I'll Be at Bay Harbor This Father's Day Weekend. Here's What to Know.
Paul Denton Jr. of Luke Brown Yachts is at the Bay Harbor Boat Show June 19-21. See the 2019 Tiara 38 LS and 2018 Pursuit 355 OS in person. Fresh water, low hours, honest conversatio
The Bay Harbor Boat Show is happening June 19 through 21 at Bay Harbor Lake Marina in Michigan. Father's Day weekend. If you're in the area and you've been thinking about making a move on the water, this is a good place to start.
I'll have boats on the docks and I'll be there in person. No better way to do this than face to face.
What’s on the Docks
Find me at slips B-42 and B-43. The two featured boats this weekend are a 2019 Tiara 38 LS and a 2018 Pursuit 355 OS. Both freshwater-only. Both are well-equipped. Both worth an in-person look.
2019 Tiara 38 LS - $399,500

Twin Yamaha 350s with 267 hours. Freshwater-only hull. Bow thruster. Cockpit A/C. Twin Garmin displays. Autopilot. Radar.
This is a well-optioned, well-maintained Great Lakes boat with very low engine time. Freshwater provenance matters. No salt corrosion, no electrolysis issues you'd find on a coastal vessel. For a buyer who wants a clean, turnkey boat without a lot of question marks, this one checks the right boxes.
2018 Pursuit 355 OS - $349,000
https://www.lukebrownyachts.com/yacht/2018-pursuit-35ft-charlevoix-mi
Twin Yamaha 350s. 267 hours. Bow thruster. Cockpit A/C. Twin Garmins. Autopilot. Radar. Freshwater only.
A serious offshore capable center console with the same low hours and the same freshwater-only history. Come see her in person before she's online.
More Boats Available for Viewing
If you're looking at a wider range, I have additional inventory nearby that I can arrange for you to view by request during the show weekend. Here's what's available:
A serious motor yacht for buyers ready to step up. Detroit area.
If you want performance, this is where the conversation starts. Detroit area.
2018 Fountain 38 Center Console
Capable offshore fishing and cruising platform.
A well-established model from a brand that holds its value. Worth a close look in the 40-foot-plus range.
A proven offshore fisherman. Built to work.
Lowe Lineup (2025 Models):
If you're earlier in the process and still figuring out what size or style fits your life on the water, the Lowe range is a good entry point. We can start the conversation there and work up from what makes sense for how you actually boat.
Why Show Up in Person
Photos and specs tell you part of the story. The rest shows up when you're standing on the boat. The way she's laid out. How she feels underfoot. Whether the systems look dialed in or like they've been patched together over the years.
I've been doing this long enough to walk onto a vessel and quickly tell you what's right, what needs attention, and what it will realistically cost to bring her where you want her. That saves you time, money, and the wrong decision.
If you're coming to Bay Harbor this weekend, let's connect. Serious buyer or just starting to figure out what you're looking for. Either way, I'm here for an honest conversation.
No pressure. Just good boats and straight talk.
Come find me at slips B-42 and B-43 at Bay Harbor Lake Marina, June 19 to 21.
