What to Know
Vessels and the Equipment Around Them
Dealers and manufacturers presented recreational boats across sizes and price ranges. Personal watercraft, electronics, safety equipment, and accessories broadened the floor beyond the vessels.
The Formula 457 Center Console Sport
Named Queen of the Show, the Formula measured 45 feet 7 inches and used triple Mercury 600 Verado engines. Foldaway seating, a large swim platform, and a price around $2 million placed it at the luxury end of the exhibition.
Lessons for Owners and Beginners
Fred's Shed offered free sessions on operation, maintenance, and ownership. Children could build model boats and practice casting at the Fishing Frenzy Ball-Pit Pond.
A Benefit for New York Harbor
An opening-night oyster event at the Discover Boating Beach Club supported Billion Oyster Project's harbor restoration work.
A Long Exhibition History
The organizer dates the show to 1905 and describes it as the world's first and longest-running boat show. Early displays arrived by horse-drawn carriage. The official show site carries later schedules and ticket information.
