A Year of Fellowship: Highlights from the 2024 Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats Gatherings

Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats Rendezvous are more than just events—they are the heartbeat of a vibrant community. These gatherings forge lasting friendships, create unforgettable memories, and strengthen the bonds between enthusiasts nationwide. With informative talks led by representatives from Garmin, Volvo, and Yamaha, attendees deepen their understanding of their vessels and the waters they navigate. The presence of Fluid Motion Factory representatives adds an extra layer of insight, connecting owners directly with the experts who know these boats inside and out.

This year, gatherings took place in several locations:

• Alaska Tugnuts Rendezvous – Valdez, AK
• Chesapeake Bay Rendezvous – Cambridge, MD
• East Florida Rendezvous – Fort Pierce, FL
• Great Lakes Rendezvous – Traverse City, MI
• New England Rendezvous – Milford, CT
• Southwest Florida Rendezvous – Punta Gorda, FL

At each rendezvous, the sense of community was unmistakable. Attendees shared delicious meals, swapped stories over the glow of sunset, and built bonds that transcend miles and waterways. Many participants found that these events enriched their boating experiences, especially those journeying along notable routes like America's Great Loop.
