About the Seattle Boat Show
The Seattle Boat Show, Indoors +Afloat is the West Coast’s largest boats show and features two locations, 1,000 recreational watercraft and more than 400 exhibitors between both locations. There are hundreds of seminars and the latest innovations in accessories (more than three acres of them) at the CenturyLink Field Event Center, plus world-class yachts in their natural habitat on South Lake Union. A free shuttle runs between both locations.
Unique to the Seattle Boat Show is the large variety of boats on display. At other shows, you may find yourself in a sea of bass boats or wakeboard boats. At the Seattle show, the boats on display are representative of the wide range of boating available in the region. The Pacific Northwest and British Columbia are home to perhaps the largest variety of boating in the world – whether it’s wakeboarding on the inland lakes, salmon fishing on Puget Sound or off Vancouver Island, sailing in the San Juan or Gulf Islands, kayaking in the streams and rivers, or cruising to Alaska. Every type of boating available in the region is on display at the Seattle Boat Show.
There are also approximately 200 free seminars during the ten days of the show. No other show in North America matches the Seattle seminar schedule in terms of the quality, variety and volume of seminars offered. Some of the world’s top experts are presenters.
