Boat Show Season

Depending on where you live determines how you celebrate the Christmas season as a boater. Some people go all out and decorate their boats in Christmas lights and throw boat parties and cap everything off with a parade. Those are the people that we envy this time of year because for most of us our boats are tucked away until spring commissioning.

So what can we do to keep boating at the top of our minds during this non boating season? That is the hard part; which is why there was such a thing called boat show season. This season starts the beginning of January and usually goes through March and it is when most of the major boat shows happen. What can you do to prepare for the upcoming boat show season? I would start by first finding all the shows that you would like to attend. You can do so by using this tool from Discover Boating. Mark those dates in your calendar and start getting excited.

One of the most important ways that you prepare for a boat show is to get your budget in order before you head out. You don’t want to be at a boat show and have that discussion with your significant other once you have fallen in love with a boat that is way out of your price range. Of course, you don’t have to buy a boat when you go to a boat show. But know what you want to spend whether it is $20 or $200,000.

Now that you are well on your way to enjoying boat show season you can keep boating at the front of your mind all throughout the off season. Leave us a comment letting us know which boat show you are most excited to attend.
