We Thought We Would Buy a Catamaran

10-21-2019. 10-25-2019

Captain Bob,

My husband and I started our search several months ago for the perfect retirement plan, we thought we would buy a catamaran until we started seeing a better option, a trawler.

Captain Bob was our first choice to expand our knowledge of what we were looking for. We learned so,so much about trawlers, the food was healthy and very delicious, the Captains stories were very entertaining and the scenery was breathtaking.

Take a class and enjoy!

Thank you, Captain Bob!

Our Ticket to Bareboating!

Captain Bob               Aug 3rd — 8th.     2016

Thank you for a fun and informative 3 days training. My 21 year old son Jake who is graduating Annapolis Naval academy this year accompanied me to your trawler school.

My family is chartering  a 39′  power cat down in the BVI’s over Christmas. We wanted to brush up on our seaman skills. Your customized training school was just the ticket. The graduation certificate (very impressive)  we received will be something to pass along to the Moorings Charter company as part of our trawler training course along with our past experience  they are requesting in order to charter one of their vessels.

We captained over 80 miles around the Florida Keys which gave us hands on training, rules of the road, safety and navigation & lots of other real world experiences on boating.

We bonded together and are now working as a team. We now have all the confidence chartering on our own down in the BVI’s. We’re very excited and ready to go!

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.
