A Preview of Next Weekend’s Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show

The Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show is on next weekend, May 16–19, at Westpoint Harbor, Redwood City. This year’s four-day event is offering an “expanded footprint” with more in-water and on-land displays of new yachts, sailboats, powerboats, catamarans, electric boats, gear, accessories, and more.

“We are thrilled to be returning to Westpoint Harbor, for the second year with even more to offer newbies and boating enthusiasts alike,” said California Yacht Brokers Association President Mark White. “From all-electric boats for on-the-water fun to luxury sailing yachts, this year’s show is back with more boats and more fun for the entire family.” This year’s show includes “fun for the little ones,” entertainment, and more food options, including the newly opened Hurrica Restaurant.
