Discover Boating is presenting the contest and BoatRenting.com and Forever Resorts are sponsoring it.
“DiscoverBoating.com is becoming more and more of an interactive space, not only for the potential boat buyer, but for the boater looking to learn more about what he or she can experience on the water,” said Carl Blackwell, Grow Boating and the National Marine Manufacturers Association vice president of marketing and communications. “We’re excited to launch the boat name contest because it’s a way we can engage visitors to DiscoverBoating.com.”
Contest entries are being accepted from April 23 through May 23. Boaters can enter at DiscoverBoating.com and add their most original and creative boat name to the list. From May 24 through June 15, DiscoverBoating.com visitors can view the names posted and vote for their favorites.
The grand prize winner, whose boat name is selected as the “most original,” will receive a three-day, three-night weekend getaway on a houseboat for up to six guests, which BoatRenting.com and Forever Resorts is providing. The houseboat vacation includes airfare, fuel costs and an operator for the boat, and the winner may select from more than ten Forever Resorts locations nationwide.
