Thank you to the 295 member businesses who made the 78th Seattle Boat Show a success!
As the premier boat show on the West Coast, we continue to attract attendees from across the country. This year, tickets were sold in 48 states and Canadian provinces, reinforcing the show’s national reach.
Despite snow and winter weather threats on five of the nine show days, exhibitor feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many reported strong sales, high-quality attendees, and valuable leads, making this year’s event a success despite the challenges.
We appreciate everyone who participated and helped make this year’s show one to remember!
