Sea Ray to kick start Aquapalooza - Worlds Largest On-Boating Event

Its that time of the year again!!! The US of A is all set to showcase its yachting lifestyle the fullest with Sea Ray unveiling the AquaPalooza event.

The dates have been fixed for the event and the grand extravagant activities will commence from the 18th july 2008 uptil the 20th starting from the signature event on Lake of The Ozarks, Missouri which will feature food, drinks, music, games, giveaways and much, much more.



For those who are unaware about this event, AquaPalooza is the world’s largest on-boating bash. It started in 2006 as a Sea Ray Owners Club™ event but quickly evolved to incorporate boat-crazy party people of all stripes. Last year, the multi-location marine festival attracted more than 10,000 boats and 30,000 guests to 120 events worldwide.



AquaPalooza is a multi-location marine extravaganza organized by Sea Ray and its partners such as MarineMax/Port Arrowhead. At hundreds of locations across the country, boaters and yachters gather to celebrate the boating lifestyle and enjoy a day on the water.

Companies like Raymarine, Mercury, Sebago, boating magazine, NBOA, ez-dock, GMC, Land resource, Zeus, and even sony are sponsors for this events

In addition to food, games, special events and fireworks, AquaPalooza features free on-water concerts by Everclear, Soul Asylum, Cracker, and other regional bands.

The World's Largest Boating Party expects to draw a record 50,000 guests this year to 150 events on lakes, rivers, bays and harbors from New York to California, Egypt to Australia.

"AquaPalooza is about boating, great tunes, fun and togetherness with family and friends," said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing for Sea Ray. "Whether folks are new to boating or seasoned veterans, this event is for all people who love life on the water. No one throws a party like Sea Ray."

The amazing, one-of-its-kind event recently won a Mercury Award from Mercomm, Inc. for excellence in public relations and marketing communications.

The fact that such a grand event and is not restricted to Sea Ray owners and is made open to all boat owners and enthusiasts worldwide is the biggest selling point which makes the event difficult to ape by any other brand or manufacturer. I guess the community building aspect with entertainment is the USP of the event which makes it so popular worldwide.
