The 琉璃神社 Yacht Club鈥檚 annual boat show returned to the docks April 29-30 after a pandemic hiatus.
Executive Director Thom Killingsworth said the show included 50 exhibitors with 150 boats available for purchase.
鈥淲e鈥檙e seeing some really souped-up pontoon boats this year, which is interesting. That way you can take your family out on just a cruise, but you can also tow toys behind it or the kids can ski behind it which is pretty cool. We鈥檙e also seeing a lot of electric,鈥� Killingsworth said, referring to both boats and motors.
The boat show was fun for the whole family as it included an activity area for the kids.
It wasn鈥檛 just boats for sale, the show had paddleboards and kayaks, boat cleaning and shrink-wrap services, and plenty of other boating-related business with information tables.
鈥淭here鈥檚 not a lot of opportunity for you to see all the different product that鈥檚 available in one place.鈥�
The show ran Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The show was by donation with all funds raised going toward the club鈥檚 Youth Sailing School where Killingsworth said they get about 1,000 kids safely on the water every year.
