Whether you\u2019re attending with the intention of buying or just excited for a fun day out, we&#8217;ve put together a few pointers to help you plan.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Boat Show DO&#8217;S AND DONT&#8217;S<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The golden rule &#8211; ask permission prior to boarding a boat that you&#8217;d like to tour.<\/li>\n<li>You must remove your shoes before boarding a boat (this is generally common practice for any boat not just at a show). Wear a comfortable pair that are easy to slip on and off.<\/li>\n<li>Do not request to use the head (bathroom) on board, find one ashore at the show.<\/li>\n<li>Many boat shows are full sun and can be very hot. Be prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses and\/or a hat. Avoid dark colors and heavy materials, it can make for a very uncomfortable afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>Most shows don&#8217;t allow strollers on floating docks. Plan accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>If you are walking the docks with little ones, be safe and make sure they are wearing a life jacket. Visit a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatingsafety.com\/page\/life-jacket-loaner-program\">Sea Tow Foundation Life Jacket Loaner Station<\/a> at the show and pick one up to borrow for the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Carve out some time to stop by the Sea Tow booth! It&#8217;s a great opportunity to meet your local captain and ask any membership related questions.<\/p>\n<p>With so many vendors, products, and delicious food you are sure to have a fun-filled day exploring all that a show has to offer.
