The North Florida Marine Association will host the 76th Annual Jacksonville Boat Show January 26 - 28 at the Prime Osborn Convention Center. This beloved North Florida event has been bringing together the boating community since 1947.
This year’s Boat Show, sponsored by VyStar Credit Union, brings new dealers to the Convention Center, ensuring attendees will see even more boat brands than in prior shows. Showgoers will enjoy three days of water-related fun, family-friendly activities, and educational seminars—as well as amazing deals on hundreds of boats and thousands of accessories. Boat Show attendees will also be among the first to see and board brand-new models of all types of watercraft, including fishing boats, cruisers, ski boats, pontoons, inflatables, personal watercraft, and more.
The 76th Annual Jacksonville Boat Show highlights include:
