The 5th Annual North Georgia Boat and RV Show and Sale is an excellent opportunity to check out the newest models of watercraft and recreational vehicles. Taking place at Gainesville Marina on Dawsonville Highway the weekend of March 7-9, the three-day event will feature in-the-water and on-land boats, plus a chance to see both new and pre-owned recreational vehicles and boats.
“Our annual North Georgia Boat and RV Show is always popular, and we’ll once again have a fun event to get people ready for spring and summer,” said Philip Burton, managing partner of Gainesville Marina. “It’s a chance for people who boat or camp in North Georgia to see the latest in recreation all in one place before the season begins.”
Once again, multiple boat dealers will participate, offering pontoons, tritoons, center consoles, ski boats, deck boats and other water craft, both new models and pre-owned. Recreational vehicles offered by Camping World include RVs, campers, pop-ups and pull-behinds, plus information about popular camping destinations.
Vendors from dock builders to watercraft accessories will be on hand. Food will also be available.
America’s Boating Club Atlanta, the Chattahoochee River Keeper and the Lake Lanier Association will have booths. The lake real estate community will be represented as well.
During the event, marina staff will be on hand to talk with prospective boat owners about storage options.
A full-service marina, Gainesville Marina and Boat Sales has more than 600 dry and wet storage slips, with 30,000 square feet of covered boat storage. Dry storage for boats up to 24 feet is fully enclosed. In-water slips can accommodate boats up to 80 feet long.
Docks have water and electricity hook-ups. Amenities also include heated and cooled bath houses and free parking. The full-service gas dock offers fuel, oil, three pump-out stations and pay at the pump for fuel until dusk. Boat and motor repair is offered on site.
“Other benefits of Gainesville Marina bring people here all year,” Burton said. “Freedom Boat Club is headquartered here, and people around the lake and here at the marina keep our signature restaurant, Skogie’s, busy all season.
“We’re right on track for a great show again this year,” Burton said. “We hope that everyone will plan to come out and see us as we all look forward to the 2025 boating and recreation season.
The boat show is in its fifth year. For more information, visit gainesvillemarina.com or call the marina at 770 536-2171.
