The Boat Parades set the harbors ablaze during the holiday season !

Beautiful multi-million dollar yachts, kayaks, canoes and other small boats light up the harbor as a dazzling array of holiday lights and music fill the air. Many of the boats will be richly decorated with animated holiday scenes accompanied by music and costumed carolers. Some boat owners in the past have spent over $50,000 to decorate their vessels for the event. The floats will wind their way around the harbors to give viewers in restaurants, yacht clubs, on public beaches, and in private homes an incredible sight that has delighted millions of people for years.

These Boat Parade, which have been hailed as "some of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation" by the New York Times, are truly a magical holiday tradition for all ages. The parades continue to be a premier event during the holiday season and bring joy and happiness to all that view it.
