This year’s\u00a0San Diego Sunroad Boat Show returns to Harbor Island, Jan. 25-28, with more than 200 boats on display. It’s now the largest boat show on the West Coast, with something for everyone in the recreational boating world. Offerings range from trailerable boats\u00a0and inflatables, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards\u00a0shown on land to sail and powerboats from 30- to 90-feet exhibited in the water
\nThe 28-year-old ever-larger\u00a0winter boat show, now in its 9th\u00a0year at Sunroad, debuts on Thursday, Jan. 25 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 28 at Sunroad Resort Marina, located at 955 Harbor Island Drive, at Harbor Island’s east end. Show hours are noon to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
\nThe show provides guests the chance to tour both new and used sail and powerboats in every price range, style and size. The show is split about 60-40 between power and sail boats, with more new boats than previous years, explained show director Jim Behun, who doubles as the marina\u2019s general manager.\u00a0
\n“This is a show organized by boaters for boaters of all kinds. Exhibits and vendors are all boating-related,” Behun said, explaining that show has expanded to more temporary docks.
\nAmong the dealers exhibiting are South Coast Yachts, showing the B\u00e9n\u00e9teau sail and power lines and debuting the Monte Carlo 6, Sun Country Marine displaying Sea Rays and Boston Whalers, JK3 Nautical Enterprises’ Hanse sailing yachts and Alexander Marine’s Ocean Alexanders and Hatteras yachts. Numerous sailing catamarans are also featured.
\nBoating education will again play a significant role at the boat show. With the phase-in of the newly required California Boaters Card, the Division of Boating and Waterways, located in Booth 138, will provide information about boating safety classes needed to obtain a boaters card.
\nOn Friday, Saturday and Sunday the pavilion hosts seminars on subjects including electric versus diesel power, sailboat propulsion, offshore sailing and weather forecasting.
\nRepresentatives from 12 Mexican marinas and boatyards will be on hand describing their facilities and amenities and present seminars on boating in Mexico.
\nAgain this year exhibitors will provide free boat rides for the entire family.\u00a0
\nUnlike many boat shows, the Sunroad show offers both new and brokerage boats in the water. The show\u2019s exhibits under an expansive tent include over 100 vendors offering widely ranging marine services and equipment,\u00a0\u00a0electronics, nautical products, boating supplies and accessories.
\nShow tickets are $13, with children 12 and under free. Active-duty military, police, EMTs and fire personnel with ID are free Thurs. and Fri.\u00a0
\nDebido a los muelles abarrotados, el personal del espect\u00e1culo les pide a los invitados que dejen las mascotas y los cochecitos en casa, y los animales de servicio siempre son bienvenidos.
\nPaid parking is available adjacent to the marina on Harbor Island Drive, with shuttle service provided. Sunroad\u2019s Island Deli and other vendors will offer varied menus. Nearby, Island Prime\/C Level Lounge and Coasterra Restaurant provide alternate dining options.
