The 2011 Salon du Bateau à Flot de Montreal took place this week-end at the Old Port in Montreal, an event regrouping several dealers from Quebec and allowing water sports adepts to find a great choice of watercrafts all in one place. Presented for the first second this year, the Salon du Bateau à Flot de Montreal, organized by the Association Maritime du Québec(AMQ), stands out for its picturesque site but also for its practical aspect.

Not only can you compare several models of all kinds on site, but you can try them out, which is normally impossible in the course of a traditional nautical show such as the Montreal Boat and Water Sports Show presented in January at Place Bonaventure. Unfortunately, a test on water of a new watercraft is always harder to realize considering all factors involved for dealers.

This year three day event brought a record number of visitors on the dock and the perfect weather has certainly contributed
