What’s Miami Got That Seattle Ain’t Got?

February 18th, 2008 · by Tim Flanagan, Managing Editor

The Seattle Boat Show is, according to the Seattle Boat Show, "the largest on the west coast." Wow, that sounds pretty impressive.

So it should come as no surprise that the major manufacturers all choose to unveil their newest products…two weeks later at the Miami Boat Show!?!

Curious, I decided to compare the two shows "by the numbers".

  Seattle Boat Show Miami Boat Show
Vessels on display 1,200 3,000
Exhibitors 600 2,200
Attendees 77,000 140,000
Largest boat 76 feet 94 feet
Sponsor NMTA NMMA

 

 

OK, I think I understand now why the manufacturers launch new products in Miami.

Props to Rose Point Navigation for launching Coastal Explorer 2.0 at their "home" show!
