“We are very excited to be part of this innovative team for the first ever Channel Islands Harbor Marinafest. Though we’ve enjoyed hosting the Ventura County Boat Show for the past 16 years, we felt it was time to move forward and create a brand-new event that has a greater community and boater focus. We look forward to sharing the joy our Harbor brings and this important sport and past-time with the entire community.” – Brian Dunn, General Manager of Vintage Marina Partners, co-producer.
