Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Bayliner Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. The boating world is once again buzzing about Sea Ray's AquaPalooza, the annual multi-location marine extravaganza that will celebrate three years of unmatched on-water excitement this summer.
"We're creating quite a stir in the industry with AquaPalooza.
It's really incredible that so many people show up in so many places at the same time," said Rick Stone, president of Sea Ray. "The event is Sea Ray inspired, but really it's all-inclusive, and everyone is welcome. It's a testament to the boating lifestyle. And no other boat company can replicate AquaPalooza because we already invite everyone. It will always be wide open, but always associated with Sea Ray."
Sea Ray and its dealers will officially kick off AquaPalooza stateside from July 18 to 20 at the Signature Event in Lake of the Ozarks, Mo. Hosted by MarineMax of Lake Ozark, Osage Beach and Laurie, this massive heartland jam will feature food, drinks, music, games, giveaways and much, much more. Guitar rockers Third Eye Blind and '80s radio legend Eddie Money will shake things up Saturday, July 19, as they perform live from Coconuts Caribbean Beach Bar & Grill and The Horny Toad in Lake Ozark.
Other special events include dancing under the stars, an on-the-water photo scavenger hunt and a fireworks finale to rival a Fourth of July celebration.
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. Last year, AquaPalooza attracted more than 10,000 boats and 30,000 guests to 120 events worldwide - a 42 percent increase from the inaugural event in 2006.
For those who cannot make it to Lake of the Ozarks, Sea Ray dealerships around the world will transform 150 additional locations into official AquaPalooza party sites, making it easy for boaters to get in on the action. "Our dealers do an outstanding job of coordinating the AquaPalooza events in their areas," said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing for Sea Ray. You can visit the AquaPalooza Web site at www.aquapalooza.com or call 800-SRBOATS to see what fun events may be in your own backyard.
AquaPalooza event - last two weekends in July
Most of this year's festivities will take place during the last two weekends in July, but other events are planned both before and after these dates. In fact, the first AquaPalooza event of the year recently took place in Cancun, Mexico. It drew 23 boats and 140 participants for a day-cruise to Isla Mujeres, where there was great music, food and beverages.
Noyes credits Sea Ray's boating partners for the unparalleled success of the annual festival. "Our sponsors and dealers are key components in making the AquaPalooza weekends the memorable events we want them to be," he said. This year's supporting companies include Mercury MerCruiser�, GMC�, Sony�, Raymarine�, Sebago�, NBOA� Marine Insurance, EZ Dock�, Land Resource Companies, and Boating magazine.
AquaPalooza is about boating
Ggreat tunes, fun and togetherness with family and friends, added Noyes. "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."
