The Richmond Boat Show returns bigger than ever in 2026, filling over 175,000 square feet of the Greater Richmond Convention Center with the largest indoor boat show in the region. With over $50 million in boats under one roof, this year’s show features more than 200 boats, 100 brands, and 30+ dealers from Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland—all competing for your business.

Explore an unmatched selection of boats including fishing boats, pontoons and tritoons, cruisers (including 30’+ models), center consoles, wake and surf boats, bass boats, PWCs, kayaks, and more. Additional exhibits include marinas, boat clubs, electronics, water sports gear, safety equipment, financing, insurance, and maintenance experts—everything you need for life on the water.

New for 2026: expanded show space, Big Boat Row, a VIP cocktail party, more dealers and brands than ever, and a huge display of kayaks and hobbies for sale. Enjoy live piano music throughout the weekend, fresh oysters on-site, and exclusive show specials.
