This Helmsman Trawlers 38 Pilothouse is a unique opportunity in a hard-to-find model -- and is positioned in a location ideally-situated for undertaking the Great Loop.
She appears in good and attractive condition. The sellers have owned her for six years and have been attentive in their care and maintenance. This boat is well-prepared for cruising, having completed the Great Loop twice in succession recently. Bridge clearance can be reduced to under 13' with the retractable mast. She is equipped for hot and cold climate conditions.
She has a number of optional features including Kohler generator, reverse-cycle heat/air, a forced-air furnace system, bow and stern thrusters, and a factory-built custom pantry storage cabinet. Other recent additions include solar panels (450 watts), 2019 AB RIB with 20 hp Tohatsu outboard, Seawise davit system, Victron isolation transformer, new 2024 interior and exterior upholstery, and Flag Blue vinyl hull wrap.
Originally imported and sold as a Mariner Yachts International 37 Seville Pilothouse, this model is the predecessor to the Helmsman Trawlers 38 Pilothouse and is dimensionally equal.
This boat gives the impression of being much larger than its size implies with a very roomy interior and a design that includes a full-beam saloon, a day head, separate master head and shower compartments, and an extended pilothouse that actually serves as a comfortable living area in addition to its piloting function.
The quality of materials and construction are evident with teak and holly floors, beautiful teak joinery, heavy fittings and rails, sturdy deck sections, and thick engine compartment sound insulation.
You'd be hard-pressed to fit more boat into a 40' slip -- and with her Cummins QSB 5.9 480 hp engine she performs frugally at 7 or 8 knots, and has the power to get up and go when needed.
Located Gulf Shores, Alabama, this boat could easily be transported by water to many locations in the eastern US and Canada. Also, the flybridge cowling is removable so it is possible to ship this boat overland fairly economically.
Compare this boat to a Nordic Tug 37 or 39, or to an American Tug 34, 365, or 395. You'll find the Helmsman is roomier, has a more finely-crafted interior, and is built to a very high standard.
