MORE THAN JUST A BOAT SHOW!

Make no mistake, the main attraction of the Los Angeles Boat Show is the more than fourteen footballs fields of boats and marine accessories filling two giant indoor halls at the L.A. Convention Center. There's no other boat show west of the Mississippi with as much diversity or impact.....that's a fact. But the Los Angeles Boat Show has also become synonymous with delivering great entertainment and enjoyment for the whole family. Unlike other one-dimensional boat shows that cater to a very narrow audience, the Los Angeles Boat Show provides a full-featured experience with an unlimited array of outstanding new boats from 6 to over 60-feet, plus fun and exciting diversions for family members of all ages. When you attend the Los Angeles Boat Show, don't be surprised to spot a couple of your favorite movie stars (celebrity lookalikes), or perhaps become part of the act with one of our talented novelty performers, or simply enjoy a live musical interlude with the likes of a pitch-perfect barbershop quartet. For the children, there's always the popular kid's art contest where youngsters of all ages draw their dream boat for a chance to win a great prize, or help create an innovative balloon sculpture, or maybe even have their face painted all free of charge. Bottom-line, the boat show is a guaranteed fun family outing whether you intend on simply browsing or buying.

And a special thanks to our many event sponsors and contributors:
• Media sponsor: Los Angeles Times
• Supporting organization: California Department of Boating & Waterways
