Trawler Fest Anacortes, May 13 – 17, 2014 at Cap Sante Marina also know as Cap Sante Boat Haven. The adorable, quaint town of Anacortes is majestic, beautiful and relaxing for green and seasoned boaters. We invite you to join us this May at Trawler Fest – its unlike any other boat show, boat owners are encouraged to come by boat.
The theme of Trawler Fest last year was – ‘It’s not just a boat show it’s a Rendezvous!’ Once again the staff and volunteer team of Trawler Fest met and exceed ‘green Trawler Festers’. With remarks such as ‘this is our first time to Trawler Fest, everyone is so nice, the organization, hospitality, food, drinks, people … it’s amazing!’
The big white tent was high in fun factor this year; with no shortage of happy boat dogs and delighted owners who have grand cruising plans. For the ‘green Trawler Fest’ exhibitors – you know who you are – they have now been properly ‘seasoned’ – with much thanks to the local watering hole The Brown Lantern.
Trawler Fest – Land Exhibitors & Attendee’s – Enjoying the Show!
On-land boat manufacturers and exhibitors offered a variety of goods and services such as, marine hardware (Quickline), decks (Addison Marine), electronics (Anacortes Marine Electronics), boating equipment (Fenderhooks), yacht repair yards (Platypus Marine), marine seating (Llebroc Helmchairs), charters & training (Captain Chris Yacht Services), builders (Seaton Yachts), marinas (Salmon Bay Marine Center), insurance (Boat Insurance), marine publications such as Salty Dog Boating News and Sea Magazine… the list goes on. Upbeat Sales Manager Michelle McIntosh-Murray was even offering FREE one year Sea Magazine subscriptions, for the first time ever in their 100 year history. Throughout the tent were scheduled educational seminars and activities; some of which were inspired and motivated by exhibitors on the fly.
