Boat Reviews

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.

A wide, sunny shot of a large, classic expedition-style motor yacht named "Walrus" anchored in calm, shimmering water. The vessel features a cream-colored hull with circular portholes and a multi-level superstructure. It is heavily dressed in festive maritime signaling flags strung from the bow to the tall white main mast. At the stern, both an American flag and a Texas state flag fly prominently from a secondary flagpole. The background features a green, tree-lined shoreline with a glimpse of a waterfront house under a clear, vibrant blue sky.

Bad Vibrations
