The 2013 Moncton Boat Show Cruises Out a Winner!

2013 Moncton Boat Show

The owners of the Moncton Boat Show, Master Promotions Ltd. are pleased to announce that the 2013 edition of New Brunswick’s largest boat show was a resounding success!  Saturday attendance was off the charts.

Attendance was up over 12% and broke the 10,000 mark during the course of the three day event. Saturday attendance was outstanding and the atmosphere almost electric in the Moncton Coliseum.

Exhibitors reported brisk sales with many solid leads to follow up on before the 2013 boating season officially begins. Many exhibitors are actively rebooking their space for the next event.

This was the largest selection of boats ever seen before at the Moncton event and visitors were amazed by the range of boats, motors, docks and other boating related equipment available.

Exhibitors reported strong interest in pontoon boats, bowriders and mid to large size cruisers. Aluminum boats were still a strong contender in the Atlantic Canadian Market and if this show was any indication, it is going to be a busy year on the river in New Brunswick.

Congratulations to the winner of the Action Car & Truck Accessories Door prize which was a $500.00 Gift Card. That went to Ken Reynolds.

We are now actively planning for our 2014 edition of the Moncton Boat Show and will be releasing dates in the near future.

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.
