Come Prepared
To avoid waiting in line at the box office when you arrive, it is recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time. The Ocala Boat Show provides information on its website and social media channels regarding the dates and times it will be held at the World Equestrian Center, located at Expo Center #2.

Dress Comfortably
If you plan on attending the Ocala Boat Show, it's important to consider your comfort level for the duration of the event. The interior of the World Equestrian Center can be chilly, so it's advisable to bring layers if you tend to get cold easily. You'll be doing a lot of walking, getting in and out of boats, and examining the different features of the vessels, so it's also important to wear clothes that will keep you comfortable for hours. Your choice of footwear is also crucial; opt for a pair that is both easy to slip on and off and very comfortable. Keep in mind that many boat dealers may ask you to remove your shoes before boarding the boat to avoid scuffing the finish.
Take Your Time
When you go to the boat show, take your time to check out all the different boats and their features. If you have any questions, the salespeople are there to help you out and give you all the answers you need. They can tell you what's included, how things work, and explain all the features of the boats from manufacturers like Nautique, Axis, Bennington, Bayliner, Ranger, NauticStar, Hurricane, Godfrey, Triton, and more. These companies are always coming up with new and innovative features that you might not have even considered, so it's definitely worth taking a good look around.
Bring your Credit Card and Checkbook
You might not have considered taking your checkbook to a boat show, but it could be really useful! Boat manufacturers and dealers offer their best deals during these events, with sales and financing incentives that you won't find at any other time of year. Who knows, you might even find your dream boat at an unbeatable price!
