In the 1960s, he built yachts at the prompting of friends in the Offshore Cruising Society. They urged him to design a long-range cruising boat seaworthy enough to run up and down the Pacific Coast. He designed cruisers that ranged in length from 38 to 54 feet for club members. Some of those wood and steel boats are still in service.
Regardless of size, most DeFever boats have full galleys with full-size refrigerators, ovens, generous indoor and outdoor living and eating areas, large staterooms with en-suite baths, extra berths for guests and plenty of storage including room for a washer and dryer. [links]
When he was just seventeen, naval architect, Arthur DeFever built his first boat, a wooden rowboat, which he rowed alone from his home in San Pedro, California to Catalina Island. He later designed movie sets at Universal Studios and developed custom built furniture for Hollywood actors before landing at San Pedro Boat Works, where he designed and built military vessels during World War II.
It wasn’t until the 1950s, though, that his foray into civilian boat design began. After relocating to San Diego, he started to design and build commercial tuna clippers for the city’s fleet, which had been depleted by the war.

The lower deck accommodates the galley, saloon, and covered aft deck (we call it the back porch). The galley is U-shaped, with plenty of counter space. We replaced the standard Jenn-Aire (electric!) household stove and oven and 22 cubic foot household Amana side-by-side refrigerator/freezer in 2012 with a gas cooktop, an energy-efficient 9 cubic foot household fridge, and a Panasonic combination microwave/convection oven.. There’s a large pantry locker, and another large locker holds a Splendide combination washer-dryer. The galley and saloon are separated by a breakfast bar with a bookcase and stemware rack. [links]
Accommodations include a master stateroom located midships, with a queen walk around berth and an ensuite head with a (tiny) bathtub and shower. Ample hanging lockers are located on the port side. The guest stateroom is forward, and the typical v-berth arrangement has been stacked into bunk beds, allowing for drawer space and a hanging locker. The guest stateroom is served by its own head, which can also be outfitted as a shower.
The saloon can also be used as sleeping quarters, as it contains a queen-sized hide-a-bed sofa on the port side. Across from the sofa are two matching wicker chairs and a corner entertainment cabin holds a 42″ flat-screen tv and an entertainment system. here
Built by the Sen Koh shipyard in Taiwan, “Emma Jo” is a 1988 DeFever 49 Raised Pilothouse offshore cruising trawler. She is laid out in the traditional “Plan A” deck plan. The upper deck is comprised of the pilot house (which we use as an office) and the sun deck, which houses the inflatable dinghy. The settee and hi-lo table converts to a double berth, so the pilot house can also be used as guest quarters. In the starboard forward corner is a curved staircase leading to the accommodation deck. more
