OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
The Waggoner name, a trusted source in the boating community, as been around for over twenty-five years.
It started as the Waggoner Cruising Guide, first published in 1994.
The book wasn’t very thick, and it covered only Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, and the Canadian Gulf Islands.
It lacked many photos and had only a few maps. Today, it is over 500 pages, includes lots of photos and detailed marina diagrams and maps, and is still the most trusted resource for boaters cruising the Pacific Northwest waters from
Olympia, WA to Ketchikan, AK.
The Waggoner Brand provides boaters with a variety of resources, educational materials and classes, and gives Insiders exclusive access to experts in the field, content to expand their boating knowledge and experience, discounts on products and more, and a place to ask questions and share information.
