Miami Boating Blog

If you are looking for the latest in yachts, boats, sailboats, motor yachts, trawlers, sportsfishing boats, etc… you can’t miss the Miami International Boat Show and Strictly Sail Miami.
One of the biggest events at the Strictly Sail Miami Boat Show is the Kids Aboard Boat Building Workshop. The youth at the show build 10 ft sail boats throughout the show and launch them at the show with the sails and Honda Marine outboard motors. One of the boats this year will be one of the world’s only glass bottom sail boats built right at the show and launched by the builders, youth from 6 to 16 years of age. The plexiglass bottom of the glass bottom sailboat is perfect for sailing and exploring the waters of south Florida, the Florida Keys as well as the islands of the Bahamas and the Carribean. The children and teenage builders come from the show with one of the experiences of their lifetime, having built and launched their very own boat right there at Bayside in downtown Miami, Florida, Feb. 14 - 18, 2008.
