Spring Into Summer At The Port Credit Spring Boat Show

2015 Port Credit Boat Show

The Credit Village Marina will be host to the Port Credit Spring Boat Show this May 29 to 31, 2015. Think of this as the official kick-off to your boating season!

The Port Credit Spring Boat Show is right in the heart of the beautiful Port Credit waterfront and isn’t it true that the best place to see a boat is on the water!

The show will feature power and sailboats to 55ft plus. You will find boats on display from tenders to yachts and everything in between. And, there will be both new and pre-owned inventory on display.

You’re sure to find something to fire the imagination! Then, to get to a more practical and enjoyable point, every boater will find a wide assortment of boating related products, accessories and services at the various displays spread throughout the attractive Credit Village Marina facility.

The Port Credit Spring Boat Show is Ontario’s premier spring in-water boat show
But it’s far more than just a boat show. There is live entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday too.

Then, there are also restaurants and nearby shopping to add to the experience.

By car, the marina is located in the heart of Port Credit in Mississauga off Lakeshore Road (between Mississauga Road and Hurontario Street). 12 Stavebank Rd S Port Credit, ON L5G 2T4, Canada.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.
