Seattle’s 37th annual Lake Union Boats Afloat Show features ski boats to super yachts and everything in between.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 11, 2015 -- The Lake Union Boats Afloat Show sails into town on Wednesday Sept. 16th and the docks will be packed with more than 225 boats from approximately 125 exhibitors – more boats than any time since 2008.This year the boats on display are built from as close to Seattle as Bremerton and as far away as Italy and Australia. From the debut of a line of a sexy Italian RIB boats, to hull #1 of a locally-designed pontoon boat to many Pacific Northwest sailboat debuts, the Lake Union Boats Afloat show promises once again it is a not-to-be-missed event that should be on every boater and would-be boater’s calendar.

The show’s not just for adults or for mom and dad to shop for the boat of their dreams. It is also full of free activities for kids of all ages. Kids 8-16 can get on the water and be introduced to the thrill of small boat sailing with 60-minute free sailboat lessons. All ages can enjoy the Center for Wooden Boats hands-on toy boat building and the Coleman Company will be giving away 500 Sterns kids lifejackets on Saturday and Sunday of the show.

The show drops anchor on Wednesday Sept. 16th and sails on through Sunday 20th, 2015.

Selected Attractions and Promotions:
Most expensive boat in the show: At $6.8 million, the 2016 85 foot Ocean Alexander Motoryacht combines the latest in technology with the finest luxury appointments. Yachting Magazine said, “If the yacht were a person, she would be Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief or Faye Dunaway in The Thomas Crown Affair. Cool. Slightly distant. Ever so desirable.”

Free daily 45-minute sailboat rides for all ages on Lake Union on 30-40 foot boats through Discover Sailing.
