The Francis Gespeg 55 is a crabber designed for the Micmac Nation of Gespeg in the Gaspé Peninsula. This fishing boat can hold 47,000 pounds of crab in its refrigerated sea water (RSW) holds.

A durable, optimized boat

Built to replace a second fishing boat, the Mila Ray was inspired by an existing model, then optimized with features such as a side stern thruster to suit its owner’s needs. Its stainless steel water holds are resistant and can hold up to 70,000 lbs of live crabs. No wonder it completed its first season in record time!
