I had a very good marine weather app that I used for years from Accuweather (blue icon with an anchor) and then it started to say "no data for this area" or something like that so I deleted it figuring I would just reinstall it but it's no longer on the Apple app store. Does anyone know if...

I am a wanna be and have my sights set on a Camano 31. I have chartered one and like it. Do any current Camano 31 owners think I could have the swim platform extended another 2 or 3 feet to create more area for water sports and/or to keep an inflatable? Thanks in advance for any input!

Great points...looks like the Bahamas are out! I'm wondering if I could require the renter to get their own insurance?

I'm planning to buy a used small trawler (Camano, Mainship style) and create a charter business with it in addition to using it myself. I'm wondering what you think the market for small trawlers (30-40ft.) being available to charter for 1 week up to as long as maybe six months at a reasonable...

If I am going to do exclusively coastal cruising and don't plan any trips further than the Keys and the Bahamas why do I need a trawler? Can't I just buy a boat like the Meridian 341 or Bayliner 3587 and coastal cruise in that. The initial purchase price on these boats is considerably less...

I was wondering if you could add a new category to the Trawler Forum where owners could offer their trawlers for rental to people like me that have lots of boating experience (and are not ready to buy yet) and want to rent/charter a trawler. This type of thing seems to be gaining in popularity...

Albin 36 They have an Albin 36 trawler in their fleet.

I am looking into the Chesapeake Boat Club in Annapolis, MD. Does anyone have any experiences with them that they can share? Thanks!

Looking for a fellow boater who lives in or is going to be in Key West at the end of October and may be able to provide accommodations. I'm probably (not 100% sure as of now) going to be there working the Fantasy Fest event with my business on Friday and Saturday October 25/26 and I'm looking...

I am thinking my next charter will be a Mainship 34 trawler, Southwest Florida yachts has one for charter. There is also a Albin 36 trawler for charter out of Annapolis.

Yes, perhaps I think I'm the kind of guy who wants to rough it without shower stall or generator (Camano) but when the rubber meets the road I'm really not, I'd rather have more amenities. Especially if I'm going to be spending multiple weeks at a time or maybe even months coastal cruising in...

I had my mind set on buying a Camano 31 so I chartered one a few weeks ago on the Chesapeake Bay and I have to say I was not impressed with the boat. When I compare it to another yacht we used to charter, a twin diesel Bayliner 3587, it fell way short on luxury. On performance, it was...

That is a cool story...riding out a hurricane at Fort Jefferson...very exciting! Not many responses to the topic though, does not seem that many trawlers go there? Anyone have any idea why? I see many accounts of sailors going to DT on cruisers.net and other sites. There is a good video...

Last year my wife and I went to Fort Jefferson on a commercial boat trip from Key West and I have been fascinated ever since. We are getting closer to purchasing a trawler (Camano 31) and the Dry Tortugas trip is on my bucket list. I wanted to here opinions and stories from folks that took...

I read here that owning a trawler is to be constantly maintaining the boat by yourself or pay someone else to maintain it. I've settled on purchasing a Camano 31 and I wanted to hear from any current and previous Camano owners about what maintenance and repair issues may come up on a Camano 31...

I emailed him and the boat is still for sale.

Allen, Can you tell me some more details about your boat? I'd like to know the year, price and whether it has a generator? What is included in the sale as well?

I'm a wannabee trawler owner but getting more serious about purchasing a trawler. The two models I am looking at are the Mainship 390 and the Camano 31. My plan is to place the vessel in a charter fleet for the Spring, Summer and Fall months in the Chesapeake Bay. You see, my seasonal...

Do the Camano 31 Trolls come with a generator? If not how do you power things on an all day cruise or run the A/C while anchored out?

I really had my heart set on a Mainship 390 but the more I look into the Camano 31 the more I am thinking about the Camano as a cruising vessel for my wife and I as we go into retirement. Does anyone have any input or comments about the vessels? One thing I have noticed about the Camano 31...

Here is link: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2005/Mainship-34T-Trawler-2201269/Mattituck/NY/United-States

It's more than I want to pay for a boat but yes I am interested.

Is that the 2005 on Yachtworld in Mattituck, NY?

Lyle, Your situation sounds a bit like mine, my business is busy during the late spring, summer and early fall but I have lots of time from Oct 31 to April 15 to run her down the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway to NC, SC GA or FL and back up. I used to charter a Bayliner 3587 for about 4 or 5...

What area are you located in? I'm looking for people that would charter a trawler I may purchase on the Chesapeake bay.
