BOOK YOUR STAY

Boating enthusiasts, dreamers, and weekend wanderers—mark your calendars! The Daytona Boat Show returns to the Ocean Center from September 26–28, 2025, bringing together the best in marine innovation, craftsmanship, and lifestyle.

Presented by Boaters Exchange, this annual event gathers 16 of Central Florida’s leading boat dealers, representing over 70 manufacturers, all under one roof. Whether you're in the market for your next boat or simply looking to explore the latest models, this show has something for everyone.

Show Highlights

This year’s standout? The 335cc Offshore Center Console Boat, a vessel that blends cutting-edge performance with comfort and versatility. Built with exclusive RAMCAP hull technology, it delivers the most stable and comfortable ride on the water—perfect for offshore runs or near-shore cruising. New customizations allow owners to transform the aft space into a rear-facing mezzanine lounge for entertaining, or a tournament-ready fish station for serious anglers.

From sleek fishing boats to luxury pontoons, the Daytona Boat Show is the perfect destination to get hands-on with the latest innovations in marine design.
