More than 25,000 expected at St. Pete boat show

The largest boat show on the Gulf Coast returns to St. Petersburg’s downtown waterfront next week with a bevy of free seminars, hundreds of vendors and a few surprises.

Now in its 48th year, the annual St. Petersburg Power and Sailboat Show will take over the area between Al Lang Stadium and Albert Whitted Park from Thursday, Jan. 15, through Sunday, Jan. 18. Event organizer Informa U.S. Boat Shows expects over 25,000 attendees - a number that could increase significantly with ideal weather.
