Are you planning on coming to the show? We recommend you prepare ahead of time to ensure you have the most meaningful, educational and fun experience possible!
1. Download the MyBoatShow app.
A boat show with an app, you ask? Surely one event doesn't require an entire mobile app! We think it does. The (free!) app has a new search feature that allows you to search for boats by name; a “Connect” feature that you can use to connect with Show Management; access the show's YouTube, Twitter and Facebook pages; and the option to subscribe to their e-newsletter. The app even has a map of the show! Better yet, if you're a boat show enthusiast like we are, the same app can be used for other major Florida shows (read: The Yacht and Brokerage Show in Miami Beach and others).
2. Take notes.
Seriously. Pretend you're in school again, because you won't be able to keep all of the boat and pricing information straight in your head. Write down everything you think you might need to come to a decision later in the show. If you take notes on your phone, great, but if not, make sure you bring that pen and paper!
3. Plan a strategy.
If you just plan to meander around the show, go for it. But if there are particular dealers or vendors you want to see, make sure you scope out the show ahead of time. You don't want to get to the show and not be able to find your favorite dealer! (Hint hint.) So check out maps ahead of time to make sure you hit all of your highlights.
We think those are the most important 3 things to help make your boat show experience the best possible. But if you have remaining questions, be sure to check out the show's FAQ page!
Now last, but certainly not least, make sure you visit us! Our booth is Land 513-516, and we'll have a bunch of Nautic Star boats on display. We'd love to see your face!
