Welcome to the

Chicago Boat Show

Mark your calendars because the 2027 Discover Boating® Chicago Boat Show® (in partnership with Progressive® Insurance) is back!  We can't wait to see you at the Donald E. Stephens Convention & Conference Center on February 3rd - 7th, 2027. 

 Whether you're looking to compare potential boat brands, purchase a vessel, or learn from the pros, this year's show has something in store for everyone. 

Boat shows are one of the best ways for first-time boaters to purchase vessels. Why? There are ample opportunities to compare brands and models side by side.

Additionally, boat shows have a wide variety of hands-on learning opportunities and activities for the entire family. Not only do these offer a taste of the boating lifestyle, but they're an opportunity to make meaningful connections with other enthusiasts.
