A Bonding Experience

Captain Bob,            July 25 — 29–2016

Joe, Christine & our son Avery (15) this is our first time on a trawler charter we are seeking education & fun in the sun. We have bonded as a family on all the learning techniques, handling a trawler, and a dingy. We are now a team that is ready to buy our 1st trawler.

This school has opened our minds to bigger and better plans on trawlering. We got much more than we paid for. This was a real family vacation all wrapped up into trawler school, our memories of Key West with Captain Bob this trip will certainly hold a special place in our hearts. Oh yes, Avery was promoted from (Swab) to First Mate. The Captain was very pleased with his outstanding interaction.

Trawler Handling & Cruising Lifestyle 101

2-8 — 2-12- 2016

Captain Bob,
We came aboard hoping to learn if we could handle a life aboard a trawler, both the handling of the trawler itself and the lifestyle . We learned a great deal about how to do both. We appreciate your patience and amusing teaching style along with your willingness to share your many years selling 100’s of trawlers experience on buying and owning one.  Keep up the bad fish jokes ha ha. We have a great time and the food was excellent.
