Boaters in the BVI, USVI and Puerto Rico are once again preparing for the fourth Annual BVI Exquisite Boat Show.

The show takes place June 29 and 30, hosted at Scrub Island.

“We are really excited to host the fourth Annual BVI Exquisite Boat Show which would not have been possible without the valuable support and partnership of our sponsors and the boating community,” said Meslyn Allan, the event’s manager. “Based on feedback from the boaters and attendees over the last three years, Scrub Island has been the most favored venue for this event and we are pleased to be able to meet the demands of our attendees by once again partnering with Scrub Island Resort and Marina.”

The main event will take place on Saturday and features a boat showcase where boat owners will complete to win cash and prizes based on the best features of their boats, such as paint job, inboard engine, sound system, safety and interior.

“We have a great event in store for everyone, so we are inviting the public to come out and have a great time with us at Scrub Island as we showcase the best of our boating culture,” said Allan.

At this year’s event, boats will be on sale for attendees who are interested in purchasing a vessel.

Entertainment throughout the day will include live performances by Too Smooth Band and DJ Phenom, boat demonstrations, as well as a fashion show.
