The Seattle Boat Show is one of those winter highlights that reminds us why we love this community. Boats, gear, ideas, and a whole lot of good conversations packed into a few days on the docks and in the halls.
This year, American Sailing, American Boating, and North U will all be there connecting with schools, instructors, partners, and friends from across the region. If you’re heading to the show, we’d love to cross paths.
When We’ll Be at the Show
We’ll be walking the show and meeting up with schools and friends on:
- Friday, January 30
- Sunday, February 1
- Monday, February 2 (Women’s Day)
Keep an eye out for us around the sailing halls, seminar stages, and wherever good boating conversations are happening.
Schools We’re Excited to See
One of the best parts of the Seattle Boat Show is supporting the local schools that make sailing and boating accessible year-round. Make sure to stop by and say hello to these fantastic programs:
- San Juan Sailing & Yachting
Location: East 914 - Seattle Sailing Club
Location: Concourse 2335 - Anacortes Yacht Charters
Location: East 827
Each of these schools plays a huge role in growing confident sailors and boaters in the Pacific Northwest.
Seminars We’re Looking Forward To
The Seattle Boat Show seminar schedule is packed, but there are a handful we’re especially excited about. Many are led by instructors and presenters you may already recognize from our online courses, which makes them even more fun to catch in person.
