Welcome to the February edition of Cruising Notes, a monthly email message from Clark Haley, Broker for Denison Yacht Sales. My wife, Michelle and I spent 10 Years cruising Newfoundland Canada, the East Coast of the US , the Bahamas, and the eastern and western Caribbean. With almost 50,000 miles under our keel, we’ve seen a few things that I enjoy sharing here and on our travel sites. This month we’re taking a close look at Getting the Most Value from attending a Boat Show.


5 Ways to Improve
Your Boat Show Experience
In the mid/late 80’s, I was managing the Annapolis store for Backyard Boats. As a poor boy from south Texas, the winters were brutal for me. For 5 days every winter, I traded my heavy down jacket, insulated long pants, and rubber boots for shorts, a hawaiian shirt, and sandals to I attend the Miami Boat Show. These days I’m working the South Florida shows and I’ve traded my sandals and ragged boat shorts for dress slacks and boat shoes, but I’ll never give up my hawaiian shirts (I just have a Denison Logo embroidered on them)! We just finished up the Miami boat Show and the Palm Beach Boat Show will be held March 19-23, 2025. This article will help you improve your boat show experience. [Click Here for the Full Article]
