For four days in January, visitors can beat the post-holiday blues and gear up for summer with exciting attractions that are sure to entertain and deals on the best in boating. Avid boaters and those just discovering the boating lifestyle can shop and compare hundreds of boat brands side by side to find competitive deals on everything from luxury motor yachts and sport fishers to performance boats, sailboats, and thousands of marine accessories.
Wake boarding superstars Phil and Bob Soven who star in MTV's The Wake Brothers, will chat with fans about their "extreme" experiences as two of the nation's top-rated professional wake boarders. Other highlights include interactive boating workshops, a real American shipwreck, the Dema 'Be a Diver' pool and Paddlepalooza, the nation's first and longest running boat show offers fun for the whole family with plenty of ways to discover why life is better with a boat.
Kids can marvel at hundreds of boats of all sizes and enjoy playing "captain" as they take the helm, plus family and kid-friendly features include: kids can paddle their own boat in the mini paddleboat lake, get creative at Create-a-Boat, and try their hand at docking in the Powerboat Docking Challenge! Kids ages 13+ can try SCUBA at the Dema "Be a Diver" Pool and test their paddlesports skills on water and on land at Paddlepalooza.
