You all know that ICON radios are my absolute favorite here at the Miami Boat Show, and I wanted to take a look look at some of the new boats here and see what kind of technology they've got on board. Icom. Icom. There's Icom here, and there's Icom here. And there's Icom on Jupiter boats too. And there's Icom there too. Icoms everywhere.

About the author

Kelly Gordon

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn0hMUAFubbrX4EH7_ArYWg https://www.tiktok.com/@captain_kellyjgordon Captain Kelly J. Gordon, is an accomplished motor yacht captain whose start was far from the water as she grew up on a farm in small town Indiana. It was her drive to succeed, learn, and thirst for adventure that led her to a career in yachting. Her path into yachting was a unique one that started in Beaufort, North Carolina, where she now claims as home base, and has since allowed her to navigate many different seas. Kelly most certainly takes pride in her ability as a motor yacht captain, but also has a soft spot for the young adult and especially those that come with questions. As a former chemistry professor, Kelly loves to teach and it is certain that she will always find a moment, or many, to share what she knows with others and looks to encourage and inspire those that dream of a career in the yachting industry.
