How long do the boats on "deadliest catch" stay at sea for on average?

Question

I was just wondering on average how long the boats on the "deadliest catch" stay at sea for before they head back to dutch and unload.

Answer 1

from 3-8 days depending on the success and the catch rate and the season.  I've never watched a whole episode of the show, too much personal involvement, I helped build 3 of the vessels and have lost friend and relatives in the industry to accidents at sea. Hope the fleet does well.

Answer 2

The King Crab season lasts just four days. The Opilio season is now not a "derby" event, so the vessels have an allotted quota which allows for a safer trip, allowing more time for rest.

The f/v Northwestern (my favourite vessel) has its own website at:
