How to Navigate a Boat Show: Pro Tips From Our Team

Boat shows can be a lot of fun and a little overwhelming. With rows of boats, new technology, and plenty of decisions to consider, having a plan can make all the difference. To help you feel confident before you arrive, our team created a series of short videos answering some of the most common boat show questions we hear.

Bring Your Boating Crew

Bring the people you boat with or plan to boat with. Friends, family, and decision-makers all bring valuable perspectives.

What Should I Wear?

Slip-on shoes make getting on and off boats easy, socks are a must, and layers will keep you comfortable all day!

Should I Sit In the Boats?

Yes, comfort matters. Sitting in the seats, walking around & imagining your family on board is the best way to find the right boat.

Appointments

Appointments can be helpful if you want dedicated time with our team or have specific boats you’d like to see.

Create a Must Have List

Watersports, surfing, fishing, cruising, entertaining – make a quick list and bring it with you. Our team can help guide you.

Best Days To Attend?

Weekdays and the first day of the show are typically the best times to attend. You’ll find lighter crowds, more inventory, and sometimes even better deals.
