We definitely saw a continuation of several trends such as dual consoles and catamarans. All builders, whether creating small 18-footers or giant, quad- and quint-powered luxury fish boats, also have kept an eye on family comforts while remembering the hardcore anglers. We rarely see a center console these days without forward seating, even loungers, and a fold-out transom bench.

We noticed too that many boats in the 30-foot-and-up range displayed a trend toward minimalism at the helm. Glass-bridge displays, once only characteristic on big sport-fishers, are now common as electronics network with all onboard systems, eliminating the need for multiple switches and controls.

All of this makes for great boat shopping whether in-person or online. Enjoy!

The post 20 Great Fishing Boats at the 2019 Miami International Boat Show appeared first on Sport Fishing Mag.

Costa Sunglasses has partnered with the Progressive Insurance Miami International Boat Show, presented by West Marine, to promote conservation and educate anglers and boaters about marine-resource protection in a Costa Conservation Village at the show site. The Miami boat show runs Feb. 14-18 at the Miami Marine Stadium.

The village will feature exhibits by more than a dozen conservation leaders including The Billfish Foundation, Captains for Clean Water, and Bonefish Tarpon Trust as well as state and federal government entities. South Florida marine artist and angler Coastal Kristen will make daily appearances.

As a part of the effort to reduce plastic use and to raise awareness, the boat show will join Costa’s Kick Plastic initiative, placing filtered-water stations at key points around the show. Costa will offer reusable water containers for sale — 24-ounce aluminum water bottles for $10 — to help reduce the amount of plastic used at the show. Attendees who purchase a Kick Plastic bottle will receive a free gift from Costa at the Conservation Village.

“The Miami Boat Show’s commitment to conservation with the Costa Conservation Village and their efforts, as an industry leader, to Kick Plastic are a big step in helping raise awareness for the issues facing our watery world,” says Andrew Cox, offshore community leader for Costa. “Costa believes it’s our responsibility to protect and preserve our oceans and waterways, a pillar that ties directly to our brand mission, and we’re proud to have industry partners like the Miami Boat Show helping in those efforts.”

Additional conservation initiatives at the show include:

• The boat show has eliminated plastic straws.
• Concessions are introducing a new line of disposables for ‘grab and go’ items that are recyclable and compostable.
• There will be zero Styrofoam on the premises (for the third year in a row).
• Renewable and plant-based coffee cups, sleeves, and recyclable lids will be used throughout the show.
• The boat show is removing the use of hard plastic utensils from the docks and VIP Lounge, replaced with Green Ware Products utensils.
• The boat show is eliminating the printing of official show press materials and transitioning exclusively to digital.

The post Miami Boat Show Sneak Preview appeared first on Sport Fishing Mag.

Raymarine, Mercury Marine and Boston Whaler today demonstrated for media in Florida an assisted-docking system that was first announced by Raymarine earlier this month at an international boat show in Germany. The new DockSense system will also be on display Feb. 14-18 at the Miami International Boat Show.

DockSense uses a Virtual Bumper zone around the vessel to assist boat owners in tight-quarter docking. Camera sensors continuously monitor the vessel’s surroundings, keeping the system updated with real-time detection of objects like pilings or vessels. DockSense includes multiple FLIR machine vision cameras, a central processing module and an app running on Raymarine’s Axiom navigation display.

DockSense provides feedback to the Mercury Autonomous system to allow the boat’s joystick piloting setup to autonomously respond and ensure a smooth docking process. Integrating DockSense “is a natural next step for Mercury,” the outboard company said in a statement released today. More than a decade ago, Mercury introduced Zeus and Axius joystick-steering systems, and in 2013, Mercury debuted Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO). All three were developed as precursors to autonomous vessel control.

At the demonstration, which took place at a Mercury Marine testing facility in central Florida, DockSense was featured aboard a 33-foot Boston Whaler Outrage center console, rigged with twin Mercury Verado engines with JPO and with Mercury’s advanced piloting-assist system. This new system is a core technology based on the latest aerospace control systems and autonomous-car Artificial Intelligence, the company says.

While not in the market yet, Mercury’s autonomous system will support a variety of future uses for assisted and semi-autonomous functionality, as it can be integrated with sensors like cameras and lidar, a detection system that works on the principle of radar but uses light from a laser. The Florida demonstrations will be used to capture market feedback toward adoption and commercialization of these technologies.

Mercury Marine and Boston Whaler are brands owned by the Brunswick Corporation. Raymarine and FLIR are owned by FLIR Systems.
