I just spoke to one of the Brokers that will be displaying boats at Trawler Fest 2014 in Lake Park, FL. According to him, there was talk that the hotel/marina in Lauderdale was a bit difficult to work things out with, so they are moving up the ICW to an upscale marina in Lake Park (just outside of West Palm Beach). This means the most convenient airport would be West Palm Beach instead of Ft. Lauderdale, but if one intends to rent a car from the airport anyway, Ft. Lauderdale could still be a reasonable alternative with only an extra hour or so of travel to the Lake Park venue. This is still the same sponsored Trawler Fest that has been in Lauderdale the last few years, and should be just as well attended. Don't let the new location throw you off. It's not "some other" Trawler Fest.
