2024 Ride and Decide Open House: A Celebration of Boating Community and Innovation
On October 26, we held our annual Ride & Decide Open House at our Fort Myers location. This exciting one-day event brought together our amazing boating community to preview new models, enjoy sea trials, and have fun with fellow boaters. Here’s a look at the highlights from the day!
Sneak Peek at New Models
We showed off the latest boats from top brands like Grady-White, Robalo, Chaparral, and Premier. Guests got a first look at models such as the Grady-White 386 Canyon, and Chaparral 310 OSX, all making their debut before the official launch at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. The excitement was clear as everyone explored the newest designs and features. We also debuted the Robalo R257 Dual Console and Robalo R300 Center Console!
Feel the Thrill: On-Water Demos at Bonita Bay Marina
Many guests had the chance to get on the water and test our boats during the event. Our team was on site at Bonita Bay Marina to give guided rides on a large selection of boat in the water, allowing attendees to experience the boats handling and performance firsthand. There’s nothing like feeling the boat’s power and smooth ride for yourself!
Good Food and Great Friends
The event was also a chance to relax and enjoy good food with friends. Jack’s Food truck was the perfect food to set the tone of the day. The lively atmosphere was filled with laughter, and it was great to see familiar faces and meet new members of our boating community.
