Sponsor Support for the Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo Continues to Grow

Brielle, NJ –The Marine Trades Association of New Jersey (MTA/NJ) is pleased to announce another sponsor of the Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo being held on September 27-29 at ShoreTown Ballpark in Lakewood, NJ. This popular, family-oriented boat show is a highlight of the fall boating season offering an amazing array of the industry’s top brands in an accessible and convenient setting.


Pettit Paint/ValvTect Marine Fuel has now signed on at the Supporting Sponsor level. Pettit Marine Paint manufactures and markets a complete line of high performance, American made marine coatings. Pettit is committed to keeping your boat protected and beautiful by providing long lasting, quality products that let you spend less time maintaining your boat and more time enjoying it. ValvTect Marine Fuel is specially formulated for marine engines and is designed to prevent the problems of ethanol gasoline as well as improving power, performance, fuel economy and reducing maintenance in both gasoline and diesel engines.


“We have a deep appreciation for the marine industry and the vital role that ambassadors like the MTA/NJ play,” stated Tom Maellaro, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Acquisitions for MRT Products. “We believe this is a significant investment in New Jersey’s marine businesses, and I am excited about the opportunity to support the trades.”


As previously reported, Pine Belt Cars will be appearing at the show as the Auto Sponsor. Pine Belt is a family owned and operated New Jersey car dealer since 1937 with a rich tradition of offering new or used cars, trucks and SUVs while prioritizing the needs of each customer. Pine Belt specializes in Chevy, Chrysler, Jeep, and Subaru cars. In addition to Pettit Paint/ValvTect Marine Fuel, also coming in at the Supporting level are Travelers Ocean Marine Insurance of Edison and Coastal Environmental Consulting, LLC of Toms River. Travelers Ocean Marine insures marinas, boat dealers, marine contractors, marine repair operations, ocean cargo, and other commercial marine exposures. Coastal Environmental Consulting provides quality environmental consulting services for land use and waterfront development projects. 


"We are proud to have such strong support for the Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo this year,” stated Colleen Blake, MTA/NJ President. “The participation from these well-respected companies is a great asset to the show. With the addition of Pettit Paint and ValvTect Marine Fuel, our wide array of sponsors reflects the diverse and dynamic nature of the boating industry.”


At the Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo, held at ShoreTown Ballpark in Lakewood, show goers will find everything they need to get out on the water. Attendees can expect an even larger display of new boats and new models to board, featuring all the latest innovations and technologies for 2024. There will also be a great selection of pre-owned boats unlike any other show in New Jersey. In addition, boaters can enjoy the boater’s marketplace full of great deals for gear, accessories, marine equipment and services. New Jersey offers excellent coastal, bay, lake and river boating so representatives from many marinas will be in attendance as well. The family friendly theme includes attractions for young skippers with fun displays and activities in the popular Kids Cove, sponsored by the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium.
