Kadey-Krogen 52' 52

SEA HORSE is an exceptional Class A, full-displacement, long-range Kadey-Krogen trawler that has benefited from the dedicated stewardship of just two meticulous liveaboard owners since new. Maintained to an uncompromising standard, she presents in outstanding condition and is fully equipped for extended offshore cruising and self-sufficient living at anchor. Purpose-built for serious passagemaking, SEA HORSE has proven her capabilities through thousands of cruising miles, including extensive voyages throughout the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the successful completion of the Great Loop. Offering an impressive combination of offshore capability, thoughtful upgrades, and turnkey readiness, SEA HORSE represents a rare opportunity for discerning cruisers seeking a proven bluewater yacht with an exceptional ownership history.

Step into the expansive saloon through dual weathertight aluminum doors, which feature a retractable screen to bridge the gap between the interior and the teak aft deck. The starboard side is anchored by a generous U-shaped settee with hidden storage and a versatile cherry hi-lo table—sturdily secured for offshore travel and capable of seating eight for dinner.

To port, a pair of reclining chairs offers a quiet retreat near the forward bookcase and bar. The space is exceptionally bright, featuring five large opening windows with custom valances that provide superb cross-ventilation. For quiet evenings, a 48" Samsung UHD Smart TV rises on a lift behind the settee, complemented by Apple TV and a Blu-ray player.

Located forward on the starboard side, the galley seamlessly integrates with the saloon while remaining distinct, separated by a custom granite counter and backsplash. This 52' boasts a more open feel than any in its class; by removing traditional overhead cabinetry, the line of sight is completely unobstructed. Storage capacity is increased through a clever redesign. Four Sub-Zero drawer units replace bulky upright units, creating deep drop-down storage and additional preparation surfaces.

To port, a massive cabinetry suite offers a comprehensive pantry, drawers, and a dedicated buffet counter. A welded aluminum Dutch door provides direct access to the side deck for easy provisioning, all set against beautiful, warm cherry and ash flooring.

Major components in the galley include

• Sub-Zero drawer refrigerators and freezers (2 each, 4 total)

• GE® microwave/convection oven

• Blue Star 4-burner stove/oven

• GE® Dishwasher

• Elkay® stainless steel double basin galley sink with Grohe® faucet               

• Slide-out double trash bin for recycling convenience

• Pantry across from galley for easy access to storage

The forward master stateroom is a bright, tranquil retreat centered around a custom island king berth. Six points of ventilation—four large stainless-steel opening portlights and two overhead hatches with Oceanair Skyscreens—ensure the space feels expansive and airy. For added comfort, dual fans provide a gentle breeze. 

Storage is exceptionally well planned, featuring deep drawers beneath the berth and a cavernous area accessed via a pneumatic mattress lift. The suite is completed by two deep hanging lockers and a seven-drawer dresser beautifully accented with custom LED lighting.

The private ensuite head, located aft to port of the master stateroom, is an excellent example of functionality aboard. It features a spacious stall shower with a glass door and integrated molded seat, complemented by a granite-topped vanity with premium Grohe fixtures.

The space is equipped with a full-size Dometic porcelain freshwater toilet and ample storage, including two mirrored medicine cabinets and a dedicated linen locker. Two large opening stainless-steel portlights—one above the vanity and one in the shower—ensure the room is always bathed in natural light and perfectly ventilated.

Located to starboard and aft of the master, the guest stateroom features a rare, custom walk-around queen bed. This thoughtful layout is ideal for hosting guests or serving as a preferred midships berth for the owners during heavier sea states. The room is exceptionally functional, offering large drawers beneath the bed and additional cavernous storage accessed via a pneumatic lift. Two oversized opening portlights flood the space with natural light and provide excellent ventilation, making this cabin feel as inviting as a master stateroom.

The guest head, situated forward of the guest cabin, is designed with a dual-entry configuration that allows it to serve as both a private ensuite and a convenient day head. Guests in the starboard stateroom enjoy direct access, while a second door to the companionway provides convenient access for visitors or occupants of the third stateroom, without disturbing the sleeping quarters. 

This well-appointed head features a granite-topped vanity, a household-size Dometic porcelain toilet, and a separate stall shower with a glass door and molded seat. A stainless-steel opening portlight within the shower ensures the space is always bright and well-ventilated.

Located to port and forward of the galley, this versatile den serves as a peaceful retreat that easily transforms into a third stateroom. The space features a large, comfortable settee that converts into a guest berth, while a recessed ceiling track with a privacy curtain allows the area to be partitioned off from the companionway when needed. Storage is plentiful, with drawers beneath the berth and dual end tables. 

For younger travelers, a clever Pullman berth on the forward bulkhead provides a cozy sleeping nook, which also doubles as a convenient pull-down luggage rack. The area is bathed in natural light from two large stainless-steel portlights and accented by warm LED overhead lighting.

Just forward in the companionway, separate Bosch washer and dryer units are discreetly housed behind vented cherry doors.

Just a few steps up from the main deck, the pilothouse is the ship's nerve center. The helm is built for serious operation, featuring a wide and low command center for quick and easy access to the main controls, switches, and electronics. SEA HORSE also features a pair of heavy-duty LleBroc chairs with integrated joystick controls so the captain and mate can run the show side-by-side. Behind the controls, an Ultraleather L-shaped settee and folding pedestal table provide a solid workspace or an additional place to dine. On long hauls, the settee converts into a double watch berth. 

Dual Dutch doors on the port and starboard sides offer quick access to the decks and serious airflow. For docking in tight quarters, the Portuguese bridge is outfitted with twin wing stations, giving the captain total command and visibility from either side of the ship. SEA HORSE was engineered for scalability, allowing owners to integrate additional components based on their specific cruising requirements and range.
