Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the
Port Credit In-Water Boat Show continues to attract an ever increasing enthusiastic audience of seasoned and novice boaters. If the results from last year are any indication of how our 20th anniversary will fare, then we can expect another sold out show and even more boating spectators.
Hosted at Port Credit Harbour Marina in Mississauga, ON, we are strategically located in the heart of Lake Ontario boat country, within 2 hours of South Western Ontario; Muskoka; Georgian Bay and the Newcastle area. We are easily accessible by highway; public transit and water.
Show features include boat displays both in-the-water and on the hard; land displays of marine services; a seminar tent (featuring speakers on cruising; hands-on learning and safety); and a consignment tent, where boaters can bring their ‘old’ stuff and sell it!
The Port Credit Boat Show is just the right size for any boat buyer to see all the displays and board all the boats. There’s no way you can be missed at our show! It’s a great place to sell-off 2010 product, showcase new 2011 product – or book services for the fall.
Show costs are extremely affordable. Dock space begins at $300 for boats up to 25' to $600 for docks that and can easily accommodate boats up to 50’. There is room on the hard for bulk boat displays beginning at 1,000 feet for $2.00 per square foot. Local motels and eateries are close at hand, or exhibitors can stay on the boat. The Port Credit Harbour Marina is a full-service marina with full changing facilities. And there are numerous other show support services including free parking, tables and chairs, canopies and installation included, hydro and internet access available on request.
We are planning an extensive advertising and promotion campaign in marine and local non-marine media beginning early May, 2010. This will encompass TV, radio, print and internet advertising. Our internet reach will include social media tools such as Facebook; Twitter; free calendar sites (Kijji) and our very own Port Credit Boat Show blog – where we will highlight all of our exhibitors and show features.
But don’t take our word for how valuable the show is to your business. Listen to what exhibitors from last year’s show said...
“This is a great show,” said Shawn Bannon sales representative for
Navy Point Marine, dealers for Jeanneau and Island Packet.
“We sold two boats, one used, and one new. This is a show of qualified buyers. You always sell a boat at this show!”
"
We can credit selling two boats from this show" stated Ryan Wheeler, sales manager for
Skyline Marina. "
And we've made some great contacts and have great leads we can follow up on."
First time exhibitor Ken Harrison representing four product line including
Furuno stated,
“I was astounded at the calibre of people who attend this show. I’ve had great questions, and lots of emails through-out the show asking for more information.”
