It’s More Fun In Water! By Marion DalyThe Texas International Boat Show, returns to Corpus Christi for the fourth year with one of the largest in-water Boat Shows in the USA.Corpus Christi is ideally located as a venue for the Boat Show and has proved a welcoming host City with sponsors more than willing to lend a hand to make the show a complete success.
American Bank will again present the Boat Show as the Title Sponsor and
L&F Distributors (Budweiser) and Coca Cola return to sponsor the event along
with NOV (National Oilwell Varco) and Eddie Yaklin Ford.
From its inception the Texas International Boat Show has attracted visitors from across Texas and the USA along with international exhibitors and attendees.
The goal is to create an atmosphere outside of the more traditional style boat show and the Corpus Christi Marina offers a unique layout for this event which serves to make comparison shopping for the right boat easier than ever.
Visitors will have the opportunity to view Bay boats, ski boats, sailboats, powerboats, luxury yachts and the latest water toys, including personal watercraft and plenty of boat and boarding gear, alongside a display of trucks, cars and RV’s, in addition to a wide variety of products and services for the active boating lifestyle. All whilst enjoying local food, music from The Bahamas, Fashion Shows, a Tiki Bar and the incredible watersport events that will surround the Boat Show itself.
One major advantage of the Boat Show is the ability for exhibitors and potential buyers to sea trial the boats during the course of the Show, adding a further dimension to this style of boat show.
The Boat Show also opens the door to those individuals and families who, for whatever reason, have not previously attended a boat show. Boat buyers, vital to growing the recreational boating industry, have totally endorsed this new concept as the growing number of visitors attest to.
This year the Boat Show will include the exciting energy of the
Texas Xtreme Watersports!
