Final Boat Show of the season brings Show-Only Deals to Daytona Beach: Sept. 18 - 20

Find the boat of your dreams at the Daytona Boat Show - Compare models and connect with top dealers.

The Daytona Boat Show closes out the 2026 season on Sept. 18-20 at the Ocean Center, giving new and seasoned boaters a final opportunity to compare boats, meet dealers and explore show-only pricing and incentives. 

Presented by the Marine Industry Association of Central Florida (MIACF), the consumer show brings together leading boat dealers representing 70+ manufactures and brands across a wide range of styles, uses and price points. 

Whether show attendees are ready to buy, considering a trade-up or beginning their search, the Daytona Boat Show makes it easy to step aboard multiple models, compare features side-by-side and speak directly with knowledgeable dealers.  

Boating is a year-round lifestyle in Florida, but fall brings a renewed invitation to get outdoors, reconnect and enjoy the state’s waterways. From family-friendly pontoons and sport boats to fishing favorites and luxury cruisers, the show allows visitors to compare a wide range of models, speak directly with local experts and find inspiration for their next adventure all under one roof. 

The show features bowriders, center consoles, deck boats, flats boats, freshwater fishing boats, jet boats, pontoons and surf boats for a wide range of lifestyles and budgets. Dealers and manufacturers will also offer limited-time show pricing and incentives, which may include extended warranties, service packages, waived dockage, upgraded electronics and accessory bundles. 

“Buying a boat is an important investment, and the Daytona Boat Show gives families the opportunity to compare options, ask questions and find the right value in one place,” said Paul Berube, owner of Boaters Exchange and vice president of the Marine Industry Association of Central Florida. “It is also an investment in quality time together. Research continues to point to the restorative benefits of being on and around the water, and boating creates a place for families to unplug, reconnect and make lasting memories. With show-only opportunities and the final boat show of the season, this is an ideal weekend to take that next step.”
