Safety is always in season! ⚓️

At the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade, we pride ourselves on being the "Best Show on H2O," but that title only works if we're also the "Safest Show on H2O." 🧡

With National Safe Boating Week kicking off tomorrow, we're reminding our amazing South Florida community to stay smart on the water. Whether you're preparing your vessel for the big parade on December 12th or just heading out for a weekend cruise, remember that a stylish life jacket is your best accessory! 🚤

We are so grateful for our local boaters who keep our traditions alive and our waterways safe. Let's make this season unforgettable for all the right reasons!

See you on the water!

We're still beaming with pride after a morning full of creativity and community in Boca Raton! 🧩⛵️

Winterfest had an absolute blast participating in the Fuller Center LEGO boat event today. We are so incredibly honored to announce that our team took home the award for "Most Creative" for our LEGO boat design! 🏆✨

A huge, heartfelt thank you to our friends at the Fuller Center for putting together such a magical morning. It's always a joy to support local organizations that do so much for our community. Seeing everyone come together to build, design, and celebrate was the perfect way to kick off our day.

The creativity doesn't stop here, though! We are hard at work getting ready for the "Best Show on H2O." Make sure you mark your calendars for December 12th: you won't want to miss the magic on the water!

We are so grateful for the opportunity to participate and can't wait for more moments like these. Here's to a season of imagination and community impact! 🥂🌊

Ready to see the next generation of maritime talent in action? 🔨🛶

We are giving a huge shoutout to our friends at the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) for the 29th Annual Plywood Regatta! Join us this weekend, April 25-26, at Snyder Park to support the future of our marine workforce.

This event is a true testament to community spirit and craftsmanship. On Saturday, watch as local students transform simple sheets of plywood into seaworthy vessels. Then, come back on Sunday for the high-energy races to see that hard work in motion! It is incredibly rewarding to see these students develop the hands-on skills and teamwork that drive our South Florida industry forward.

We are so grateful to have Miasf as a partner and celebrate the creativity of these young builders. Come out to Snyder Park, enjoy the sunshine, and cheer on your favorite team!
