The Snapper 12 Fishing Vessel by KND is a dedicated commercial catch and angling platform featuring an aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. Constructed with a structural frame spacing of 600mm, this robust vessel measures 11.30 meters in length, has a beam of 3.80 meters, and maintains a draft of 0.73 meters. Operating under the Grey Boat Code classification with Bureau Veritas and HPi CE proof validations, the craft handles a maximum full-load displacement of 11.02 tons. Designed to be efficiently managed by a 3-passenger complement, the vessel contains practical operational capacities including an extensive 3,000-liter fuel tank, 150 liters of fresh water, and 42 liters of waste water storage.

The vessel’s propulsion system relies on a dependable shaft and propeller arrangement driven by high-grade marine engines sourced from Volvo Penta, Baudouin, or MTU, generating a total of 500 bhp. This powertrain propels the craft to a maximum speed of 22 knots and a steady cruising speed of 18 knots. Thanks to its efficient displacement-to-power balance and large fuel reserve, the Snapper 12 achieves an exceptional long-range cruising endurance of 808 nautical miles when sustaining its 18-knot cruise velocity, making it highly capable for extended coastal or offshore fishing expeditions.

Onboard electrical infrastructure runs on a dual 230 VAC and 24 VDC power supply supported by a 4 KVA generator set, which provides continuous power to ensure a completely climate-controlled cabin with full air conditioning. Comprehensive situational awareness and precise fish-finding capabilities are managed via a basic navigation pack featuring a 12-inch multi-function display (MFD), VHF DSC radio, AIS-B transponder, autopilot, a 600 W sonar, and a radar system utilizing an 18- or 24-inch dome. True to the KND production standards, these preliminary technical specifications remain subject to change to allow final engineering adjustments and optional extras to be customized to a client’s specific requests.
