The inaugural Panama International Boat Show will open Friday and run through Sunday at the Flamenco Marina in Panama City.
The marina is a flourishing tourist attraction with a wide range of marina amenities, including 238 slips protected by two breakwaters, Wi-Fi and nine onsite restaurants. A new section of the marina has been designated for the show.
In addition to the display of boats in the water and on land, marine accessories and services, attendees will see an impressive car display with a large selection of the latest models from Mercedes-Benz, Dodge and Jeep at the Panama International Boat Show.
On Saturday and Sunday, at 4 p.m., Show Management and designer Marcel Kaminstein will present the IfULoveMe Fashion Show, featuring the latest yachting jewelry and swimwear fashion trends.
Panama Fishing Magazine will host a virtual fishing tournament on all show days. Visitors will be able to virtually “fish” for a chance to win daily prizes.

The show is produced by Active Interest Media-owned Show Management. AIM also owns Soundings Trade Only.
