DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Daytona Boat Show will return to the Ocean Center later this month, bringing dozens of boat brands, dealers and family activities to Volusia County.
The show runs Sept. 18-20 and is presented by the Marine Industry Association of Central Florida.
Organizers said dealers representing more than 70 manufacturers and brands will take part, with boats ranging from pontoons and fishing boats to center consoles, sport boats and luxury models.
Attendees will be able to board different models, compare features and speak directly with dealers.
Show-only deals and incentives
Organizers said participating dealers and manufacturers are expected to offer limited-time pricing and incentives during the event.
Those could include extended warranties, service packages, upgraded electronics, accessory bundles and other offers.
“Buying a boat is an important investment, and the Daytona Boat Show gives families the opportunity to compare options, ask questions and find the right value in one place,” said Paul Berube, vice president of the Marine Industry Association of Central Florida.
Family activities planned
The show will also feature several activities included with admission.
Children 12 and younger can try catching a live fish at the Let’s Go Fishing Trout Pond.
Organizers also plan sailor stilt walkers, a family-friendly pirate character, photo opportunities, singalongs and caricature drawings.
