2025 HELMSMAN TRAWLER 38E PILOTHOUSE - New Boat Library

E MARINE MOTOR YACHTS, AUSTRALIAN DEALER FOR BACK COVE YACHTS SINCE 2006 INTRODUCING HELMSMAN TRAWLERS


The Helmsman Trawlers 38E Pilothouse is an innovative design offering the spaciousness of a much larger boat while fitting into a 40 foot slip. The low-rise pilothouse has excellent visibility and open communication with the salon, and is a social area too while underway or in port. The full-beam salon is expansive and comfortable, with exceptional light and ventilation. A day head is a rare and practical feature, and the convertible settee and day head can be enclosed to provide a private suite for guests when needed. The flybridge is set back to maintain a low profile - which benefits windage and center-of-gravity. A high, flush bow, sturdy railings, full covered cockpit, deep pilothouse side deck footwells and secure flybridge stairs on both sides increase practicality and safety in adverse conditions.

Minimal exterior maintenance and reliable, economical propulsion systems allow owners to spend more time cruising.

All Helmsman Trawlers are designed for long-range, comfortable passage-making. They feature sturdy construction, reliable mechanical and electrical systems, quality components and materials, and stable, efficient hull designs. Beautiful nautical interiors are expertly crafted. Helmsman Trawlers are built to exceptional standards and quality is superb - examine and compare!
