Dock Walk and Talk – Anacortes, Washington - TrawlerFest 2026

TrawlerFest Anacortes 2026 was held at Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes, Washington, bringing together trawler owners, future cruisers, industry professionals, and some of the most recognizable names in the trawler community. Anacortes has long been one of our favorite boating destinations. If you're interested in trawlers, there may be no better place to spend a few days walking the docks, touring boats, attending seminars, and connecting with people who share a passion for cruising. This year's event was especially memorable for JMYS because it marked the first TrawlerFest attended by our newest broker, Max Merrill. Max joined Jeff throughout the show and made his first appearance in a JMYS Dock Walk and Talk video. In this video, Jeff and Max take you along the docks to share some of the boats on display, the atmosphere around the marina, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of the premier trawler events in North America. Think of this as a visual snapshot of the boats, people, and experiences that make TrawlerFest such a valuable gathering for anyone interested in the cruising lifestyle. One of the highlights of the week was reconnecting with old friends, meeting future cruisers, attending educational seminars, and filming new content for the JMYS YouTube channel. We also had the opportunity to film a new TrawlAboard tour aboard the DeFever 56 Flyin' Low and spend time exploring many of the impressive trawlers on display. Whether you're actively searching for a trawler, planning for retirement cruising, or simply enjoy being around boats, we hope this video gives you a feel for what makes TrawlerFest Anacortes such a special event. The next TrawlerFest will be held in Baltimore, Maryland in September 2026, and we hope to see many of you there.
