Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

[Pete]

I am seriously considering attending the Lauderdale Boat Show. There is very little info on their web site that helps with the logistics for a first time visitor. My questions are really transportation and display site related.

I have attended the Miami Show several times and they have many remote parking sites with busing to the show sites. Is there such a setup at Lauderdale. If so where would you suggest I plan on trying to park? If not what do you do with a car?

Second, I could use some help on where to start. While I enjoy drooling over beautiful boats, my main interest is in accessories. It appears from the booth info I can see, that the accessories are concentrated at the Bahia Mar.

What do those that know the show suggest I plan as a route through the multiple sites to avoid wasting time on the show day trying to figure out where to go? Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Pete

I am responding to my own post to bump it up to the top of the list in hopes that over the weekend someone familiar with the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show will help me with the requested info. Thanks

Pete, there are some accessory booths on the second floor of the convention center. There are alot of remote parking sites available with people ready to charge you exhorbitant amounts of money. I usually go early and park in the Convention center garage. Then take the bus (located in the back of the convention center) over to Bahia Mar to look at the boats and booths that I want. Usually have lunch there (at the Hatteras display) and then go back over to the convention center to finish the day and go home

There was enough parking. There are shuttles to run you back and forth. Plan on 2 days as there is a lot of stuff and it is spread out. We will be there Sat and Sun.
