We are getting into the heart of Boat Show season and the thrills just keep on coming! Tickets are now available for the Miami International Boat Show, February 16-20, 2012. Boat show and ticket info: miamiboatshow.com.



The Miami Boat Show is spread across three locations, and tickets are good for all: The Miami Beach Convention Center, Sea Isle Marina & Yachting Center, and Strictly Sail Miami at Miamarina at Bayside. Shuttle bus and water taxi service is available to help you reach the venues, and the weather forecast is sunny and warm.



Twenty-five types of power boats will be represented at this outstanding show. You'll find Monterey Boats on the Main Floor, at B71. Our dealer www.Arch Creek Yacht Sales.comwill be exhibiting our beautiful 340SY, 320SY, 328SS, 280Cr, 260Cr, 264FS, M5, 244FS and 224FSX models.



Features at this North American East Coast show include DIY seminars, Discover Boating Resource Center, Dive Shows, Big Game Room, an informational Water Center, Guy Harvey Artist Pavilion, the 10th Annual Leading with Vision and Values Luncheon, plus reps from the National Geographic Channel's Hit Series Shark Men, and the Miami Marlins. Boating enthusiasts and art aficionados can meet International Game Fish Association Fishing Hall of Fame member Dr. Guy Harvey, who is celebrating a 25-year career as a world-renowned artist, photographer, diver and scientist, by visiting the Artist Pavilion at the Miami Beach Convention Center.



This year's Big Game Room Hall of Fame Inductee is John Brownlee, an accomplished and passionate angler. Appropriately, the Bait Rigging Station is back too, by popular demand.



A Discover Boating Photo Contest Sponsored by The Miami Herald is also scheduled, with great prizes, plus you can register at the Dive & Travel Harbor to win a week's vacation in Quepos/Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, provided by ECO Events Worldwide. You'll also find a helpful Boat Buyers Toolkit there, but the best boat buyer's friend is a reputable and certified dealer.



A boat show is a fantastic experience, and Miami is the perfect host city. A boat show offers attendees the opportunity to spend time up-close-and-personal with experts, dealers, and manufacturers, get all your questions answered, shop for a boat in the best possible environment, with plenty of chances to just talk with other boat owners and enthusiasts. You'll also find great deals and incentives at this time of year.



In addition, you can always find out more about Monterey Boats at our website, www.montereyboats.com.



Miami, Florida, Feb. 16-20. Hope to see you there!
