Blue Magic is a beautifully maintained 1998 Krogen Express 49 — a semi-displacement trawler offering timeless style, reliable performance, and a thoughtfully upgraded cruising platform. With only two owners since new, she has been consistently cared for and tastefully updated, including a full Raymarine electronics suite (2022), all-new appliances, fresh upholstery, and a 2025 bottom job and topside wax.

Her twin Caterpillar 3116TA diesels cruise comfortably at 16 knots and can reach 20, offering versatility and efficiency for long-range travel or coastal adventures. Whether you’re heading around the Loop, island-hopping the Caribbean, or living aboard, Blue Magic is turnkey and ready for your next voyage.
