ORDER NOW WITH YOUR CHOICE OF EQUIPMENT The NEW 48 SYMBOL LR Classic Pilothouse Fast Trawler was developed for navigators wanting the advantages of a pilothouse with the ability to travel at higher speeds. The additional speed allows more distance to be covered during daylight hours and to avoid bad weather. A fast cruiser can go slow with a similar fuel burn of a slow trawler, but a slow trawler cannot go fast.

Forward and aft powerful thrusters with wireless remote control make your docking easy. The semi-displacement hull will accommodate single or twin diesels, providing you with performance and range.


This 48 Symbol Classic, with a timeless traditional profile with the protection of a Portuguese bridge and is built without exterior teak to reduce your maintenance. The custom wood interior provides the luxury of satin finished teak wood with excellent joinery that SYMBOL is known for.
Covered cockpit, forward deck and fly bridge are designed to afford more outdoor space for a BBQ, entertaining or just relaxing. Easy cockpit entrance to the engine room keeps the interior cleaner.


The semi wide-body design projects a salon of a much larger yacht. With wide sliding S/S door the cockpit becomes an extension of the salon, large windows provide maximum light and ventilation. The gourmet galley opens to the salon with a spacious "U" shaped design counter top, spacious storage cabinets and full size appliances.


Amidships is the owner's stateroom featuring an island queen size berth, en-suite head with separate shower. Forward stateroom has two single berths, optional double berth or optional twin staterooms with four berths, hanging locker, drawers and storage lockers. Passageway outside of staterooms feature guest head and separate shower. Staterooms and heads have more than ample storage.


Because the raised pilothouse is the center of activity while under way, we have incorporated several design features; P & S doors, easy access interior stairs to fly bridge, raised "L" shaped dinette/berth with storage below, teak table, comfortable helm seat, drawer/cabinet storage, large counter top navigation area P & S, large low profile electronics console, overhead console and large windows.

Symbol Yacht Co., Ltd., family owned since 1982, is an ISO 9001 manufacturer, building yachts under the management system approved by "Det Norske Veritas" (DNV).


Island hopping, exploring the approximate 87,581 miles of U.S. coastline or docked, we believe the NEW 48 SYMBOL CLASSIC PILOTHOUSE will become an exciting adventure. This 48 Classic is a great boat for cruising the "Great Loop" with her air draft of only 14' to top of flybridge venturi.
