Sea Ray-organised event attracts 7000 boats and up to 70,000 people to Lake Travis in Texas

Boating get-togethers don't come any bigger or better than this - Aquapalooza, the annual on-water boat and music festival.

The Sea Ray-organised event wrapped up on Sunday on Lake Travis in Texas, and this year attracted 7000 boats and between 65,000 to 70,000 people - double the amount that attended last year's Aquapalooza on Lake Martin in Alabama.

"Lake Travis is a beautiful location. The weather, while a bit challenging during our setup, turned out fantastic, and the music-loving Austin community really supported us in making this a successful event," said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing at Sea Ray.
