I'd like to try it before I buy it

[Jason Russo]

Curious if anyone else wished they could experience the ICW and the trawler lifestyle before spending $250K+ on their first boat?

I'm exploring an idea and would appreciate feedback from current and potential trawler owners. I’m thinking an R27 meets my needs.

My thought is a captain guided experience along the NC ICW where a couple could spend the day (overnight options as well) aboard a Ranger Tug Trawler: learning about navigation, traveling the ICW, docking, marina life/towns and the day-to-day lifestyle. My goal is to give folks a realistic taste of the 'looper' life before they buy.

I would love feedback and opinions. Thanks!

You mean a charter operation?

There is totally stuff like this. Having recently moved up from a 19' C-Dory to a Cutwater that's similar to the R27, it's a real sweet spot for enjoying that lifestyle. I grew up on the Pamlico, these are good boats.
