- Featured Boat of the Week!
This beautiful boathouse-kept 2001 West Bay SonShip Motoryacht could be mistaken for a 2012 — it truly is in “like-new condition!” This gorgeous yacht’s accommodations include two large staterooms with queen-size berths, plus a third stateroom with over/under bunk-style berths. The master stateroom has a separate head and shower. A second head and shower and apartment-sized washer/dryer is located amidships. The elegant, spacious salon is decorated with a custom U-shaped cozy couch and comfortable, coordinating chairs. Appointments in the stylish galley include a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, electric four-burner glass cook top, standard-sized oven, dishwasher, trash compactor, ice maker and microwave.
A fantastic flybridge with full electronics, a covered, carpeted cockpit outfitted with a stainless Jen-Air grill and a full-standing -height engine room equipped with a Firewatch system and a fire extinguishing system all make this vessel the perfect nearly-new motoryacht.

Waterline Boats,
I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much Marian and I are enjoying
our Helmsman 38. After our first cruising season we have come to enjoy the
boat more and more with each journey. We have had occasion to use her
planing capabilities and were pleasantly surprised at how well the boat
handled the confused sea-state. Coming from a stabilized Nordhavn 40, I
find the motion of the Helmsman to be very accommodating for lots of
different conditions.
The boat is really well constructed and the engine room is a delight to work
in. I really like being able to comfortably scoot around the engine and
perform all the maintenance tasks with vast amounts of elbow room. It’s
easy to service the batteries and all the running gear is equally easily
accessible.
Finally, we find the flybridge to be a delight. Operating the boat from
under the bimini is really like owning a second boat, something we had
forgotten since our Nordhavn didn’t have a flybridge. In closing I’d like
to say how enjoyable it has been to work with Waterline Boats in Seattle.
Clearly you are building a business that is focused on the long run and will
weather these challenging economic times by bringing innovative products and
services to an increasingly discerning customer base. My best advice for
your customers is to go now, because the one thing they aren’t making more
of is time.
Thanks again,
Scott and Marian Bulger, Helmsman 38 Pilothouse, HOBOMACK
The Camano 31 Trawler (Trolls and Gnomes) are well-regarded boats for many reasons.
- Quality Canadian craftsmanship
- Stable, efficient Keelform hull design
- Stout, sturdy, capable construction
- 360 degree visibility from helm
- Easy-to-maintain inside and out
- They usually survey very well due to design and construction
- They hold their value well
- the list goes on and on…..
This 1996 Camano 31 is unbelievably clean and shows as nearly new. Which is a tribute not only to the previous owners, but to the quality of construction of these popular Pacific Northwest Trawlers. This particular model has many system and interior upgrades which make an already desirable boat even more appealing!
