be lived aboard: unhurried, built for distance rather than sprint speed. Mural Yachts delivered her in 2022, and she is offered for sale from Marmaris.

Build and provenance

She is the yard's semi-displacement trawler design, a monohull built in cold-moulded mahogany rather than fibreglass or composite, a construction method chosen for the timber itself rather than for speed of build. At 26 metres with a 7.1-metre beam, her semi-displacement hull is built for range and steady progress rather than a sprint to plane.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, a layout suited to distance cruising and long stretches aboard rather than a weekend circuit close to port. Mural 85 is built as a motor yacht in the explorer style, the kind of boat set up for going somewhere rather than staying close to a home marina.

Performance and engineering

Her engines and speed are not part of the confirmed record, and nothing here stands in for that. What is certain is her hull form: semi-displacement, timber-built, and shaped to hold a steady pace over distance rather than to sprint. That combination points to a yacht suited to longer stretches under way, with the cabins and the mahogany finish there to make the miles comfortable rather than short.

Where she lies and how to see her

Mural 85 lies in Marmaris. Boatcrowd sets up viewings there and is present for each one; once an offer on her is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.
