Sponsored by the Automobile Club of Southern California, the official water craft insurance provider*, the annual event is one of the largest and most prestigious boat shows in the western United States, having drawn nearly 4 million attendees from across the nation over the last 53 years, to view the most spectacular array of boats and marine accessories available under one roof.
“This year’s show will display millions of dollars worth of new water craft and products. Everything from affordable family-oriented boats, to the most luxurious motor yachts and finely crafted sailing vessels,” said Dave Geoffroy, Executive Director of the Southern California Marine Association (SCMA), the show’s organizers. “The new four-day format also promises to be jam-packed with fun and activities for the whole family―all at a new low price.”

Highlights of the Los Angeles Boat Show will include:
A rare opportunity to view the new Icon A5―an award-winning amphibious sport aircraft on display in the Los Angeles Convention Center Lobby. HYPERLINK "http://www.iconaircraft.com" www.iconaircraft.com.

Members of the championship 2009 U.S. World Water Ski Racing Team will also be present at the booth for a meet and greet with fans. Dates and times to be announced.

The Kona Concept Catamaran Deck Kit―a zero emission solar electric boat that has the speed, range and sea-worthy attributes that allow cruising between harbors in the open ocean, as well as protected waters.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists working to save lives and empower people affected by breast cancer, has been selected by SCMA as the official charity to receive an honorarium from the show’s proceeds. A Komen booth will be onsite to accept charitable donations from the public, offer merchandise for sale, and sign up attendees for the upcoming Race for the Cure on March 14, 2010, at Dodger Stadium. The booth will also display an Advantage X-Flight speed boat, custom painted with a stylized, horizontal turquoise and pink ribbon logo that commemorates the boat owner’s own victory over breast cancer.
