Spring Into Summer At The Port Credit Spring Boat Show

2015 Port Credit Boat Show

The Credit Village Marina will be host to the Port Credit Spring Boat Show this May 29 to 31, 2015. Think of this as the official kick-off to your boating season!

The Port Credit Spring Boat Show is right in the heart of the beautiful Port Credit waterfront and isn’t it true that the best place to see a boat is on the water!

The show will feature power and sailboats to 55ft plus. You will find boats on display from tenders to yachts and everything in between. And, there will be both new and pre-owned inventory on display.

You’re sure to find something to fire the imagination! Then, to get to a more practical and enjoyable point, every boater will find a wide assortment of boating related products, accessories and services at the various displays spread throughout the attractive Credit Village Marina facility.

The Port Credit Spring Boat Show is Ontario’s premier spring in-water boat show
But it’s far more than just a boat show. There is live entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday too.

Then, there are also restaurants and nearby shopping to add to the experience.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
