Cherubini Independencee 50

Cherubini Independence 50 Trawler — INSPIRATION

Hull #1 • Featured in Power & Motoryacht Magazine. One of the finest, best maintained, and most extensively upgraded vessels in her class.

INSPIRATION reflects the legendary design and build standards of Cherubini Yachts (Delran, New Jersey), further elevated by a comprehensive, nearly total refit. Lee and Dave Cherubini are known for listening closely to experienced cruisers, blending the heritage of the Hans Christian powerboat line with modern engineering, comfort, and craftsmanship. The result is a capable, elegant, and exceptionally well built trawler.
