The Helmsman Trawlers 38 Sedan is offered in both one and two stateroom models. In either configuration, the 38 Sedan is a contemporary update on the traditional "Europa" sedan trawler design. The owners' stateroom is luxurious and comfortable. The optional guest stateroom is laid out cleverly to provide maximum room, and doubles as an office. If opting for a single stateroom, you'll enjoy an even more spacious owner's state room with separate head and shower compartments.
The open, brightly-lit and well-ventilated salon is modern while retaining a rich nautical atmosphere. The salon 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.
Please note: the pictures attached to this listing are of the older 37 Sedan and will updated when photographs of the new 38 Sedan become available.
