Attendees have the unique opportunity to explore a diverse range of watercraft and gain in-depth knowledge from our esteemed marine vendors.

Beyond the maritime allure, the show offers a well-rounded experience featuring live entertainment, local cuisine, and family-friendly activities. Attendees can groove to live performances at our dedicated Shores & Island stage and find moments of relaxation in the Yacht Lounge.
