Like fine yachts, BMWs are known for high performance, true luxury and industry-leading design. Sterling BMW is proud to be a leading BMW dealer for Orange County and all of California – and to be this year’s official show sponsor for the Newport Boat Show.

More than 200 brand-new yachts and ocean-tested brokerage boats – the West’s largest in-the-water assembly of large yachts for sale – will be presented at the 39th annual Newport Boat Show. Attendees will get a rare opportunity to step aboard, inspect and compare these unique vessels; along with seeing the latest boating gear, accessories and services. And they’ll also get a chance to see live demonstrations of the high-tech JetLev water-powered jet pack personal flight system.

If one has been dreaming about flying a personal jet pack ever since you first watched the movie “The Rocketeer,” your wait is finally over. JetLev Technologies Inc. has introduced the JetLev R200 – a recreational jet pack that almost anyone can enjoy using over water. And it can be seen in action at the Newport Boat Show.

The JetLev system is attached to a 6-foot 200 hp boat with a Sea-Doo hull. Water is pumped up to the pack through a giant tube, and the jet pack blasts water down as the passenger is propelled upward. The JetLev R200 is designed for safety, stability, ease-of-use, and precise and nearly effortless flight controls. Users can learn to fly with just a few minutes of basic training and as little as six minutes of on-water instructions.
