About the Show

Thanks for visiting! The 2008 show is now over and we're busy planning for 2009. See you then!

Start 2008 with a splash at the San Diego Boat Show! San Diego’s most complete boat show is celebrating 20 years as the best place to see and buy boats, gear and accessories! From fishing to cruising to family fun there are boats for every lifestyle, activity and budget—see everything from luxury yachts to kayaks displayed on land and in the water at the San Diego Convention Center and Marriott Marina. Shop booths showcasing the latest in engines, marine electronics and accessories, too. And there’s no better time to buy! The 4-day event is your once-a-year opportunity to compare makes and models, secure insurance and financing and gear up with the latest accessories all at one time!

While you can shop till you drop anchor, beyond the boats and booths you’ll find a festival of boating fun for the whole family. Take a free boat ride on San Diego Bay. The Take Me Fishing Center offers fishing seminars, demos and more. The kids will love Twiggy, the waterskiing squirrel, plus puppet shows, boating painting and more in the Kids’ Area. There really is something for everyone!

Whether you’re new to boating or consider yourself quite the captain, be sure to stop by the Discover Boating Center. It’s your one-stop resource for the latest in boating information and expert, unbiased advice.
