Have questions about fall boating?

Can I Really Keep Boating After Labor Day?

Absolutely! September and October offer some of the best boating conditions of the year.

After Labor Day, the crowds thin out, the water calms down, and you'll find glassy mornings and peaceful anchorages throughout the Pacific Northwest. Fall weather in the Puget Sound region is often mild and stable, with beautiful clear days perfect for exploring.

Do I Need to Winterize My Boat Right Now?

Not at all. You can enjoy your boat well into October while still planning ahead for winter.

We encourage you to schedule your winterization, service, and storage appointments now so you can lock in your preferred dates and keep boating with peace of mind.
