The 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show

At 10am, opening time of the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show on Sunday, traffic was already backed up and finding parking was a challenge. Inside the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show (photos) all major boat manufacturers were in attendance, albeit in slightly smaller stands than last year. The Miami city guide describes the usual show as incredible and popular, but the changes in the show this year were not necessarily for the worst.

Sales people were friendlier and proposed better discounts. Buyers definitely had the upper hand. The smaller boat stands attracted the largest amount of people while the larger boat stands seemed to attract more spectators than actual interested buyers. According to the Miami city guide, people from all over the world wait to make their boat-related purchases during this special weekend. The "Concept" boat manufacturer stand exhibited an impressive 44-foot sports boat.

The service was extra impressive as all the friendly salespeople were more eager and attentive to customers. The outrageous 37-foot Boston Whaler prototype was the most impressive part of the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show. The legendary Boston Whaler brand truly created a breathtaking vessel.

This year was not any different in spite of the grim economic environment. Sales of smaller boats are definitely affected by the combination of the economic crisis and the soaring gasoline prices.

Upcoming Miami Events – February Events in Miami and South Beach

Attention Art Lovers! The biggest art event in Miami will arrive to Coconut Grove this weekend. There is going to be everything at this Miami event. Last year, I really enjoyed a little stand of hand made soaps. I know soap isn’t precisely art, yet I found it peculiar, and the soaps were awesome they smelled great and were pretty. Also at this family-oriented event, the little ones will have lots of things to do. Just beware the parking issue is big. I can suggest you to park on the Coconut Grove Metrorail station’s parking and walk from there to the festival in order to avoid heavy traffic. The other option will be to park along the 27^th street were several buildings offer their fronts for parking. The parking fees can move from $10 to $20.
