Last weekend’s sold-out Anacortes Boat & Yacht Show featuring Trawlerfest featured 100 exhibitors and 231 boats and attracted 3,538 attendees over three days — up significantly from 2,831 attendees in 2025 and marking the show’s strongest attendance since transitioning to a three-day format in 2022.
Tickets were sold across 43 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, highlighting the show’s growing regional and national reach.
“The partnership between Trawlerfest and the Anacortes Boat and Yacht Show is incredibly powerful and benefits us all. Between the free parking, easy access, and proximity to the beautiful town of Anacortes, this is hands down the best show that Seattle Yachts participates in.”
Patrick Harrigan, General Manager, Seattle Yachts
“What an awesome boat show! The energy was palpable every day even on rainy Friday. We had terrific engagements with attendees and are highly confident that our presence at the show will result in additional advertisers, paid subscribers, and increased readership.“
