The Central Gulf Marine Trades Association (CGMTA) will host our first Gulfapalooza, in 2015! The three-day social event is open to all boaters, with our main focus on transient boaters who are navigating the Great Loop and heading south down the Tennessee-Tombigbee to the Gulf of Mexico in the fall. We’d like to offer these boaters an opportunity to stick around and explore coastal Alabama for a few days! We will host Gulfapalooza out of several marinas in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, and more details on dockage are listed below. Our guests will receive a welcome reception, breakfast daily and a special exclusive dinner to close out the event! We’ll also provide a variety of entertaining excursions! Gulfapalooza is all about having fun and enjoying our Gulf Coast amenities!
