Boat Shows to Ring in the New Year

We’re not even in 2017 yet, and we can already tell that it’s going to be an exciting year for boaters. Not even one week will pass after New Year’s Day before you get a chance to explore some of the best deals and latest innovations in the industry—yes, we’re talking about a boat show!

The highly-anticipated London Boat Show is just the first of many shows we have to look forward to in January alone. In today’s blog, we’re taking a closer look at a few of these shows—so get your calendars ready and enjoy!

Head across the pond for the London Boat Show, an international event that kicks off January 6th. You will be able to enjoy ten days of insightful speakers on the show’s London Stage, virtual reality sky dives, and select appearances by fan favorite Titan the Robot (who’s sure to “wow” kids and adults alike)! If you need galley gear, water toys, or even helpful on-board services, the show’s got what you need—and of course, if you’re searching for a new boat or Monterey gear, count on local Monterey dealer Gibbs Boat Sales to help you along the way.
