Sailing<\/strong> around the world is awesome…but it’s also dangerous and expensive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living on a <\/strong>small boat<\/strong><\/a> in the marina is fun – until the cabin starts to feel cramped and claustrophobic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living on a fishing trawler,<\/strong> however<\/em>, is one of the safest and most comfortable <\/strong>ways to fully<\/em> embrace life on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Liveaboard Trawler Lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Living aboard a trawler is more than just a change of scenery; it’s a complete transformation of lifestyle. Trawlers offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

●      Stability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

●      Easy access<\/p>\n\n\n\n

●      More room for sleeping quarters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

●      Larger kitchens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

●      Ample storage space for all your belongings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say goodbye to cramped quarters and limited headroom, as trawlers boast more spacious interiors than sailboats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not familiar with fishing boats with a cabin, check out our complete guide here<\/a>.  (And if you’re unsure what the difference is, you can familiarize yourself with the types of boats here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-Range Cruising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most appealing aspects of living aboard a trawler is the ability to travel<\/strong> far and wide<\/em>, exploring distant ports and remote areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many trawlers are designed to cross oceans<\/strong>, meaning you can travel virtually anywhere<\/em> on the seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, with their shallow draft,<\/strong> trawlers can easily navigate inland waters <\/strong>and anchor in more locations<\/strong> – while still being capable of handling deep sea <\/em>conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trawlers also boast spacious outdoor areas, such as the aft deck<\/strong> and flybridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort and Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trawlers excel in providing comfort and space. If you’ve ever spent any time on a boat, you know that being able to stow all of your stuff is crucial.  And you need a lot more stuff if you’re living on the boat full-time<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trawlers feel large<\/em> and inviting<\/em> with their more boxy, wide-open interior spaces. Climb aboard, and you’ll see the trawler as more than just a recreation option<\/em> but a potential living space<\/strong>. Trawlers typically have more headroom below deck and ample space on deck for entertaining guests.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons for this spaciousness is the use of full displacement hulls<\/strong> in trawler design.  Displacement hulls travel below the water’s surface – not on top of the water.  This makes them slower<\/em> but very stable<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
