  • Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) July 26, 2011 - Nowhere else on the entire West Coast will you see a collection this large of the latest big yachts, presented in the water. You'll find many new-for-2012 models, along with ocean-tested brokerage powerboats and sailboats that come already equipped with long lists of luxury amenities. It's no wonder that this annual exhibition -- California's premier Fall Yacht Show -- attracts boaters from throughout the nation.

    You won't find PWCs or boats on trailers here. The Lido Yacht Expo presents only the best-of-the-best in the boating world -- including breathtaking luxury motoryachts up to 100 feet in length and a wide selection of 35- to 65-foot pleasurecraft, with sportfishers, long-range trawler yachts, sport yachts, family cruisers and motoryachts offering many dazzling options for show-goers to consider.

    At the Lido Yacht Expo, attendees will get a rare opportunity to step aboard, inspect and compare more than 200 of the West's largest and most luxurious yachts. Show-goers can explore more than 400,000 square feet of floating dock exhibits and boardwalk displays, and they will find an incredible selection of boating accessories and services along with the big boats and yachts. The show's expanded layout and its picturesque waterfront setting -- at Newport Harbor's Lido Marina Village -- quickly puts show-goers in the mood to get out on the water.

    No matter whether you're looking for the latest yacht, advanced marine electronics and gear to outfit your present boat, or essential yacht services such as marine financing and insurance, you'll find what you seek at the Lido Yacht Expo. For more than three decades, the Lido Yacht Expo has become well known as the West Coast's total one-stop shopping experience for boating enthusiasts and potential buyers. This four-day event comes just once a year -- and it is a "must see" for anyone considering the purchase of a large yacht.

    Not only will you see the West's finest big boats and yachts at this year's Lido Yacht Expo, you'll find them at special boat show prices. There are many great deals and incentives to be had -- and low financing rates and marina slips are readily available -- making this one of the best times in history to buy.

Show hours are: noon to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25.
