Tens of thousands of boating and fishing enthusiasts start their season at the 105th New York National Boat Show held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center from January 20 - January 24, 2010.

 

From yachts and cruisers to bass and pontoon boats, from canoes and kayaks to fishing boats and personal watercraft, from electronics and engines to fishing gear, from financing and insurance to travel destinations, you'll see it in the show.

Features to include:

Share fishing stories with fellow anglers and professional fisherman judges  and if the judges think you have the best story, you’ll walk away with a Lowrance HDS-7 Fishfinder/Chartplotter. The first place winner will also receive a $500 Gift Certificate from Global Fish Mounts towards a fish mount. Fisherman Magazine will interview and photograph the winner and publish a story about the winner's fishing experience. Second place will receive a Icom M72 VHF Handheld VHF and third place will receive a $100 West Marine Gift Card compliments of the great folks at West Marine. This contest will take place Thursday, January 21st from 6:30–7:30pm.

When it comes to enjoyable ways to spend your leisure time, boating is far more affordable than you may realize. Whether you want to cruise, fish, waterski, wakeboard or just spend time on the water with family and friends, visit the Affordability Pavilion. 

The Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy's (UDEC) mobile museum -- The Enviromedia Mobile -- is making its first appearance at the show to educate about all things aquatic.  Designed to make you feel like you're on a boat, the space features a wooden planked floor and resemble a pirate's ship's hull. Inside is aquatic art, nautical artifacts, educational displays and interactive exhibits that teaches about the wildlife of our oceans and estuaries. Parents and Children can participate in a hands-on scavenger hunt and more.
