WHAT SETS HELMSMAN TRAWLERS APART?
Helmsman Trawlers low-rise pilothouse and sedan layouts provide visibility astern from the helm while reducing windage and rolling when compared to other vessels. Our boats are equipped with a full keel, large rudder, bow-thruster, and stern-thruster as standard equipment. These characteristics make our boats easy to operate. Systems and on-the-water training are included with every delivery, and Helmsman Trawlers are backed with a 12-month general warranty and a 36-month hull and deck warranty.
We can also help you sell your existing boat through our partner brokerage, Waterline Boats, and structure the purchase of your new yacht so that you are eligible for a trade-in sales tax exemption if applicable - potentially saving you thousands.

HULL CHARACTERISTICS & PERFORMANCE
The Helmsman Trawlers 37, 38E, and 43E feature semi-displacement hull design with soft chines, deep forefoot, broad sections aft for form stability, and a full keel. This means that our boats can cruise efficiently at displacement speeds, but can run at higher speeds if desired. The stainless steel skeg helps protects the propeller from unintentional groundings and the full keel and deep, nearly vertical forefoot provides for good stability and tracking.

Built to be robust, our hulls are constructed of solid hand-laid fiberglass laminate with an interlocking grid of frames and stringers for structural stiffness. Superstructures are cored and vacuum infused for an extremely strong but lightweight structure.

"I can't say enough good things about the vessel! You guys really build a beautiful boat with expensive equipment everywhere I look."
John Freiburg
2019 Helmsman Trawlers 43 Pilothouse
"At every moorage we have been approached by boaters who want to see our 37. It gets rave reviews for its spaciousness, craftsmanship, and design. Most think it is longer than 37 feet and are surprised when they find out it isn't at least 42."
John and Ellen Hough
2019 Helmsman Trawlers 37 Sedan
"She is well designed, well built, spacious and extremely comfortable....As we stepped on board for the first time, we saw how well finished she was, from the topsides to the interior and below decks. We've already had our maiden cruise and can say emphatically that she performs extremely well in every respect."
