Comfortable Trawler Charters

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.

Three couples or a family would not feel crowded aboard the 43 foot trawler. With tree staterooms and two full heads with showers everyone would enjoy their own space. Among the places for sunbathing is the aft deck. For swimming and snorkeling there is a large transom door that opens to a swim platform.

With the dark wood of the interior walls and cabinets, down to the well maintained wood flooring, the trawler oozes with charm. Trawler charters are fun and exciting and like no other vacation you have been on before. Coordinating and booking flights to and from the trawler's location would be the hardest part of the trip. For a little extra, some charter companies will even do that for you making sure everything falls perfectly into place.

Have you ever owned a trawler or other boat and are an experienced sailor? A great money saving idea is to do a bareboat charter. This would allow you more flexibility and privacy. There are, however certain qualifications that the chartering company would require you to fulfill.

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 captain assumes responsibility for the trawler and getting you to your locations safely. The captain is quite knowledgeable of the area he will be navigating and can inform you of the many sights to see and activities to do. He can let you know what restaurants are good at the various ports of call.

In the Pacific Northwest, for example, you would sail around the San Juan Islands and explore the Puget Sound. You would keep watch for bears, whale, deer and eagles. You catch your own fresh crab, gather muscles and oysters, bird watch, fish or just relax.

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.

Trawler charter prices would normally include: your fully equipped diesel trawler yacht; with linens and towels; a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain; a fully equipped galley; boat fuel; and dock fees. Meals ashore and taxes are extra. You have full use of the galley while aboard. You may bring your own food and beverages aboard for the cruise.
