I have the impression that on those trawlers with flybridges, the flybridges are used the majority of the time for piloting. So for me, it makes sense to look for a boat with a flybridge. And it adds another living space.

I love my flybridge because (in no special order):

Great visibility while underway

Much quieter and you can hear the marine environment better

More comfortable seating

Great for entertaining (While underway or at the dock)

Nice semi private sunbathing location for the ladies.

All the other positive comments everybody else said

- AND FINALLY -

Californian Trawlers are butt ugly without a flybridge!!
