The Fall Boats Afloat Show will be coming to Seattle’s South Lake Union from Thursday, September 11 to Sunday, September 14, spotlighting a world-class fleet of sailing yachts and high performance craft.
New for 2025, the show has expanded and now has in-water boats on display at H.C. Henry Piers, directly accessible from inside the main show. This must-attend show offers a wide variety of boats from the U.S. and Canada in one exquisite location—powerboats, sailboats, day boats, long range cruising yachts—and much more. Show-goers can learn about the latest boating lifestyle and technology trends, and also enjoy a full line-up of curated events while charting their next adventure: live music, delicious beverages and fun activities for the whole family. A boating tradition since 1978, it is the largest floating boat show in the Pacific Northwest and is presented by the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA).
