The Daytona Boat Show puts a weekend’s worth of boats, motors and marine gear under one roof on Florida’s legendary East Coast. From fishing machines to family cruisers, dealers and vendors turn out to help you shop, compare and upgrade. It is a relaxed, easy way to get your boating fix on the Daytona Beach waterfront.
When & where
September 18 – 20, 2026 in Daytona Beach, FL. Expect a mix of boat displays, marine accessories and gear vendors across the three-day run, so give yourself time to see it all.
Why it matters
For East Central Florida boaters, this is a convenient chance to meet regional dealers, compare current-model boats and hunt down end-of-season pricing. Owners can line up service and upgrades before the fall, while newcomers get an approachable entry point into the local boating scene.
Know before you go
- Come with a shortlist of boats and questions so you can make the most of dealer time.
- Ask about show-only pricing and package deals on electronics and accessories.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection for any outdoor displays.
- Bring measurements if you are shopping for gear that has to fit your current boat.
