We all played this game as kids, and we are better prepared as adults because of the experiences we enjoyed in our youth. Some of us live private lives, keeping to ourselves. This is a form of keep-away that is easy to play…but isn’t there more to enjoy in the outside world? 

There comes a point in your life where something new may pique your interest, and you may no longer wish to hide. Your ambitions turn to getting away and seeking these new activities. Perhaps it’s your inner child curiosity …wondering about the excitement of something new? Maybe you’re restless staying indoors? Either way, it’s time to seek. 

At JMYS we have worked with many clients to help them realize their goal of cruising on a trawler. Most people own a trawler because they are seeking adventure while enjoying the company of family and friends. When you are out at sea seeking a new destination, there is no place to hide. Getting offshore adjusts your focus as you become one with your immediate situation and surroundings. Isn’t it refreshing to get lost in the moment and watch time slow down?

Being aboard may also lead you to escape to a secluded cove where you can relax and hide out for a while. A proper trawler in the hands of active adventurers will enjoy both sides of the hide and seek game.  

 The momentum from 2024 is flowing into 2025 and the JMYS team is experienced, conscientious, knowledgeable, and ready to assist. Please get in touch so we can discuss your turn for grown up play time.

The Selene East Coast rendezvous was held in September 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. This was a spectacularly organized and very well attended extravaganza for those connected to the Selene Brand. Read all about this event here!

The city of Baltimore became home to nomadic trawlers of all sizes during Trawlerfest, which took place this past September at the Inner Harbor Marina. With over 30 boats on display, this event had a wonderful turnout. Read all about it in our recap article!

We received this nice note from a future client – the JMYS site is filled with information for people in all stages of their trawler transaction and we are happy they utilized it during their research on trawlers!

“Hello Jeff, 

I just wanted to send you a quick note and thank you. 

Approx. 6 months ago I somehow, probably soc media, found out about the great loop and was intrigued. Although I have some history in the maritime industry, I didn’t know anything about it, or the various types of boats. After months of research…now I do. And I owe a lot of my new found knowledge to you. Your videos and, your web site are an invaluable resource, and I thank you. 

I eventually shared my discovery with the Mrs and she was just as intrigued as I was and we have decided that we will be retiring on a boat, doing the loop, Bahamas, east coast ME to FL etc. And, we will hopefully be doing it on boat with the name Krogen associated with it. One of your 8 rules about buying a boat says don’t fall in love with a boat you don’t own. Well, It’s not a specific boat but it is the brand. The details of what we would like/need are for another time. 

It’s probably 5 years out and anything can happen between now and then, we are in our early 60’s. One thing is certain, when we are ready to go, you will be my first phone call. Again, thank you for all the great information.”

For the first time in many years, the Florida TrawlerFest has a new location – Fort Lauderdale! We are excited for this change and look forward to seeing you at the Bahia Mar Hotel and Marina from March 4-8, 2025! Tickets are now available – the discount code jmys” will take 15% off your purchase of ALL Tickets – even VIP passes!

Thank you for staying in touch, it’s always great to hear from you. 
Cheers,
Jeff and the JMYS Team
