Expanding Dreams with the World of Small Boats

Small-Boat Area

A look at how to enjoy small boats in unique ways as well as some tips for their safe use

Small boats are popular as they provide easy access to the world of boating, and the Small-Boat Area will have mostly inflatable boats on display. A great deal of customization is possible with these small craft, and being able to tailor and specialize them to suit the owner's favorite uses is one of their major points of appeal. At the Boat Show, several types of small boats are on display, but we also will be running lectures and the like to impart to visitors ways to make boating not only safer but also comfortable and fun.
