Kayaks, Luxury Yachts, And More: The 2015 Atlantic City Boat Show

By Paul Kurtz

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) --- A warm breeze blows into our area today with the opening of the 2015 Atlantic City Boat Show.

Organizers of this year's boat show say there will be something for everyone, from inexpensive kayaks and inflatable rafts, to million dollar yachts most of us can only dream about.

"It's got a TV in the stateroom, a bluray player. It's got, you know, an entertainment system in the main salon," says Brian Smith, a propulsion specialist with the company Formula.

Jason O'Brian of New Jersey Outboards says pontoon boats may be this year's hottest item.

"It's the best of both worlds," he says. "You can go fast, take the family out, you can do some fishing, or if you just want to throw an anchor out and watch the fireworks. Some of these can hold 15 people."

The Boat Show runs from Wednesday through Sunday.
