Annual boat show docks in Discovery Bay

Attendees will be able to peruse new boats of all types, from fishing boats to yachts and everything in-between.

This year’s vendors include Automatic Fender, Discovery Bay Yacht Sales, Bethel Harbor, Delta Watercraft, Delta Vinyl Designs, ACS Marine, Reef Apparel, Lux and Blvd, D’Anna Yacht Sales, Trash Sack by Hot Buddy Products, Boat US, Pacific Coast Water Rescue, Universal Trailers, Delta Watercraft Boat Lifts and more.

There will also be food and beverages for sale. The Boardwalk Grill will be open and the Discovery Bay Lions will be serving hot food prepared by Lion chef, Roberto, co-owner of Vin Alegro and the Byron Café.

CAT Country radio will also be there live on Friday to kick off the event. All proceeds from the event will go toward Discovery Bay Lions’ local charities.

“We donate to about 50 different local charities, including school, churches, sports programs and leadership programs,” said Hoffman. “We give largely to programs around youths, and my hope is we can make a difference in young people’s lives, making theirs just a little better.”

The Lions are also supporting the blind, visually impaired and veterans.

While this is the fourth annual Northern California Boat Show, event planners are hoping this will be the best yet.

“We loved going to last year’s boat show,” said Discovery Bay resident Stefanie Lincoln. “There were a lot of brand new boats on display and different vendors. We ate and had drinks at the Boardwalk Grill afterwords, and it was such a fun day to spend with family and friends.”

The Northern California Boat Show will be open Friday, June 7, from noon to 8 p.m., Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
