Annual Lake Havasu boat Show

The Lake Havasu Boat Show, presented by the Lake Havasu Marine Association, is the largest outdoor boat show in Arizona, Nevada and California. “The 2017 Lake Havasu boat Show will be a challenge for guests to see it all in just one-day,” said Bob Brown, producer. “We’re talking about a boat show that will encompass more than eight football fields of boats, marine engines, trailers and a myriad of boating accessories and services. Virtually every type of boat from 12′ to over 40′ will be on display, some valued as much as one million dollars. Probably our largest category of boats will be the pontoons which have been a leading seller nationwide in recent years. Expect to see all major brands represented.”

If you want to do more than just look at boats, you’ll also have an opportunity to ride in them as well. The Lake Havasu boat Show “Demo Dock” will be open on all days of the boat show, available to take serious potential buyers out for a test drive in a number of different types of boats.

But Lake Havasu Boat Show visitors will have more than just boats and marine accessories to occupy their attention. On Saturday and Sunday, the Annual Gary Hart Memorial jet ski WaterCross races will start at 9am with more than 150 of the top racers and freestylists set to compete. There is ample room for spectators on the Windsor 4 white-sand beach with a twisting race course in full view of the on-lookers.

Saturday is also a special day at the boat show because over 50 teams of the best chili chefs in The Southwest go head-to-head in the Annual Lake Havasu Regional Chili and Salsa Championships sanctioned by the International Chili Society. The general public will be able to purchase chili tasting kits for a nominal $5.00 fee which is donated to the Lake Havasu High School Athletic Booster Club and then vote for their favorite chili maker. Everyone is encouraged to bring their appetite.
