Big Seattle Boat Show - Greater Seattle on the Cheap

The Seattle Boat Show is the West Coast’s Largest Boat Show featuring more than 1,000 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 kayak fishing, crabbing, Wi-Fi in the wilderness, and dozens more. With over 250 exhibitors and hundreds of boats on display, there is no better place to shop for boats, accessories, and 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.
The online boating, fishing and sailing content was so popular in 2021, it’s back for the 2022 show! Similar to last year, all (72) boating and fishing seminars and (19) Boat Show University webinars can be viewed online with the Seminar Package ticket (more info below).

Each year, the Seattle Boat Show also offers boating and fishing seminars to help you explore new horizons and expand your knowledge of boating, taught by maritime experts who are excited to share their nautical know-how.

This year, seminars are available both in-person and online. In-person seminars take place at Lumen Field Event Center at Stage 1 on the Concourse level and can be attended by all visitors at the show on a first-come basis until seating is full. Each seminar is recorded and available later, on demand, in the show’s online seminar library which can be accessed with the Seminar Package ticket.
Boat Show University (BSU) classes will be offered as online webinars and are available to watch live (online only) during the Show or on-demand with a Seminar Package ticket.
The $99 Seminar Package ticket includes admission to all days of the show (a $36 value) and on-demand viewing until May 15, 2022 of all seminars and webinars, PLUS a 2022 Waggoner Cruising Guide ($39.95 value) AND a 2022 BoatUS basic membership ($25 value).
