The Florida Power Boat Club host their annual run down to Key West. OceanLED tagged along to see what all the fuss was about - fast boats, girls and some damn bright underwater lights!

Now in it's 15th year, the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 continues to be on of the most popular events in big game sportfishing. With purses well over one million dollars each year, this event brings together true sportsmen who enjoy the competitive aspect of the sport as well as the camaraderie resulting from it.

We're continually looking to improve the event and enhance our participants' experience. In 2003 we opened up Ocean City, MD as a second port from which to sail and it was met with great enthusiasm. Continuing with our commitment to making Ocean City an integral part of this event, we instituted a full weigh-in at Sunset Marina last year. Boats can sail from OCMD and return there to weigh their entire catch. The weigh-ins are visually linked via computer and broadcast media which keeps everyone informed as things happen. This has added an exciting , new dimension to the Mid-Atlantic.

As always, you can count on the MA500 becoming bigger and better each year, while maintaining the competetive, exciting, friendly and fun atmosphere that has made it such a popular event. We hope you will join us this year to experience one of the best times in big game sport fishing.

Notre stan

The 8th annual Marine Aftermarket Accessories Tradeshow (MAATS) will be held July 16-18 at the Las Vegas Hilton & Convention Center. Again this year, MAATS will be co-located with NMDA’s S.T.E.P. Purchasing Conference as well as ASA’s International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST).
MAATS is much more than a typical tradeshow - it's a highly productive business-building event that offers marine accessory manufacturers and buyers the opportunity to connect one-on-one through a combination of trade show exhibits, private buyer-supplier meetings, new product introductions and awards programs, and great networking opportunities.
MAATS remains the premier event for the marine aftermarket and brings together more than 300 accessory manufacturers and over 90% of the industry’s marine accessory buyers. The MAATS format provides a great venue for doing business, as buyers come prepared to purchase products for the next boating season! Take advantage of the opportunity to meet with multiple aftermarket buyers in one week and save money by not having to make individual sales trips.

ASF has become an annual events for the leaders of the superyacht industry. This year it will be held in the historic and picturesque Newport in Rhode Island.
