Beat the Winter Blues at a Boat or Sports Show
Escape Winter with Exciting Boat and Sports Shows
Dreaming of sun, sand, and surf but stuck in the winter chill? For boat and outdoor enthusiasts, boat and sports shows offer a perfect escape from the winter blues.
In 2003, U.S. boat and boating-related retail purchases hit $30 billion, reflecting the growing popularity of recreational boating. In fact, 72 million people engage in this pastime, surpassing the numbers of golf or tennis enthusiasts, as per the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
Discover Excitement at NMMA Shows
Each year, the NMMA hosts inviting boat shows across the country. These events welcome both seasoned boaters and curious newcomers to a friendly atmosphere, complete with expert advice.
"Whether you're an experienced sailor or new to boating, we want you to feel the excitement," says Steve Tadd, director of NMMA’s Discover Boating program. "Boating is accessible to anyone, whether you're 8 or 80. We're here to show you how fun and easy it can be."
Most NMMA shows provide family-friendly entertainment, often featuring spectacular elements like aquatic animal touch tanks, sea lion performances, remote-control boat races, and interactive activities. Children can typically attend for free or at reduced rates.
Exciting Activities and Attractions
These shows also host experts who offer engaging fishing seminars, boat repair instructions, casting demos, and even scuba-diving lessons. Here are some highlights:
- Scuba Diving: At select events, guests can dive into a tropically warm pool with provided scuba gear.
- Indoor Lake: The Toronto International Boat Show’s Ricoh Coliseum is transformed with over 1 million gallons of water, creating the world’s largest indoor marina. Visitors can explore docks, board boats, dine dockside, and enjoy live entertainment with more than 50 boats present.
