Boat Show Cruises into LA Convention Center and Marina del Rey

 

February 12, 2015

The 2015 Progressive Insurance Los Angeles Boat Show docks at the

Los Angeles Convention Center and Burton W. Chace Park in Marina del Rey February 19-22 with a "boatload" of vessels and accessories to complement and enhance the boating lifestyle.

Three halls at the LA Convention Center will house hundreds of new boats, ranging from entry-level weekend family cruisers to million dollar yachts, plus thousands of the newest marine gadgets and gear. The location in Marina del Rey will debut SailFest in 2015, featuring dozens of new and brokerage sailboats and yachts, along with expanded seminars and sailing vendors showcasing the newest sailing product.

"Last year, boating participation was at an all-time high in the US, and the California boating industry has seen a surge as more people are taking to the water*. At the Progressive Insurance Los Angeles Boat Show, everyone can experience the ease and accessibility to owning a boat. The 2015 show features incredible deals on current marine inventory along with a variety of ways to experience the boating lifestyle at two great venues," said Dave Geoffroy, VP, NMMA West.

At both locations, boats of all sizes and price ranges will be ready for attendees to board and buy, from sport fishing vessels and cruisers to personal watercraft and pontoons, plus much more. In addition to browsing hundreds of boats, attendees can learn to captain a boat with daily powerboating and sailing lessons at the Marina del Rey location.

The 2015 Progressive Insurance Los Angeles Boat Show is full of interactive events for the whole family, including:

• New! SailFest at Marina del Rey – It's a sailor's delight with dozens of sailboats, gear and accessories to shop, plus sailing seminars, on-water lessons from top instructors, and a sailing simulator to get those feet wet before hitting the water.

• Try It Cove – Get on the water indoors at the LA Convention Center with activities including stand up paddleboarding (SUP), SCUBA, and kayaking.

• Kids' Zone – Keep the kiddos busy with remote control sailboat races, toy boat building, balloon artists, and the new Fishing Friendzy – a new catch and release fishing pond!

• Take a boating lesson along the bay, sharpen DIY skills, new Boating 101 – From Discover Boating Hands-On Skills Training where attendees get on the water to learn the ropes from USCG-certified captains, to Fred's Shed Interactive Learning Center for the DIY boater and dozens of other seminars for all ages and levels of experience – everyone can expand their nautical know-how and prepare for fun and safety on the water.
