The Catawba Island Boat Show is a testament to our region’s genuine passion for maritime pursuits, featuring an impressive array of boats, yachts, technology, and lifestyle exhibits. 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.

As attendees stroll along the docks, exploring over 75 vendors, they can enjoy the warmth of open fire pits, engage in yard games, and discover the latest offerings in the marine industry.

The event not only serves as a platform to stay informed about the latest in boats and marine technology but also fosters a sense of community by inviting immersion in our local boating community. It’s an opportunity for boaters to connect with fellow enthusiasts, forging bonds within the shared love for maritime adventures and creating lasting memories.
