Storage Stations
Trekkers are designed to carry an unprecedented assortment of adventure craft. Each Trekker is highly personalized with an array of auxiliary vessels and vehicles to accommodate the unique needs of its owner and guests.
A Trekker’s adventure craft capacity is directly proportional to the length of the vessel. There are two primary storage decks; the upper deck where the longer craft reside, and the garage deck where submarines and slightly smaller craft are positioned.
The Trekker 75 has 8 primary craft storage stations. Wow!
The 75’s launch and retrieval system (LRS) has been engineered to accommodate static loads of 6,000 pounds. Ultimate structural limits, accounting for snatch and heaving loads push the operational load capability to 15,000 pounds. This allows for the choice of many highly capable offshore craft.

Here are the general guidelines in length for each storage station:
Station 1 – This upper-deck-port-side station handles the longest craft – up to 17 feet long depending on configuration.

Station 2 – This upper-deck-mid-ship station is typically used for 1 or 2 personal watercraft, or a rack of kayaks.

Station 3 - This upper-deck-starboard station can facilitate a 15 foot vessel and still leave plenty of room for working the BBQ and stairs.

Station 4 - This garage-port-side station can handle a 12 foot craft plus short overhangs of about 12 inches in each direction.

Station 5 – This station is garage-mid-ship and typically stores a stack of wind surfing boards or other small items.

Station 6 – This station is garage-starboard and can handle a 12 foot craft plus short overhangs of about 12 inches each direction.

Stations 7 and 8 – These main deck stations are located in the stern’s “hips” at the top of the stairs, and are ideal for racking short to medium length kayaks, surf boards, and other lighter craft that can nest into this space. This makes it super-simple to hand launch craft at a whim. Example: sunrise paddling can be done without making a sound. And the younger kids can handle these stations with ease.
Choices, choices…
One of the most enjoyable parts of buying a Trekker is making the decisions regarding the selection of adventure craft. These are the “tools of adventure” and define the separate missions of each and every Trekker. The Trekker’s aluminum structure is ideal for this – allowing for any kind of rack to be welded directly to the structurally reinforced deck – no drilling, holes, or leaks. This is easily engineered right into the boat’s plans. The only limit is our combined imagination.
With freedom found, what would your adventures be?
