Nine technical seminars at TrawlerFest-Stuart provide attendees with certificates of completion. Our insurance partners say that, depending on one’s insurer, these certificates can help lower your rates.
The seminars are: “Everything You Need To Know About Diesel Engines,” “Choosing, Maintaining & Troubleshooting Outboard Motors & Dinghies,” “Boat Handling Theory,” “Boat Handling on The Water,” “Weather for Cruisers” (at top), “The Haulout! Maintaining a Cruising Powerboat,” Troubleshooting Marine Electronics,” “Anchoring for Couples” and “Getting the Most out of Your Radar.”
TrawlerFest-Stuart is at the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort & Marina, Feb. 28-March 4. The lone exception is the Diesel seminar, which is presented at Whiticar Boat Works’s Shearwater Marine facility a few miles away.
The most cost effective way to attend the largest number of certificate courses is to purchase our five-day VIP Page, which costs $499 but can amount to a value of more than $1,100. Here’s what it includes:
- General Admission to all threedays of TrawlerFest’s In-Water Boat Show
- Unlimited access to seminars (Tuesday-Saturday) (Diesel Engine course and Boat Handling Hands On is NOT available as part of the VIP package)
- Entry for one to Thursday’s Dinner and entertainment.
- Entry for one to Friday’s Docktail Party
There is also a three-day VIP package for $399, which provides similar value for Thursday through Saturday seminars.
Most PassageMaker fans know that TrawlerFest is more than a seminar series. The event’s in-water boat show, runs Thursday, March 2-4. Dozens of power cruisers will be open for inspection on the docks and vendors will be on hand to demonstrate products and services.
