Northern Marine
Anacortes yard building composite long-range trawler yachts, built using commercial fishing-boat methods for owner-operator cruising. In the mid-2000s it built tri-deck yachts up to about 46 m. Since Seattle Yachts bought it in 2019, it has returned to smaller raised-pilothouse models, with the first 57 launched in 2022.
