Welcome back to our blog!

Hello all.  Thank you for reading our 2012 blog.  We really appreciate your interest, and your passion for the Krogen Express.

As some of you may know, we have the privilege of piloting one each fall for 2+ months, cruising to the northern boat shows.  It's been two years since I wrote a blog about the adventures of our fall boating season.  Frankly, once every two years is enough for this blogger!!

No doubt everyone knows that the past couple of years in the yacht building business have been extremely challenging.  But we are grateful to say that we have added a wonderful new group of owners to the Krogen Express family over the last 18 months.  We are excited to say that we have new boats in production in our yard in Kaoshiung, Taiwan.  We remain committed to continuous improvements.  Our goal is: one model, and do it right. 

This past spring, we had our second Krogen Express rendezvous.  We began the event in Stuart, Florida at the home of one of our owners who had enough anchorage room for 4 boats.  After a rendezvous kick-off dinner, it was early to bed for our early morning departure.  The next day our flotilla of 4 boats began our trek across the Okeechobee Waterway, through 3 locks, and then to River Forest Marina in LaBelle where we spent the night.   The next day, and another two locks later, we reached our rendezvous destination of South Seas Plantation in Captiva, Florida, meeting up with another 4 boats.  We had twice as many boats as our first rendezvous and 27 attendees!  We spent two days and nights there enjoying the first class resort.  The third day we had a short cruise north to Useppa Island.  It was a wonderful opportunity for our owners to get to know each other and boat-hop! We had a blast!
