| Trawlers for Sale provides you with the critical details you need to know about true sea going trawlers before making an expensive trip in time and money to physically determine if the passagemaker meets your requirements.
We try to be you eyes and ears and personally spend 4 or 5 days aboard to thoroughly familiarize ourselves with the vessel.
We take hundreds of photographs, tens of panoramic views in daylight and at nightime so you may experience the changes in ambience.
You can open hatches, cupboards and access panels.
You can research all shipboard items by simple clicking on the item where the manufacturer's data will be presented and for more detail you may click links provided to see what the manufacturer has to say about that particular item.
After taking a virtual tour aboard the trawler your only reason for actually visiting her will be to confirm what you already know and negotiate a good deal.
We have personally experienced the physical route... back and forth across the country only to find less than suitable equipment that was supposed to be a "go anywhere vessel", maybe you have had the same experience.
Enjoy your free visit!
It is early days for us and we expect to add many additional ocean going trawlers in the near future.
Thank you for your time.

RETIRING OR SECOND HOME ON THE HORIZON?
(Remember, location, location, location)
People sometimes want to get away from it all and buy a house in a different location to do just that.
But did they really choose the right vacation or retirement location. Will they find out after three months that it is not quite what they had expected, noisey kids, unruly neighors, bad weather, too far from the action down town? Now they may be saddled with a place they want to sell or they have put up with the inconveniences.
Why not consider having a high quality home (yacht) and have it on the waterfront in downtown New York, San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne, Nice, Boston, Cabo San Lucas... the locations are unlimited. Also you will find that most of these waterfront destinations have a leisurely resort atmosphere, with health spas, boutiques and restaurants.
You can move you home (yacht) as often as you wish... three or four companies specialize in moving yachts aboard their specialy designed ships to just about anywhere in the world... so why be satisfied with only one place to retire, when you can choose from hundreds.
Of course, you can sail it yourself or get a Captain to do it for you and don't forget the wonderful adventure you will have travelling to your next waterfront city.
The air is always cleaner and fresher at the coast due to the onshore flow of sea air and old friends will anxiously wait to get an invitation to visit your yacht and play in your new city!
It's great life and worth thinking about!
VESSEL SEA ADVENTURES
Custom built for an aristocratic family in Spain, she was launched in 1988 as Sirius II
For seven years she plied the waters of the Mediterranean. From Spain she visited Mallorca, Menorca, France, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Tunisia, Marocco and Gibraltar.
Her second owner (1995) also travelled extensively in the Mediterranean then brought her to the USA and sailed her from Florida to the Bahamas on a regular basis.
Her current owners are an offshore cruising couple who enjoy long passages and visiting different countires. They purchased her in Florida February 2001 and fitted her for a safe voyage to Cailifornia, departing April 2001. She visited Cuba, Mexico, Belise, Honduras, Guatamala, Nicaragua, Columbia, Costa Rica and Panama. She transited the canal and up the western Pacific Coast visiting Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and on to San Diego, California.
She has travelled over 37,000 nautical miles and seen some heavy weather. She is naturaly sea kindly and a very dry boat.
A major refit was undertaken starting in June 2002 and completed in January 2004. She is now in Turn Key condition and ready to go voyaging whenever you are... or just tootle around knowing your family is in a Safe Offshore Trawler.

________________________________________
SEA ADVENTURES is ideally suited for carrying six passengers on extended "Adventure Trips" in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico or as a local "Bed and Breakfast" operation, providing one or all of the daily meals and tours of the immediate area. Daily charters are another way of generating substantial income... make an arrangement with one of the resort hotels to offer your services to their guests.
The financial renumeration is substantial as can be seen from the offerings already in the marketplace. A typical yacht with crew will charge around $14,000 per week for a total of six people. You could promote something similar at a much lower price and still make serious money.
Work only two weeks each month and net over $200,000 per year. Offering only seven trips per year, would pay for the boat and all her dock fees, insurance cost, maintenance, etc..
