Trawler School

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good "Trawler School" where I can get several days of hands-on instruction on a 40 to 46 foot trawler? I'd like to find something anywhere along the Gulf Coast or the eastern Florida coast. I want to get enough experience to qualify for some future bare-boat charters of trawlers in that size range.

I've owned and operated ski boats and deck boats on several lakes over the past twenty five years or so. But now my wife and I are interested in purchasing a trawler to enjoy in our retirement, which is just a few years out now. My plan is to charter a number of different types of trawlers to find out what works best for us. But, it appears that the charter companies are looking for more experience on bigger boats that I can claim.

Your feedback based on any personal experiences you may have with any Trawler Schools would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
