There are usually around 200 boats of all sizes in the water as well as many marine related business displays featuring everything from boat yard services, hardware, equipment, navigation electronics, clothing, etc.

Sales often occur right at the show, as the brokers are usually prepared to offer special pricing for an at-the-show sale.
