The 2011 St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show is set to take place Dec. 1-4 at the Progress Energy Center for the Arts Mahaffey Theater Yacht Basin and Albert Whitted Park in St. Petersburg, Fla.
More than 250 marine-related companies will be exhibiting at the show, the largest boat show on the Gulf Coast, with many displaying new boats and products, and Beneteau USA hosting a christening reception for its new Oceanis 45.
The show is composed of about 25 percent sailboats and 75 percent powerboats, organizers say.
