2004 42' Pilgrim

The Good Ship is a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded 2004 Pilgrim Progress 42, a custom aluminum trawler built in Ontario, Canada and just returned from the completion of America’s Great Loop. Finished in a striking fresh red hull with sandstone topsides, she blends classic trawler character with rugged aluminum construction and a long list of meaningful upgrades aimed at comfort, reliability, and true cruising independence.

Designed for inland and near-coastal cruising, this Pilgrim offers a proven single-engine platform powered by a Caterpillar 3126, excellent range with 400 gallons of fuel, modern Garmin electronics at both helm stations, solar capability, and a well-sorted mechanical and electrical package. Inside, the layout is welcoming and highly livable, featuring a forward primary stateroom with private ensuite head, flexible guest accommodations, and a well-equipped galley suited for extended time aboard.

From her upgraded decks and ground tackle to her solar system, tender package, and recent mechanical attention, The Good Ship reflects ownership by cruisers who understood what matters when living aboard and traveling long distances. She is clean, dialed-in, and ready to cruise immediately—whether your plans include the Great Loop, coastal exploration, or comfortable full-time life on the water.
