Helmsman Trawlers 38 Sedan
The Helmsman Trawlers 38 Sedan in its two stateroom version is a contemporary update on the traditional “europa” sedan trawler design. The owners’ stateroom is luxurious and comfortable. The guest stateroom is surprisingly roomy with its clever layout, and doubles as an office. The open, well-lit and well-ventilated salon is modern yet richly nautical, and is a comfortable living area — whether in port or underway. This sedan trawler achieves a roomy interior because of its wide beam, while offering safe exterior walk-arounds on both sides of the boat. The salon is lengthened from the earlier Helmsman Trawlers 37 Sedan by more than two feet — increasing the size of the galley and the dining settee. The flybridge has comfortable seating for six and space to mount a dinghy.
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 our quality is superb – examine and compare!
The Helmsman 38 Sedan Two Stateroom model is offered at $620,000, well-equipped with the most common and desirable features.
