Gig Harbor Boat Works’ Sea Stories are periodic features that bring real world experiences with the company’s boats to life, whether they be tales of exploration and adventure, technical sailing know-how, or blue-collar life on the water. Written in the company’s authentic voice and prominently featured on the blog, email campaigns, and social media, they capture the lifestyle and unique connection that people have with the water.
