Annual Spring Rendezvous

We believe that when you purchase a boat from us, the relationship does not end there. We are less interested in having more boat owners in the world because we are passionate about helping create more of the boaters who embrace the boating lifestyle. Each year we plan a Rendezvous that encourages boaters to come together to experience something new on the water. Here are some pictures of the previous rendezvous we have hosted. We hope you can join us next year!

 

2019 Spring Rendezvous (Rosario Resort, Orcas Island)

The weather on Orcas Island couldn’t have been better for the 2019 Rendezvous.  We did a big group hike up to Cascade Lake & enjoyed the beautiful scenery around Rosario Resort.  We had a really great turnout! Thanks to everyone who made it out!

 

2018 Spring Rendezvous (Blakely Island & Cypress Island)

IPYS crew & customers met at the beautiful Blakely Island Marina as guests of the amazing Harbormaster and his wonderful staff. We enjoyed late nights telling stories around the fire pits on the marina grounds, mornings filled with fresh donuts and coffee, and a comically grueling hike on Cypress Island. We had so much fun we cannot wait to do it all again!

2017 Spring Rendezvous (Lopez, Orcas & Sucia Islands)

For the 2017 Rendezvous, we ventured to Sucia Island for an overnight. It was a perfect day and night for boating and camping. In the process, the group circumnavigated (or partially circumnavigated) Orcas Island.

2016 Spring Rendezvous (Lopez and San Juan Island, WA)

This year we led a group to circumnavigate San Juan Island, with a quick stop for lunch on Roche Harbor. After returning from the expedition, we had some amazing oven-fired pizza at the Krantz house.
