With a view to 2025, the Marine Trade Association of Metro Atlanta, is expanding its spring Lake Lanier Boat Show to include recreational vehicles. The show is slated for the weekend of April 25-27 and again will be staged at Margaritaville at Lake Lanier.

“The spring show at Margaritaville has given our members the opportunity to preview their 2025 models, showcase brokerage boats and offer exceptional prices on select 2024 inventory,” said Heidi Moore, president to the organization. “By adding recreational vehicles and associated vendors to our line-up, we will reach more people interested in outdoor recreation, which is one of the fastest-growing segments of the population.”

The organization includes marinas, boat dealers, boat brands, dock builders, boat storage facilities, marine services restaurants, retail financing, insurance and rental businesses.

“Our members are committed to helping current and future boat owners with their boating experiences from the first time they think about purchasing a boat through their everyday enjoyment of being on the water,” Moore said. “As we expand to include the RV segment in our spring show, we also support related industries to promote family enjoyment of recreation.”

Throughout the year the group works closely with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Corps of Engineers to provide better and safer boating in Georgia waters.

The organization elected new officers at its recent meeting. They are: President Heidi Moore with Skier’s Marine; Vice President Tabor Reins with Advantage Boat Center; Secretary Nathan Rhodes with Boating Atlanta; and Treasurer Paige Mason with WaterSports Central.
