Lured by all things nautical, hundreds headed to Riverside Park this weekend to attend the 33rd annual Vero Beach Spring Boat Show.
A big draw for residents is that the community event is put on and exhibited by boat dealers and suppliers from the tri-county area, covering southern Brevard to St. Lucie.
The show featured a wide variety of watercraft, including people-powered kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, pontoon boats and shallow-water skiffs, off-shore fishing craft and cruisers, plus all manner of related nautical necessities.
There were also fishing seminars by local authorities and, for those ready to sign on the dotted line, even bankers to help finance the deal.
