Comments & Broker’s Notes
The Helmsman Trawlers 43E Pilothouse is derived from our popular 38 Pilothouse and expanded in every dimension. With the additional volume achieved from a longer and wider hull and additional freeboard we’ve added a second stateroom, expanded the salon, added more interior seating, and increased the cockpit area.
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 stunningly 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 additional guests when needed. 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 our quality is superb – examine and compare!
