Passagemaker's Trawlerfest Series returns to Baltimore!
Baltimore's Inner Harbor - Sept. 27 to Oct. 1

Trawlerfest Baltimore will host an impressive in-water selection of new and pre-owned trawlers, long-range cruisers and coastal cruisers, and first-class education and demonstrations.

Hone your nautical skills in the morning, walk the docks in the afternoon and then retreat for cocktails at the bar where Edgar Allen Poe quaffed his last (before croaking like a raven). The name of Poe’s last tavern, by the way, is The Horse You Came in On. For dinner, there are all sorts of ethnic and seafood choices, including Duck Duck Goose and the “world famous” Bertha’s Mussels, whose reputation first spread via bumper sticker.

Mark your calendars and stand by for more information about boats, seminars and our rendezvous-style nightlife schedule. This will be the third year for Trawlerfest in Baltimore, brought to you by the same people that publish Passagemaker magazine.
