February 26 – March 1, 2026 | Bonita Springs Poker Room
As Southwest Florida heads into prime boating weather, the annual Bonita Springs Boat Show once again offers the perfect opportunity to get ready for the season. Now in its 37th year, the show brings together boats, gear, and local expertise in one convenient location, making it an ideal stop for both experienced boaters and anyone considering getting on the water for the first time.
See Boats for Every Budget
One of the biggest advantages of the Bonita Springs Boat Show is the ability to compare boats side-by-side. Hundreds of vessels from the region’s major dealers are on display, allowing visitors to walk different layouts, explore features, and better understand what fits their boating lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking for a simple family cruiser, a fishing boat for local waters, or just starting the research process, seeing multiple brands in one place helps answer questions that online research simply can’t.
More Than Just Boats
Boating is more than the boat itself, and the show reflects that. In addition to vessels, you’ll find marine accessories, engines, electronics, boat lifts, services, and helpful boating information all in one place.
For many visitors, this is where boating starts to feel approachable. You can meet local professionals, ask questions about maintenance and ownership, and understand what it really takes to get on the water in Southwest Florida.
Relax and Enjoy the Atmosphere
The show isn’t just shopping, it’s a day out. The Riverside Pub offers food, shade, and live music throughout the event, giving visitors a chance to slow down and enjoy the laid-back boating lifestyle that makes Southwest Florida unique.
Easy to Navigate Layout
The Bonita Springs Poker Room grounds are organized so visitors can comfortably move between boats, exhibitors, and gathering areas without feeling overwhelmed. The open layout makes it easy to explore at your own pace, whether you want to see every boat or enjoy a casual afternoon browsing.
