Big Seattle Boat Show

The Seattle Boat Show is the West Coast’s Largest Boat Show featuring every kind of recreational watercraft, from stand-up paddleboards to superyachts and everything in between. The Boat Show also has acres of accessories, all the latest gear, and free boating & fishing seminars, including low-tech and high-tech topics from boat maintenance to electronics, and topics such as fishing, essential gear, safety, boating apps, navigation, radar, satellites, cruising, and much more. With dozens of exhibitors and hundreds of boats on display, there is no better place to shop for watercraft, boating accessories, and maritime services in one place.

The big Seattle boat show is an indoors, outdoors, AND online event. The Boat show takes place at TWO locations: indoors at Lumen Field Event Center and outdoors on the water at Bell Harbor Marina (Pier 66). You can park at either location and then take the free shuttle to see everything at both locations. Scroll down for detailed boat show information.
