ST. PETERSBURG - Some 25,000 boat enthusiasts and sailors from around the state are expected to attend the annual St. Petersburg Show and Strictly Sail, which runs through the weekend at the Mahaffey Theater Yacht Basin and Albert Whitted Park. There are more than 500 boats on land and sea, promoter Dane Graziano said. Some cost as little as $8,000, trailer included. Others aren't so inexpensive - the priciest is a 75-foot Hatteras luxury yacht that costs more than $4 million, Graziano said.

The show is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are $8 online and $10 at the gate for adults; $3 online and $5 at the gate for ages 6 to 15; and free for those 5 and younger.
