Trawler Charters

Trawler Charters

by Mary Swanson

The trawler is an awesome boat. It is known for its roominess and stability. The next best thing to owning one would be to do a trawler charter. It is a great way to sail along some of the wonderful coastlines on earth. Trawler charters are available in the Pacific Northwest and in Florida. You can also hire a trawler charter in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean or in Australia.

Trawler Charters have boats available in various lenghts. One of the most comfortable is the 43 foot trawler. It is luxurious and spacious. While sailing you can watch TV on the flatscreen in the large main salon and enjoy dinner served from the fully equipped galley. Above, there is the spacious flybridge with a bimini cover for added protection from the sun.

One of the 43 foot trawler charters is perfect for 3 couples or a family. It has three staterooms and two full heads with showers. The aft deck is great for sunbathing. There is also a large transom door that opens to a spacious swim platform.

A luxury trawler charter is unlike any other vacation and would rate at the top of your list of travels. To insure a successful trip there is a certain amount of planning involved. Travel to and from the location of the vessel would have to be coordinated. Some chartering companies will do this for you for an extra fee.

If you are an experienced sailor you may want to do a bareboat charter. You would be able to pilot the trawler yourself. The chartering company would have to review your sailing resume. If you qualify this is a great way to save.

Most of us just want to relax on our vacations and let the captain take care of everything. Trawler charters have highly qualified captains on retainer and their resumes are available for you to review.

The highly trained captain will pilot your trawler charter to many picturesque ports-of-call on either the Eastern or Western coasts. There is so much to see and do. Your captain will be familiar with the various ports and be able to educate you on the restaurants and things to do.

The San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest are varied and beautiful. You will be able to see an abundance of wildlife such as bear, whales, and eagles. If you like, you will be able to fish for salmon and halibut, go crabbing, and gather oysters.

You can take advantage of the galley and dining facilities onboard or go ashore for a meal. To further experience the local flavor, at your own expense, you may want to spend a night ashore on one of the many islands you will be visiting.

The trawler charter’s fees usually include the following: the fully equipped trawler, linens and towels, the captain, the modern galley with all the amenities, fuel, and dock fees. Extras would be items such as meals ashore and taxes. Some charter companies will allow you to bring your own food and beverages aboard and you are allowed full use of the galley.
