It's time to register for your 2025 Krogen Rendezvous!
Come spend a long weekend in Anacortes learning about your Krogen and cruising in the Northwest with fellow Krogen owners! We have some great presenters lined up to share stories and information on maintenance, surveying, marine insurance, and other important boat topics.
Registration includes two catered dinners and Sunday pancake breakfast, breakfast snacks and beverages daily, all speaker sessions, and Anacortes Yacht Club access during the event. Moorage will be arranged for you with Cap Sante Marina.
Are you interested in a tour of American Tug? For those who would like to come early, arrive in La Conner on Wednesday and join a 4PM afternoon tour! The La Conner marina was alerted that boats may come on Wednesday for the night. Boats will need to make their own moorage arrangements with the Port of La Conner (360-466-3118). Those participating in the tour will meet by the bathrooms, near the main public dock on the North side of town and our very own Jonathan Cooper will lead you on a walk over to the facility.
