The Orlando Boat Show brings the water to the heart of Central Florida with a convention-center full of boats, motors and marine gear. It is the perfect air-conditioned escape from the summer heat, and a one-stop shop for anyone dreaming about their next boat. Bring the family and make a day of it.
When & where
August 28 – 30, 2026 in Orlando, FL, at the convention center. The indoor setting means a comfortable, weather-proof weekend of walking the displays and talking with dealers and vendors.
Why it matters
Orlando sits within easy reach of both coasts, making this show a natural meeting point for Central Florida boaters. Owners and buyers can compare a wide range of new models in one place, line up financing, and grab deals on electronics and accessories before the fall season ramps up.

- Ask dealers about show-only pricing and any on-site financing offers.
- Bring your must-have specs and budget so you can compare boats objectively.
- Great for families; the convention-center setting is easy with kids in tow.
