Get to Know the Anacortes Waterfront Alliance
The Anacortes Waterfront Alliance (AWA) is a non-profit organization that is committed to serving the waterfront needs of the Anacortes Public. We maintain past accomplishments and affect positive future development through our three core values: Access (Waterfront engagement and storage solutions), Community (Creating inclusive waterfront programs), and Advocacy (A unified voice for the small boating community.
The AWA is passionate about being the “conduit” between our diverse community and the incredible waterfront resources and experiences that our miraculous geography offers. In a timeless sentiment from The Wind in the Willows, Author Kenneth Grahame suggests that “there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats”. For the individuals behind the AWA, our own experiences have led us to the same profound realization and we have made it our personal duty to ensure that these opportunities are available to anybody who might desire them.
Some of the programs we offer are:
- Open Sail – Open Sail offers access to sailboat rentals for summer Learn to Sail program graduates and experienced sailors who can pass a checkout test. We own, store, and maintain fleets so that you can just sail!
- Stand Up Paddle – Get your feet wet in beautiful Fidalgo Bay. SUP is a great way to exercise, unwind after a long day of work, or cool off in the summer sun.
- Lido 14 Racing Fleet – Anacortes is home to Lido Fleet 78-a fund and friendly one-design racing fleet. Community members can get involved with their own boat, crew with other racers, and even charter a limited number of program Lidos.
