More than 10,000 people in 4 days. Waterfront living exhibits, fishing features, ATVs, SUPs, Kayaks and other outdoor exhibits make this boat show an exciting marketplace for thousands of outdoor minded people from surrounding counties and Canada. Macomb, Wayne and Oakland counties have the highest number of boats per capita in Michigan with more than 200,000 registered boats on file.
Powerful advertising, PR and Social Media campaigns assure this show is highly promoted and to the right demographic.
