WELCOME!

Welcome to the Discover Boating® Atlanta Boat Show™ in partnership with Progressive Insurance®!

We are excited to welcome you to the 45th edition of Georgia’s biggest boating event. It’s great to have you with us. As the holiday vibes fade away, this is the place to escape the dreary winter weather, spend a few hours checking out 2025's coolest boats, score some awesome gear, and start dreaming about those sunny summer days on the water.

What will you find at this year’s show? For starters—an incredible lineup of new boats. So, whether you’re looking for your first boat or your next boat, you’ll have plenty of options to shop and compare (plus take advantage of show deals and incentives). Not ready to buy right now? It’s still fun to see what’s new and geek out over the latest innovations and cutting-edge designs.

You’ll also find a great selection of gear—accessories for all your favorite on-water activities and upgrades to enhance your time on the water. Not to mention items you didn’t know existed, or realize you needed.

Finally, this year’s show is jam-packed with attractions, interactive exhibits, and resources to keep your entire crew entertained. Check out live fishing demos and seminars at the Bass Tub, try surfing on the Surf Simulator, head to Fred’s Shed How-To Center for DIY advice, and let the kiddos play in the Kids’ Zone. When you need a break, swing by the Discover Boating Lake Life Lounge to enjoy a drink and music. There really is something for everyone.

We hope you enjoy the show. See you out here!

SHOP CERTIFIED: WHY BUYING AN NMMA CERTIFIED BOAT MATTERS Choosing an NMMA Certified boat is key to ensuring you’re buying a safe, reliable boat that you can enjoy for years to come. Learn about the benefits and importance of choosing certified when you’re buying a new boat.

WHAT IS A CERTIFIED BOAT? Although the U.S. Coast Guard has minimum requirements established for all boats built and sold in the country, these are just bare minimums. NMMA Certification goes beyond those federally regulated requirements to ensure the highest level of boating safety:

•

To become certified, manufacturers must pass third-party, hands-on inspections and meet other specific benchmarks.

•

NMMA Certification is a voluntary program, so when you’re looking at a certified boat, you know that the manufacturer has decided to go above and beyond the legal bare minimums.

WHAT DOES CERTIFICATION COVER? If you can stand on a boat and point to it, the inspectors have probably checked it out!

Virtually every system ranging from electrical to steering to plumbing is assessed. And they all must meet the standards set by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC).

HOW TO FIND AND IDENTIFY A CERTIFIED BOAT How do you know if a boat you’re looking at is certified? Here are a few ways: 1.

Look for the NMMA Certified logo: You’ll find it on the boat’s capacity plate (or yacht plate, in the case of larger boats).

In addition, you’ll often see it displayed on manufacturers’ websites or printed materials.

2. Check This Boat Show Guide: The Boats by Brand page lists all the boat brands available at the show—certified boat brands are identified with the NMMA Certified logo to make it easy for you to know which boats on display have met certification standards.

3. Use Other Discover Boating Resources: After the show, be sure to check out DiscoverBoating.com. All boats listed in our Boat Finder and all manufacturers featured in our Boat Brands and Manufacturers listings are certified.

THE BENEFITS OF OWNING AN NMMA CERTIFIED BOAT There are many benefits to owning an NMMA Certified boat, most importantly, the higher bar set for safety.

NMMA takes boating safety seriously, and you can rest assured knowing that your certified boat meets our standards.

Other certification advantages include:

•

Studies have shown that NMMA Certified boats are seven times less likely to be recalled by the U.S. Coast Guard when compared to uncertified boats.

•

Certification goes beyond boats in some cases, extending to trailers, PWC, and even marine oils. When you use certified products, you can have a higher level of confidence in their safety and quality.

•

Manufacturers that meet NMMA certification standards always have a point person (or people) who know the standards inside and out. These individuals are experts on safety standards and can spot potential problems before they turn into serious issues.

THE BOTTOM LINE?

An NMMA Certified boat is a safer boat, and that means you can feel confident about your decision when buying one!

WE DON'T JUST INSURE YOUR PASSION —

We Share It

I

n a nutshell, my role at Progressive is to acquire customers for our motorcycle, boat, and RV insurance and protection products. My colleagues and I feel that we have

a distinct advantage when designing our products, because as owners ourselves, we understand your unique needs and share your passion for these vehicles.

In my case, this has been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I'd ride on the back of my dad's Suzuki on Saturday mornings as we got out of the house and checked out local garage sales. Over the years, I graduated from a moped to my first grown-up bike: a beautiful blue Suzuki Katana.

After getting married and starting a family, my priorities changed, but I never lost my passion for motorcycles. I inherited a 2000 Harley FXDX after my father hung

up his helmet, and I'm beginning to create those weekend memories with my own children, who don helmets and long pants for a chance to take short, low-speed rides on the back of "dad's motorcycle."

My most recent source of adventure if a Polaris RZR side-by-side that I got last fall.

It's a four-seater, which means my wife and two kids can come along, and we take it trail riding in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I think of it as part market research for my day job and part family getaway. It's a great excuse

for my family to trade in our iPads, video games, and other distractions for lunch on the trails. We already have many years' worth of stories to laugh about around the dinner table. (Yes, Kevin, I'm talking about that "shortcut" you suggested.)

I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention watercraft and RVs, which, of course

Progressive also insures. After selling the Katana, we gave boating a try with a Sea

Ray cabin cruiser and a pair of WaveRunners. In fact, I can honestly say that I either own or have owned every major type of vehicle we insure at Progressive, with the exception of an RV, though we often go camping with my in-laws in their Forest River Mini Lite.

Needless to say, I insure all of my vehicles with Progressive. The reason is obvious;

I know Progressive is just as passionate about these vehicles as I am, so I know our polices are exactly what people like us need.

Being properly insured is important, not only for the vehicle, but to protect against liability and the unknown. I want to protect my family and our financial stability, as well as cover potential medical costs and vehicle repairs. My whole family enjoys

getting away from the day-to-day with these toys, and knowing we're insured when we go out gives us all the peace of mind we need to make those memories even more special.
