Boating seminars offered by marine experts will cover topics such as how to buy a boat, trailer a vessel, navigate Pacific Northwest waters and cruise to new destinations. Fest attendees can stroll the docks and visit booths that provide information on what it takes to get into boating, whether it be obtaining a WA State Boaters Card, learning how to finance and insure a boat, or the ins-and-outs of chartering and boat share.
