Where do We Begin?

Where do we begin? Coming from  -7 degree’s in Chicago to Southern Florida to attend your Trawler school has been more rewarding than we could ever have imagined. From the moment we stepped aboard the Miami Mermaid we have learned not only how to navigate but everything we need to know about handling a trawler. Safety, “woman over board and saving” Wilma (Blow up doll), that was fun!

What type of trawler to look for, advice on whether to buy or charter at this point in our lives (still working) and the wonderful community of boaters out there and why it is such a big draw for so many.

You have been an exceptional host, and now a friend. I hope someday to find you out there cruising the around the intracoastal on our own trawler, once we retire. We will have a toast to all your help and guidance.

This has been one of our fondest experiences on the water. Thank you so very much. We will miss Wilma.
