2nd Annual San Diego Sunroad Boat Show Scheduled for January 27 - 30, 2011

SAN DIEGO, CA - Background - The San Diego Boat Show is back by popular demand but it has a new name, look and location. Now it is officially the San Diego Sunroad Boat Show. Hosted by the Sunroad Resort Marina, the inaugural new show was held January 28-31, 2010, and it was a smashing success.

San Diego came close to loosing this 20 year annual tradition, but thanks to Jim Behun and the Sunroad Marina, the San Diego tradition is once again a reality.

In spring of 2009, the National Marine Manufactures Association decided to shutter the annual show. To help the boating and business community, Sunroad Marina stepped in and has worked tirelessly to build a brand new show.

With the demise of the previous convention center boat show, The Port of San Diego is supporting the new San Diego Sunroad Boat Show as the presenting sponsor. The Port realized the critical need to keep the show in San Diego to further the support for the Port tenants, marinas and the overall boating community. A San Diego institution, this will be the 21st year of the show. Annually, it draws attendees from LA, Orange County, Nevada, Arizona, Baja and of course San Diego.

The new Sunroad Boat Show features on land and in water locations, focusing on the latest boats and marine equipment. Its new location puts the show on the east end of beautiful Harbor Island in San Diego Bay with free shuttle transports. One of the most exciting elements of the NEW Sunroad Marina show is the utilization of more marina space, giving more dealers slips to showcase their boats and attendees even more boats to enjoy.

The in-water marina portion of the previous Boat Show was always the most popular aspect of the annual event and it was limited in its ability to grow. Annually, there was a huge demand for dealers that wanted space and could not get it. Because of the Sunroad Marina's vast slip space of 610, the 2011 show will really have an expansive offering. In addition, the San Diego Sunroad Boat Show will also host a wide selection of boats from 8-feet to 125-feet, sail and power newand used models, new exhibitors, and new ways to enjoy the water for every budget.

The San Diego Sunroad Boat Show in the Sunroad Marina is located downtown at 955 Harbor Island in north San Diego Bay, across the street from the San Diego International Airport and.
