I went on Thursday. I was in shock at how crowded it was. Also, plan on taking the bus, water-taxi, etc. to get there. I needed to be in and out within about 4 hours so I got raped by paying $50 for parking right at Las Olas and A1A. A little closer it actually got to $100 to park!!! It really was a great show though, except for one boat I visited. I wanted to see the new Island Pilot 43...it was there and was okay, but the guys showing it couldn't have cared less that I was there. Literally ignored me even when I tried to get info....very disappointing from them, but the show was great as usual (except for parking)!

Have fun!
 
Having recently moved to Las Olas, I can't wait for the show to end!
 
What a deal! Tri-Rail runs a discounted fare on weekends.
It cost(Seniors) $2.oo Total round trip From Delray- Ft. Lauderdale including the Tri-Rail weekend Connector (Sun Trolley) that takes you the area ..1 block away.
Our entrance tickets were from the "Marine Industries Association of South Florida ,Gratis
We were lucky if we covered a quarter of the show.
Fantastic show! a plethora of information was readily available to any questions asked.
Time just flew by, so we ended up trying to catch an earlier train at 14:40 hrs. My pal Capt. Bernie was in a rush to get back to his boat, so we took a cab for $30.00 to try and make the train, missed it by five minuets and had to wait till 16:40.. Well If you don't know, there are no bathrooms on any station, only on the trains. My friend had a rough time while I was enjoying a cold refreshment. we spent the next couple of hours reading over the material that we had received at the show, all in all it was the best Boat Show that I have ever attended and I been to a number of them in the Eastern Seaboard States.
Just my opinion.It is still open tomorrow .
Have Fun.
