Trawler Fest

The trawler and cruising under power event series owned and produced by PassageMaker Magazine. It is all about cruising on motorboats—the boats, the people, and the lifestyle. Editor-in-Chief Bill Parlatore captured it best when he wrote, “This lifestyle is about quality of life, self-sufficiency, economy of operation, modern conveniences, cruising capability, and true comfort aboard.” And Trawler Fest events are all about turning his vision into a memorable experience!

At each and every Trawler Fest, you’ll find a boat show custom-tailored to your specific cruising vantage point, an educational opportunity that builds your skills as a mariner, and a party atmosphere that gives you a chance to share your boating interests with fellow cruisers and meet the editors and experts involved with the magazine and the program.
