2026 Rendezvous Recap: Mardi Gras!

Some weekends stay with you long after you leave the dock. This September, Solara Boats, Ranger Tugs, and Cutwater Boats owners gathered at Roche Harbor Resort and Marina on San Juan Island for the world’s largest rendezvous. With Mardi Gras as our theme, decorated boats, dockside happy hours, and a Bourbon Street Bash brought a spirited celebration to a memorable setting.

‍

The weekend offered room both for activities and a slower pace. A scavenger hunt invited owners to explore throughout the gathering, while the fishing and crabbing derby made time on the water part of the fun. Pickleball and cornhole championships brought people together for friendly competition. Between events, there were shops to browse, island views to take in, and unhurried conversations with friends old and new.

‍

Daily seminars offered another way to feel more at home on the water. Industry experts and technical advisors shared guidance on engine maintenance, Garmin electronics, and choosing your next cruising destination. Whether owners were learning a system or finding inspiration for a future getaway, the sessions helped make the next outing feel all the more exciting.

‍

Throughout the Rendezvous, attendees could also explore updated models from Solara Boats, Ranger Tugs, and Cutwater Boats. This private boat show offered time to step aboard, experience different spaces, and speak with factory staff and experts at their own pace. It was an opportunity to discover new possibilities for the way they enjoy the water.

‍

We closed the gathering with dinner, dancing, and one more evening together. Thank you to everyone who brought their energy and made this year’s Rendezvous their own. We look forward to more shared experiences in 2027. Be on the lookout for details on the next Fluid Motion Rendezvous.
