Buyer Tools

The checklists, spreadsheets, and questions JMYS uses to help buyers narrow the field methodically — and avoid surprises down the road.

JMYS provides comprehensive checklists, frameworks, and resources to help you methodically evaluate trawlers and avoid impulse decisions.

Collaborate to build must-have and nice-to-have feature lists, then use comparison charts to objectively evaluate your options.

Smart questions about cruising style, crew size, and time aboard help narrow the field from hundreds of trawlers to your perfect match.

Beyond the search, JMYS offers coaching on systems, operations, and decision-making to help you become a confident trawler owner.

JMYS helps you assemble the right team and processes for surveys, inspections, and evaluations to verify what you’re really buying.

A clear timeline with deadlines and milestones keeps your search moving forward without rushing into a hasty decision.
