A trawler style boat sounds like it would fit your needs on many levels, except for the gear aspects as noted by DJM. We use ours for typical coastal cruising, but also to fish and free dive, but no compressed air tanks. I also carry 20 ft. Long outrigger canoe on the flybridge, so the 8 ft long outrigger portion (ama)goes in the cockpit for transport. The cockpit on my boat can therefore get fairly crowded, More-so if you add in all of the gear you want to carry. Most people with your intended mission use a sport Fisher with a larger cockpit. Mikelson, Riviera, etc. You can make anything work, it’s just a matter of what compromises you are willing to make.
