About Stuart, Florida
The city of Stuart is a quaint community with a restored downtown
full of shops, restaurants, cultural attractions, and history.
Located on the St. Lucie River, Stuart is a yachtsman’s paradise
that sits at the eastern end of the Okeechobee Waterway, where
the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean. Moderate
temperatures make it an ideal location for a winter vacation. Point
your bow toward Stuart for the 13th annual Trawler
Fest in Florida!
About The Venue
The Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina will be
the premiere location for our Southeast Trawler Fest event. Easily
accessible yet distant from the congestion of South Florida, this
resort has long been a best-kept secret...the hidden jewel of the
Treasure Coast. The
facility is a 200-acre island resort conveniently located about
45 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport. It features 276
deluxe accommodations, more than 25,000 square feet of flexible
meeting facilities, a 77-slip marina, and a beautiful setting in
which to meet people who share your boating interests and to expand
your knowledge about the cruising-under-power lifestyle.
Be
sure to catch Captain Henry’s Safety Seminar:
"Outfitting
for Safety"
Capt.
Henry Marx, Landfall Navigation
Friday, January 23, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
This seminar is designed for the new boat owner and covers how
to equip your new yacht for safety above and beyond the minimum
USCG requirements. Capt. Henry Marx of Landfall Navigation will
help you identify the difference between inshore, coastal, and
offshore cruising and how your intended route and potential weather
conditions will influence the equipment you put on board.
You will become familiar with the gear you need ranging from PFDs
to distress signals to fire extinguishers. You will also discuss
the basics required for a proper medical kit, damage control kit,
and abandon ship bag and gear. This seminar will enable you to
equip your boat with the safety items you need to cruise in confidence.
