Comfortable Trawler Charters

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.

A 43 foot trawler charter would be a comfortable boat to cruise in and stay aboard for several days or longer.  It boasts a large salon and modern galley.  The large flybridge beckons you to relax under the bimini cover.

As many as three couples or a large family would comfortable accommodated.  The three staterooms and two heads, each with its own shower would allow everyone there own space.  For recreation, there is an aft deck for sunbathing or fishing. There you will find a large swim platform accessible by the expansive transom door.

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.

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 go on vacation to kick back and relax.  All trawler charters have experienced captains whose resumes are impeccable and available for you to review.  They know the vessel well as well as all the locations you will be visiting.  Leave all the worries to them while you enjoy the view.

The captains will follow a pre-planned itinerary, although you can request to alter it a bit, time allowing.  He is very familiar with all the ports of call and will recommend things to do and direct you to points of interest or restaurants where you can enjoy a meal ashore.

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.

If you do not want to go ashore and dine at one of the many restaurants, you can use the fully equipped galley.  You also have the choice of leaving your comfortable stateroom and stay ashore one evening at one of the charming island hotels, at your own expense, of course.

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.
