Seattle, WA
The Seattle Boat Show returns January 30 through February 7, spanning both Lumen Field Event Center and Bell Harbor Marina. Widely recognized as the largest boat show on the West Coast, the event brings together manufacturers, marine specialists, and boating enthusiasts for nine days focused on the current state of the recreational boating industry.
Hundreds of vessels will be on display, ranging from paddleboards and inflatables to sportfishing boats, cruising yachts, and large luxury vessels. The range reflects the diversity of how people use the water in the Pacific Northwest—from casual recreation and fishing to long-distance cruising and full-time liveaboard lifestyles.
The show’s two-venue format allows for both indoor and on-the-water viewing. Lumen Field Event Center houses the majority of the exhibition floor, where visitors can compare models, explore marine technology, and speak directly with manufacturers and service providers. Bell Harbor Marina hosts the floating portion of the show, where larger yachts and cruising vessels are docked for in-water tours, giving visitors a more accurate sense of layout, scale, and onboard functionality.
