Turning the Big 6-0

Captain Bob,                                 Feb 18 — 21

It was great cruising with you on your birthday 2-19 turning the big 60. You surpassed our expectations on two objectives, among many. One was how to buy a trawler, what size and what model would best fit our needs. The other was building our confidence in being able to handle a trawler.

Added benefits were how nice your boat was and the great meals you prepared for us.

We Now are Educated Potential Buyers

Captain Bob,                                              Jan 20 — 23 –2015
Thanks a lot Captain Bob learned a great deal about piloting a trawler and a real lot about information on finding and buying a trawler. With all your experience as a past leading trawler broker we now are educated potential buyers. As a newcomer to handling larger boats our confidence has exceeded what we came to learn.

Blowing the Outlaw Horn

Hello Captain Bob & the Miami Mermaid,

A very good trip (cruise), it was our first cruise on a trawler and we learned a lot. Gained quite a bit of hands-on experience and the ins and outs of cruising. We got a lot of wonderful ideas on how to operate, maintain, and buy a trawler. Thank you Captain Bob, for a unique learning experience.

P.S. Flo had fun blowing your Outlaw train horn. Wow what a blast…(ha ha)

Moving from a Sailboat to a Trawler

Captain Bob

Thank you, you’ve been a big help! All I can say is , if you are thinking about buying a trawler, or in my case,  moving from a sailboat to a trawler, this course will be the best money you can spend. Captain Bob is a mentor. He answered every single question I had,  then showed me things I never knew. It was a great course, even for an old salt like me. After this course I know what model and size of trawler to look for, and about how much to pay. Well worth the time and money. It was a fun filled course.
