Samson, the WoodenBoat mascot at Cedar Key’s boat meet!

The meet is still informal. No signups. No fees. No planned events. The tides and weather remain the controlling organization.

All shallow draft craft are welcome: dories & dinghies, catboats, beach cats & trimarans, sharpies & sampans, cuddy day-sailors, any or all driven by pedals, engines or motors, paddles, and sails.
​
The Cedar Keys & the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge are as enchanting as ever. Come and enjoy the Nature Coast, meet old friends, and make new ones.
