Port Credit In-Water Boat Show Review
Boating Industry Canada reported that the 19th annual Port Credit In-Water Boat Show closed its gates late Sunday evening to a resounding success. Boat exhibitors sold 13 boats at the show, with another 9-10 serious offers that they anticipate will close by the end of this week.“This is a great show,” said Shawn Bannon sales representative for Navy Point Yachts, dealers for Jeanneau and Island Packet. “We sold two boats; one used, one new. This is a show of qualified buyers. You always sell a boat at this show!”
“We can credit selling two boats from this show” stated Ryan Wheeler, sales manager for Skyline Marina. “And we’ve made some great contacts and have solid leads we can follow up on”.
Over 75 boats – new and used, power and sail – were on the docks and on the hard this past weekend at Port Credit Harbour Marina in Mississauga. Visitors were able to view boats ranging from inflatables to large cruisers. In the grand tent, were marine exhibits including displays by Furuno, Services Canada, Lee Sails, SailTime and Robertson and Robertson Insurance, to name a few.
“We were absolutely delighted with the show this year” said Lori Mason show manager. The dealers and brokers supported us, the media were here, the crowds came – even the weather co-operated. We are pumped and ready for next year’s show!”
The Port Credit In-Water Boat Show celebrates its 20th anniversary next year. The show is planned for August 27, 28, and 29th 2010 at the Port Credit Harbour Marina. www.portcreditboatshow.ca
