Helmsman Trawlers at Bay Bridge Boat Show!

Helmsman Trawlers at Bay Bridge Boat Show!Helmsman Trawlers will be displaying a 38E at the 2019 Bay Bridge Boat Show – Kent Island, Maryland.

The Bay Bridge Boat Show begins this Friday, April 12th and runs through Sunday the 14th. Hours are 10am – 6pm Friday and Saturday, and 10am – 5pm Sunday. That’s just around the corner! 

You’ll find Helmsman Trawlers on Dock C and that’s where we’ll be waiting to welcome you aboard the 38E.

Our 38 Pilothouse is an innovative design that offers the spaciousness of a much larger boat – all while fitting into a 40 foot slip. The low-rise pilothouse has excellent visibility and open communication with the salon, and is a social area too while underway or in port. The full-beam salon is expansive and comfortable, with exceptional light and ventilation….

We could go on and on looking for the most descriptive words to best illustrate this popular Helmsman model. It’s a classic case of “You gotta see it to believe it.” So come on down to Dock C … step aboard our Helmsman Trawlers 38E … see for yourself!

Captain…Not Admiral!

This Captain doesn’t want to be an Admiral! And yet he is looking forward to moving up……in boat size that is!
Yes sir! This Captain is selling his Helmsman Trawlers 31 Sedan and stepping up to a Helmsman Trawlers 37 Sedan.

His 2016 Helmsman 31 Sedan has been only lightly used, appears almost as new and has a mere 260 hours on the engine.

This model includes many upgrades and additions from the base model:
– hardtop cockpit cover
– bimini top
– flybridge canvas cover
– extended swim platform with safety handrails (staples)
– full SIMRAD navigational electronics package
– new AGM batteries
– fresh bottom paint

The Helmsman 31 Sedan is an update / redesign of the Camano 31 with interior changes that have transformed this little boat into a little yacht. It’s composed of a master stateroom with ample space, good headroom, storage drawers / compartments, and hanging locker. And a full sized bed that even fits standard sheets! Separate head and shower rooms are accessed from the master suite.

The galley is nicely sized with plenty of counter space, a full size under counter fridge / freezer and sizable ss sink. Salon seating converts from bistro table to dining table and even sleeping for two!

Helm seating and companion seating are centrally located and provide for fantastic 360 visibility.

All with the craftsmanship of the finest of yachts made – in this 31 foot Helmsman Trawlers Sedan.
