For the first time in 64 years, the Cleveland Boat Show & Fishing Expo will reach Ohio’s boaters and anglers in totally new ways. The 2021 show, which takes place January 15-24, will be available virtually, as well as in-person at participating Ohio dealers. During the 10-day event, participating dealers will be holding special boat show hours in their showrooms while presenting special in-store activities and seminars on a variety of boating and fishing subjects. The dealers will also have discounted boat show prices on new boats and equipment.
“We intend to make attending our 2021 boat show a fun experience, too, both online and in every dealership,” says Michelle Burke, president of the Lake Erie Marine Trades Association. “We’ll feature contests and activities for all ages. Boaters and anglers will be able to tour the online portion of the show and decide on the boats and dealers they want to visit during the 10-day show run. Then, they can head to those dealerships and climb aboard everything they want to explore in a safe, controlled setting, or visit the salesperson and dealership right from their phone or computer.”
Plans for the return of the 2022 in-person boat show are already in the works.
