Shoes! Oh my gosh.. shoes are so important! If you have comfortable flip flops that you can walk around in all day, please wear them! Every boat you get on, you have to take your shoes off. Kicking flip flops off and slipping them on is pretty easy. Not so much with tennis shoes. First, the boats are probably wet, especially in the mornings, so you get your socks wet (unless you take them off too but that’s even more work!). Second, there is no where to sit down to put them back on AND you are on floating docks so you are swaying the entire time you are trying to stand up and put your shoes (and socks) back on. So, I wore flip flops and my husband wore tennis shoes the first day. I would jump out of the boat, slip my shoes on, then look back and he was still slowly putting on his shoes.. then tying them.. while I was waiting on him. I convinced him to wear flip flops the second day and we moved much faster in and out of the boats. 🙂 here

So If I was the one reading this blog I’d be pulling my hair out wanting to know that answer to the one big question I still have – WHAT THE HECK DO I WEAR TO A BOAT SHOW? The answer is so anticlimactic. Just wear regular clothes. Yeah, what you would wear to Wal-Mart. Or to the Mall. Or to McDonalds. Or to the Ball Park. Or to the Gym. It’s nothing special. There isn’t a dress code. And everyone there is dressed just like regular folk. I felt a little foolish for worrying so much about what to wear. I had spent hours picking out the perfect outfits for the boat show – and then I didn’t even wear them, thanks to the weather. [links]

On a side note about picking up all that “stuff” from the boat show. We picked up probably about 20 pounds worth of literature over the two days. Which I suppose isn’t a big deal. Until you have to put it in your luggage to fly back home. If your suitcase was already close to the 50 pound mark… you are going to be carrying that 20 pounds of literature through the airport as your carry on! So, pack wisely and leave space in your suitcase to bring all that good reading material home. here

Which brings me to the next thing you need to not wear. A big purse. I brought my large handbag, you know the one that is cavernous and fits your entire life inside? Well, I thought I would need to put lots of brochures and “stuff” in my bag so I brought the big one. Nope. Don’t do it. All day long you are in and out of sailboats and that thing gets in the way! I did wise up and only bring my wristlet the next day, you know the wallet that loops around your wrist? Yep. That is ALL you need. Well… all you need as long as your husband is wise enough to already know this and is carrying his backpack. You put the “stuff” you pick up along the way in the backpack, you drop the backpack outside on the dock before you get in the boat, then you are free to move around unhindered by big purses while you are trying to imagine living on the boat. After all, when you are in the bathroom, you don’t have your purse with you… do you? Then you don’t need your purse with you when you are trying to decide if you fit in the shower! more

Another thing while we are on shoes. Do NOT wear boots! Or heels! Oh my goodness. I saw many women wearing heels. What? You are on a floating wooden dock, walking miles each day – in heels? One slip of the heel inside the crack of the dock and you’d be a goner. How embarrassing, plus you’d ruin your heels. And boots? How are you going to take boots off and on all day? A couple of women I saw had just given up and were stuffing their boots in their backpacks and going barefoot. Save yourself the trouble and wear flip flops. here

Once you know what you want to see at the show, find a show map online and plot an efficient course. This will be your guide once you’re at the show, but don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good: some boats will have lines, so be ready to change up the order as conditions dictate.

You don’t necessarily have to make a purchase at the show to lock in the special boat show pricing. If you’re a serious buyer, most sellers will be willing to give you the boat show price for a purchase made shortly after the show. Don’t be afraid to ask, but also don’t expect it.

You’re going to be taking your shoes on and off all day! You’ll probably want to wear socks, too. Most exhibitors at a boat show will ask you to take your shoes off before you take a look around a boat. They do this so you don’t scratch the boat, which will probably end up being sold; the floor models aren’t just for demos. You’ll probably even encounter some boats that have already been sold when you’re checking them out, so you need to be extra careful with those – the new owner will appreciate it.

Boat show season is upon us! Before you head out, you should prepare. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of a boat show:

Boat shows are big and crowded. To make sure you see everything you want to see in the time you have, you should plan it out ahead of time. here

First you need to figure out what kind of boats you’re going to be looking at. It’s great fun to look at the biggest and most expensive boats at the show, but you’ll also want to figure out which ones fit your needs and budget – odds are there isn’t much overlap between those two groups. Start by following the steps in our article on getting ready to buy a boat (most of the steps are equally applicable to new and used boats). [links]

Each year I tell myself to do it different and dress like a boater. But then I see my colleagues and counterparts decked out in smartly pressed khakis, oxford shirts and tasseled loafers, and I cave. [links]

But no such luck. You see, I’m working during the show, a member of the press researching the newest boats and gear and interviewing manufacturing executives. So I have to dress the part. Instead of shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops as worn by most of the sensible show-goers, it’s a long pants and a button-down shirt. In 90-degree heat and 90 percent humidity. All day. Yuck.

Stay comfortable at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

If only I could dress like a boater for the boat show, especially for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (now underway through Nov. 3, 2014). I’d love to dress like everyone else – comfortably, that is – in the heat and humidity while roaming the docks, climbing aboard boats, exploring engine compartments and canvassing the acres of outdoor marine-accessory exhibits. Even the tented pavilions get pretty darned tepid.

But not this year. No, this year it’s lightweight shorts and a Columbia PFG shirt. I’ll concede the flip-flops in favor of Sperry athletic-style deck shoes. I’m going to be comfortable – I’m dressing like a boater. And so should you. here

Keep your daytime makeup as minimal as possible. Fill in your eyebrows for a naturally gorgeous look, add some tint to your cheeks, highlighter to your cheekbones, and a dab of coral lipstick for your lips. This is a natural, fresh-faced look to keep you feeling beautiful the whole day through!
