The Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show blends boats with the laid-back waterfront culture of Florida’s Panhandle. Part boat show, part lifestyle expo, it is a relaxed weekend showcase for anyone who lives — or wants to live — the Gulf Coast boating life.
When & where
March 5 – 7, 2027 in Florida’s Panhandle along the Emerald Coast. Venue and gate hours are set by the organizer, so confirm the details before you plan your visit.
Why it matters
For Panhandle and Gulf Coast owners and buyers, this is the region’s spring showcase — boats, marine gear and coastal-lifestyle brands together under one roof. It is a convenient way to compare local dealers and see what is new without heading south to the bigger metro shows.
Know before you go
- Bring the family — lifestyle shows lean toward all-ages, coastal-living displays.
- Confirm the venue and hours ahead of time, as details can vary year to year.
- Spring on the Panhandle can be breezy — dress in layers for any on-water displays.
- Come ready to compare local dealers and brokers all gathered in one place.
