KNOT QUITTERS is a delightful example of an easy-to-cruise pilothouse trawler that blends classic trawler styling with practical, modern capabilities. Symbol Yachts has long been respected among enthusiasts for building vessels with thoughtful layouts, spacious interiors, and plenty of cruising ability. To this day, the 45 Pilothouse remains one of the most capable trawlers in her class.

Her single diesel engine and solid semi-displacement hull deliver efficient cruising at approximately 8 knots, with the ability to reach speeds up to 11.5 knots when desired. Close-quarters handling is made easy thanks to hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, giving any captain confidence while docking or maneuvering in tight marinas.

The wide walkaround decks, sturdy handrails, and thick gunwales, allow for safe and comfortable movement throughout the vessel. It’s a practical pilothouse, spacious flybridge, and relaxing aft deck…and under 50ft. An ideal layout for any serious cruisers.
