Dock Walk and Talk - Stuart, Florida TrawlerFest 2022

The first TrawlerFest of 2022 was held in early March in sunny Stuart, Florida. This was a great location for trawler cruisers to congregate and the beautiful scenery mixed with the ideal temperatures and clear skies made the Hutchinson Island Marriott a fabulous venue to kick off this year’s event calendar.
On the Friday of TrawlerFest, Jeff took a stroll to film this #DockWalkAndTalk video, showing every aspect of the show starting from the parking lot, to the friendly faces in vendor tents, over to the docks to show off the boats, and back inside the hotel to tour the classroom spaces.
The marina at the Marriott has in-water docks, which making stepping aboard convenient and easy, but we did not have the selection of boats present that we normally do. As brokers, we would have loved to have trawlers for sale on display, but didn’t have any close by available for sale that we could showcase.
There were a total of 15 boats on display, from Ranger Tugs to the Kadey-Krogen 58. The Kadey Krogen company had a great display with a 48, 52 and 58. Burr Yacht Sales brought in a Fleming 55, a beautiful boat which provided a bit of variety amongst the Krogens.
Overall, it was a fantastic show and the team at Passagemaker outdid themselves once again.
We hope you enjoy this video and we look forward to seeing you at the next TrawlerFest in Anacortes, WA on May 17th - 21st !

How many boats are expected for the show this year?

@JeffMerrillYachts 5 ай бұрын

Clean: TrawlerFest.com will be updated with the list of exhibitors and it will become more accurate as we get closer to the show. JMYS intends to have a Nordhavn 50 and Selene 55 available at the display docks, but I can't speak for other brokers. Come on over and say hello!

I was enjoying your video Jeff but didn't see any nordhavn or outer reef yachts which ATM I am extremely interested in, despite this it was an interesting tour!

@JeffMerrillYachts 2 жыл бұрын

John: Unfortunately, there were a lot of major brands who did not have new or used trawlers to show. It's tough, brokers would love to have trawlers on display, but in this market if it's listed for sale it seems to sell very quickly. Nordhavn and Outer Reef are both great brands, at least Kadey-Krogen and Fleming were in attendance!

@@JeffMerrillYachts yes I did notice Jeff, travelling is not a option for me ATM but I am still interested in either an outer reef or a nordhavn 60.

It is actually a Jarvis Newman 46, finished off by Lee Wilbur. Unfortunately, the 3rd or 4th owner extended the house. She was Owned by Billy Joel at one time, then MBNA as a corporate entertaining boat in Camden Maine. I may have shown you the one MBNA built on a Wesmac 50 hull at Wilbur as a successor when you were in Hobe Sound last year. Best, Maldwin
