On January 9th, the Reliant Center doors will swing open once again to admit the public to one of the largest boat, sport and travel shows in the country. The January show features an enormous display of sailboats, luxury yachts and powerboats - over 5 football fields of the latest in nautical innovation. The 10-day show also offers exhibits for the landlubber such as campers, RV accessories and services, travel trailers, and camping equipment. Drawing over 150,000 attendees from the surrounding region, the show offers the best selection to view, plan, and buy everything for boating and camping. While you're there, explore a variety of products and services, from information on the best outfitters and fishing guides, to fine art, to the latest boating and camping gadgets and gizmos.

Newcomers to the world of boating will find a wealth of valuable information at The Discover Boating Center. For those who have always envisioned themselves on the water but don't know how to get started, the Discover Boating Center is the perfect place to get unbiased answers. Show-goers are free to gaze at the boats and peruse the available information without the pressure of a salesperson.
