With its twin 440 hp Yanmar diesels and plumb bow, the Krogen Express 52 has a 1,680-nautical-mile range at 8 knots. Double the pace, and range is 500 nm. The en suite master stateroom forward has 7 feet of headroom and an island queen berth. A guest stateroom (or office) is abaft the master to starboard. The 52’s hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline. At press time, there was one Krogen Express 52 available at $2.19 million.

“The 15-foot, 11-inch beam carries far forward, and,  combined with the raised bow section, gives the 52 a spacious interior for the cruising couple. The cherry finish is light and airy, and the boat feels more like a summer cottage. Ports in the forward face of the coachroof are a nice touch, bringing in fresh air and light. The guest stateroom reveals the 52’s long-distance, couple-cruiser mission.”
