Seattle Boat Show at Shilshole Bay Marina: Not Your Grandfather’s Boat Show
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 9, 2010
Everyone knows that boats shows are great for checking out the latest gear and shopping for the boat of your dreams. The Seattle Boat Show at Shilshole Bay Marina – August 12 -15 – is no different. There will be more than 150 new and pre-owned boats – ranging from 14 to 74 feet in length – plus an accessory tent full of gear and electronics. That, combined with dealers not wanting to go into the winter months with excess inventory, means plenty of opportunity for good deals for the first-time boat buyer or those wanting to trade up. But if you’re wondering what kind of boating you might enjoy, the Shilshole show will also be the place to check out first-hand a variety of water sports. There will be free 90-minute sailboat rides, free stand up paddleboard lessons and thrilling wakeboard demos from the region’s top riders. Come see what might float your boat!
Wakeboard Alley features thrills and spills
The region’s top, young wakeboarders will take to the water inside Shilshole Bay Marina to perform the sport’s most electrifying and challenging maneuvers. These talented athletes will demonstrate the range of their skills and provide a show jam-packed with grinds, tricks and flips.
