GUIDE TO THE 2011 FT. LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
Buyers in the market for a new boat or yacht will have a chance to talk to representatives and dealers on site ready to start negotiations. Test drives, however, are not allowed but can be arranged after the show has concluded.
Other activities at the Boat Show include The Blue Wild Dive Show, IGFA's School of Sportfishing and Hook the Future's Kids Fishing Clinics.
Those who attend will be transported between the show's six locations on a network of water taxis, riverboats and bus shuttles.
