Mikelson's 59/63 Nomad

Long Distance Cruiser
"Mikelson Yachts is well known for its sportfishing cruisers. Responding to requests for a long-legged fishing machine that also could serve as a great cruising boat, it has introduced a trawler version of its sportfisher. Capable of extended cruising, able to withstand offshore conditions with ease, and designed with comfort, class, and catching fish in mind, the new 59 Nomad is an impressive passagemaker that may make you reconsider your perception of Mikelson."
