Big Seattle Boat Show on and off the water - 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 and fishing seminars, including low-tech and high-tech topics from boat maintenance to kayak fishing, crabbing, Wi-Fi in the wilderness, and dozens more.

The big Seattle boat show is an indoors and outdoors event. It takes place at TWO locations: indoors at CenturyLink Field Event Center and on the water at South Lake Union.

You can park at either location and take the free shuttle to see everything at both locations.
