200 vessels anchor the Lido Boat Show

Boating enthusiasts from all over Orange County are setting a course for Lido Marina Village this week for the 37th annual Lido Boat Show.

The show, marketed as the biggest fall boat show in the West, features about 200 vessels, from sailboats to massive yachts, that visitors can board and, in some cases, buy.

“The mood seems to be pretty upbeat,” organizer Duncan McIntosh said Friday, the second day of the four-day exhibit.

Guests can inspect motor yachts, sportfishing boats used for recreational angling, family cruisers, sailboats, long-range trawlers and sport yachts from international and national builders. The show also features boating gear and accessories, marine electronics, engines, generators and yacht services.

Lido Marina Village is at Via Lido and Newport Boulevard, one block south of West Coast Highway in Newport Beach. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Admission is $15 for adults and free for children 12 and younger.
