This video was filmed in February 2026 during the Fort Lauderdale, FL Trawlerfest.

This is the twenty-fourth episode in our TrawlAboard series – a collection of trawler tours filmed on the docks at events around the country.

We are grateful to our friends and clients who invited us to film and show you each trawler as if you were on board during the event for your own personal tour.

Thank you for watching and sharing your encouragement, thumbs up and comments.

We all want the best – perfect timing, the perfect boat, and a perfect plan. Waiting for perfect, however, can sometimes mean missing the opportunity to begin.

Saving money, creating time, and preparing to step into the trawler lifestyle is a complex puzzle, especially if you haven’t done it before. Over the years, I have spoken with many experienced trawler owners, and I consistently hear one common reflection: they wish they had started sooner.

Finding the right trawler in the right location, with the right equipment, in the best possible condition, at the right price is a tall order. I am often the first to suggest buying your final boat first, as moving up or down can be both costly and time-consuming. But how long do you wait?

At some point, the opportunity in front of you may not feel perfect, but it may be more than good enough to begin.

Getting your financial picture and insurance coverage prepared and pre-approved will help you act quickly when an elusive trawler appears; sometimes it only takes missing out once or twice to realize how important preparation can be.

At JMYS, we have decided to celebrate 2026 as a “Good” year, with our quarterly messages reflecting on recognizing opportunity and moving forward with intention. The future is never perfectly predictable, but many of life’s most rewarding experiences start with the decision to begin. Years from now, we may look back and recognize this season as part of the “Good Old Days.” How we respond to opportunity often shapes the course of what comes next.

If you are interested in discussing your trawler cruising plans, whether you are planning five years out or believe this could be your year, we invite you to connect and explore how JMYS can help you move forward with confidence, especially when the opportunity feels good enough to begin.

Next Dimension is in exceptional condition, well maintained with low hours and light use. She is hull 54 in this popular Nordhavn 40 series.

Next Dimension is a second generation (built by South Coast in China). The consumption entry document from when she was newly imported into the US (CBP-7501) will be handed to the buyer. The first 45 hulls were built by Pacific Seacraft in California. All Nordhavn 40s are born from the same tooling, but PAE, the parent company of Nordhavn, differentiates the two versions in this series as Mark I US made, and Mark II China built.

This design has generous interior accommodations (saloon and galley on the entry level, raised pilothouse and two staterooms with one head on the lower level) and a seakindly ride through the water.
