Boat show season may fall at the heart of winter, but you won’t need to bundle up to visit the Stuart Boat Show—a Treasure Coast gem that pairs industry insights with the warm, sunny allure of Florida’s on-the-water scene. Ready to enjoy? Read on for our quick guide to exploring the Stuart Boat Show, which cruises into town January 11th .
Amp up your on-the-water game
One of the best boat show opportunities in our book? All the things you can learn while you’re there! This year’s seminar schedule offers an abundance of educational topics worth checking out. Adult and kids’ fishing clinics will give the whole family a chance to learn more about the art of angling, while seminars on popular destinations like the Great Loop, Bahamas and Florida Keys will offer an insider’s look at the joy of travel and how to prepare for specific routes. There will also be opportunities to learn about on-board electronics and how they can improve your on-the-water adventure. And, for a chance to hear from a real pro, be sure to catch Wicked Tuna’s Paul Hebert at his Q&A and autograph sessions!
Grab must-have gear… and get to know this year’s lineup
We all love going home with boat show swag and gear that will help us enjoy our time on the water. Be sure to walk the show floor to take a look at fishing gear, equipment, on-board accessories, electronics… and, of course, brand-new boats! For those who love angling as well as leisurely cruising, snorkeling and everything in between, you’ll want to keep your eye on Robalo. The number-one selling fishing boat in America offers a premium line of vessels, each built with your unique style and on-the-water itinerary in mind. We here at South Florida Yachts will be introducing two brand-new Robalo models at this year’s show, so come take a look! We have the Robalo 206 S Cayman, a bay boat built with all the style and agility you need to fish the flats with confidence, and the Robalo 272 Center Console, an all-around vessel whose spacious layout makes it easy to fish, entertain, and enjoy the water your way. After the show, you’re never far from great service and sales, as South Florida Yachts’ Stuart location is right around the corner. We have been in business for 30 years, and as one of the top dealers in Florida, we have the sales, personalized service and experience to help make boat ownership even better. Whatever you may need, we’re here to help.
Get to know the Treasure Coast and beyond
For many people, boat show season offers a way to stay connected with the marine industry when it’s too cold to actually hit the water. But here in Stuart, you can do both! There’s no better time than the crisp, sunny Florida winter to explore local waterways—whether you’re visiting from out of town, or simply want to rediscover your everyday surroundings. They call Stuart the Sailfish Capital of the World, so you’ll definitely want to carve in some time on the water here! Further adventures abound as you head down the coast toward Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, where you’ll enjoy both inshore and offshore delights at every stop along the way.
