A Seattle tradition returns to the city center to celebrate the region’s classic yachts and those who love them.
The Pacific Northwest Fleet of the Classic Yacht Association in conjunction with the Port of Seattle will once again be hosting the Bell Harbor Rendezvous on June 19-21 at Bell Harbor Marina, Pier 66 on Seattle’s downtown waterfront.
Over forty classic motor yachts, many of them built prior to World War II, will welcome visitors throughout this Father’s Day weekend. This event represents the largest gathering of classic motor yachts in the world!
This year’s featured Centennial Fleet honors yachts that continue to embody the elegance and craftsmanship of a golden era of boating. Among the standout vessels are Malibu, Winifred, Faun, Corsair II, and Bo-Peep II— each representing a remarkable chapter in Pacific Northwest maritime history.

On Friday, June 19, 2026 the classic yachts will participate in a Sail-In Parade along the waterfront prior to their arrival at Bell Harbor Marina. An excellent view of the yacht parade will be available from Myrtle Edwards Park or from any of the downtown piers between 1 pm and 4 pm. Please note the marina is not open to the public on this day.
The public is invited to Bell Harbor Marina to view the classics on Saturday, June 20 from 10 am to 4 pm, and on Sunday, June 21 (Father’s Day) from 10 am to 4 pm. Many of the boats will be available for boarding, and owners and captains will be onsite to share stories and history about the yachts in the show. Guests are asked to wear soft-soled shoes and event attendees will be asked to vote for their favorite yacht.
