Miami Boat Show Opens Today, Outlook Bright for Boat Sales
The 2018 Progressive® Insurance Miami International Boat Show® kicks off today at Miami Marine Stadium Park & Basin. 2018 marks the show’s third year on Virginia Key and the addition of Strictly Sail Miami, bringing the industry together at one location to showcase the most comprehensive collection of power and sail. As new boat sales continue to rise and with favorable economic indicators such as a healthy housing market and rising disposable income, the 2018 Miami Boat Show is expected to be a strong selling event for the industry.
With the streamlining of the show’s venues into one location also comes the streamlining of transportation options to get you there. Having three years under its belt, the Miami Boat Show has taken feedback from exhibitors and attendees to deliver an enhanced transportation plan, making it easier to get to and from the show with complimentary shuttle and water taxi service and more parking options. See here for details. Additional elements for 2018 include a new VIP area, a new menu of dining options from Great Performances, and attendee favorites such as the Discover Boating Hands-On Skills Training clinics.
The popular Innovation Breakfast takes place tomorrow, featuring a host of industry awards’ presentations and special guest speakers. Details about the awards and other news from the Breakfast will be included in tomorrow’s edition of Currents.
The 2018 Progressive Insurance Miami International Boat Show runs through President’s Day, February 19. For more information and to exhibit next year, visit MiamiBoatShow.com.
