2019 Grand Banks Rendezvous – Registration NOW OPEN

Join us at the 2019 Grand Banks Rendezvous in Roche Harbor!

Registration is now OFFICIALLY open – Click Here to Register!

It’s time to escape the everyday grind and find your rhythm somewhere special!  A Groovy Grand Banks Rendezvous is all about having fun in a relaxed atmosphere.  Think wine tasting, dancing on the docks, amazing food, and great friends!  Don flowers, beads, and break out those retro clothes – bell bottoms, miniskirts, leisure suits and Birkenstocks – to let loose, dance and get your groove on as we celebrate the 1960s at Roche Harbor Resort and Marina from May 8th-12th.

Registration fees are $250 per boat ($230 for early bird rates!) with up to two people onboard (additional fees apply for extra people and kids – see the registration form for details.)  We’ve got a terrific program lined up with something for just about everyone!

  • 10 seminars over three days, discussing various topics on weather, life safety, navigation, provisioning, customs, boat systems, and much, much more!
  • Docktails on Wednesday evening to welcome new members and gather our GB community together
  • Vessel and fire extinguisher inspections
  • Morning coffee and donuts
  • Games and kids events
  • Wine tasting
  • A sponsor faire and boat visits by sponsors
  • A stem to stern bilge sale (more to come on this!)
  • “Get Your Groove On” at a 1960s theme night potluck and dance
  • Tour of the Lime Kiln Lighthouse – best whale watching spot in the Puget Sound!
  • Saturday night Grand Dinner in the Pavilion with appetizers, dinner, dessert and drinks!
  • And more!

Additional Activities (not included in Registration Fee):
This year, four Women on Water (WOW) sessions are being offered. Women learn to pilot a vessel in a stress-free environment under the tutelage of an experienced captain. WOW training registrations are pre-paid ($20) and assigned, and WOW fees are non-refundable. All fees collected are donated to the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor.

“Entertaining from Your Galley” is the theme of Chef Shaw’s four-course Cooking Demo and Wine Pairing, presented by Roche Harbor’s Executive Chef Bill Shaw. Tickets are limited to 75 individuals, and are pre-sold at $55.00/ticket.
