Trawler Fest in Anacortes

Announcing the Trawler Fest in it’s fourth year at Anacortes, Washington! Situated on picturesque Fidalgo Island, the city is the gateway for Washington’s ferry run to the San Juan Islands and Victoria, B.C. Anacortes, commonly referred to as “the drive-to island,” is easily accessible and boasts a beautiful waterfront and marina, a charming downtown center, and a friendly community.

Trawler Fest is the trawler and cruising-under-power event series produced by PassageMaker Magazine. It is all about cruising on motorboats—the boats, the people, and the lifestyle.

Anacortes Floating Boat Show

Don’t miss this great show at Cap Sante Marina. March 18th to 20th.

Over 70 boats of every type and style will be brought to the docks especially for this FREE event, so you’ll want to wear your most comfortable boat shoes and be ready to stay all day.
