If boating is part of your lifestyle—or part of your plans for 2026—attend the 66th annual Portland Boat Show.

Known as the largest trailerable boat show in the West, the Portland Boat Show is the ultimate destination for boat shoppers, enthusiasts and anyone dreaming of life on the water.

Here’s what you can expect:

From fishing boats to pontoons, ski boats and sailboats, all major categories of trailerable boats are represented at the Portland Boat Show. You’ll find the region’s top dealers and manufacturers showcasing the latest innovations and accessories inside 250,000 square feet of exhibit space.

With hundreds of boats displayed side-by-side, you can compare models, layouts and features. If you’ve been dreaming about upgrading your boat or getting started with your first vessel, this is your chance to explore dozens of styles all in one place.

There’s also boating accessories and safety gear, marine electronics, engines, propellers, upholstery and repair service booths.
