Comments Tankage

"Hele-Mai" (meaning "Hurry Up" in Hawaiian) is a custom ordered semi-displacement trawler that is true to her heritage. From her covered aft cockpit and side decks, high bulwarks, and twin engines she is a true all-weather, long-range trawler. If you seek social spaces the galley is open to the salon (same level), the fly bridge is large enough for your entire group or you may enjoy cruising with your guests from the pilothouse. The Portuguese bridge is a great place to have coffee and watch for Orcas. She is equipped with the latest electronics and creature comforts to make your dream cruise  safe and enjoyable.
