Seattle Boat Show Opens Today at Two Locations

SEATTLE — The 65th annual Seattle Boat Show opens today and continues for 10 days through Feb. 5. The largest boat  show on the West Coast with two locations, indoors and afloat, it has something for everyone. For those who wakeboard, waterski, fish, kayak, cruise or race, under power or sail, on boats small or large, or simply want to outfit their boats with new gear or hone their skills at seminars, this show’s for them.

Attractions and promotions at the show include:

If money is no object, the largest boat at the show is 90 feet with an asking price of $3,950,000. Showgoers can tour it and a host of other luxury yachts at South Lake Union.

Budget a little smaller, Yamaha returns to the show with 10 new models that include six new boats and four new WaveRunners. Yamaha is also offering special boat show pricing and financing.

1957 Restored Classic Chris Craft — Chris Craft’s are known for their style and great design and craftsmanship. This classic beauty has been lovingly restored by the local chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society.

Amazing Orca Boat — Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a killer whale? No it’s Seabreacher. A unique submersible vessel designed to look like an Orca whale, reaching speeds up to 55mph with the ability of “jumping” as high as 16 feet. It can be viewed at CenturyLink Field along with amazing video of it in action.

Grind it Out — For those who want to know what it’s like to crew on a high performance sailing boat, the Harken ‘Coffee Grinder’ will give them an idea. The pedestal winch, just like the used in the last America’s Cup is carbon fiber and drives an 1111 winch. Showgoers can turn the handles and test their speed, strength and skill. Lowest times on the board can win great Harken sailing gear.

Kids Aqua Paddlers — Fun for the little boaters, kids attending the Seattle Boat Show can enjoy time on the water using the new Aqua Paddlers paddle boats. Life jackets will be provided. Aqua Paddlers will be available for use each day of the show.

Pitch A Fish — Fish tossing is a popular attraction at Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market. At the show the Pitch-a-Fish contest will give showgoers the chance to try it themselves by tossing (plastic) fish 30-feet through the air into a target for a chance to win a new 16-foot Avalon Eagle Pontoon boat from Tom’s Boat Shop.
