The Seattle Boat Show cruises into town on Friday, January 31 and sails on through Saturday, February 8, 2025.
It’s the largest show on the West Coast with two locations: indoors at Lumen Field Event Center—with hundreds of vessels of all kinds and three acres of accessories and services—and on the water at the Port of Seattle’s Bell Harbor Marina. A free shuttle runs continuously between both locations.
Free Boating and Fishing Seminars
The show has always been known for its extensive line up of boating, fishing, and Boat Show U seminars. For 2025, the show is back to having three stages for the in-person fishing and boating seminars. This means there will be well over one hundred seminars to choose from covering boating safety, fishing techniques, navigation, cruising, and the latest innovations, technology, and more. The seminar schedule will be released on November 1.
Boat Show University (BSU)
More in-depth boating courses for a fee are available through Boat Show University, and in 2025 all BSU offerings are either 2-hour ($49) or 6-hour classes ($175), and tickets for each session are sold separately. Each ticket includes same-day admission to the Seattle Boat Show and one Tunnel Club drink voucher (which must be picked up inside the show at the BSU stage and are redeemable after 4 p..). On select days—February 1, 3, 4, and 8—there will be meet-the-expert receptions in the Tunnel Club to complement the BSU experience.
Fun for All
Fun features include wine and beer nights, Women’s Day (Mon. Feb 3), Two-fer Tuesday Tickets, Military Appreciation Day on Wednesday, and a special Kids Aqua Zone full of family-friendly activities.
