<!--need text-->Even if you want flexibility in the number of passengers at any time, you don't want to waste space on empty berths. In addition to the owners’ stateroom, some options for additional berths are: * Port cabin* Starboard cabin* Pilot berth or pilot cabin on a larger boat* Settee berths in salon* Settee berth in dinette
→Berths
If you have children, then you must plan the cabin arrangement to suit. Ideally, each child should have its own cabin. On the other hand, if you’re single and want to have a blast with the boys and girls every weekend, then you need as many berths as you can manage (and enough safety equipment to go around). That’s the several-cabin option.

Heads also have lifestyle considerations. On a smaller trawler, where space is at a premium, you might have one or two heads with showers. On a trawler with an engine room amidships, you would want a head ensuite with the aft master stateroom, and another one forward in the main accommodation. If size and layout permits, a day head above decks is handy, especially if you are entertaining a gang.
