SEALEGS ON SHOW ON BOTH COASTS OF THE USA

24 January 2011

Sealegs, the world’s leading manufacturer of amphibious marine craft, continues to drive its expansion of the North American market by attending shows on both coasts of the USA simultaneously.

On the West Coast Sealegs is on show for the second time at Seattle Boat Show (Jan 21st – 31^st) and on the East Coast Sealegs is debuting on the red carpet at the Cavallino Classic Yacht Hop at the Rybovich Superyacht Marina in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Seattle show is expected to be visited by in excess of 60,000 people and the exclusive Cavallino Classic is targeted at Ferrari and megayacht owners. Sealegs North American Vice President, Jon Hoflich said “the large crowds around the stands at both shows clearly demonstrate the popularity of Sealegs. The discerning attendees at the Florida show immediately recognize the freedom Sealegs represents and the benefits Sealegs can offer to their existing waterfront lifestyles”.

The recent Australian floods news coverage demonstrated Sealegs’ swift water rescue capabilities in practical use and the much anticipated release of All-Wheel Drive has continued to build on the credibility established by the Popular Science Grand award in December last year. 

“Winning the Grand Recreational Innovation award by Popular Science coupled with the recent news showing Sealegs’ flood rescue capabilities proves that whether you’re launching from your waterfront property or carrying out a flood rescue mission, Sealegs amphibious marine craft meet the demands of our users with reliability, safety, and ease” Jon commented.    

With these latest accolades, Sealegs is looking forward to a successful season of boat shows including the Naples Boat Show, New England Boat Show, Miami Boat Show, and West Palm Beach Boat Show between January and March, 2011.
