The Stuart Boat Show celebrates its fifty-second year as the largest boat show on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Taking place January 16–18 along the St. Lucie River waterfront in Stuart, the show will feature more than 150 boats from all over the world—ranging in length from 12 feet to 90 feet and including motor yachts, cruisers, center consoles, speedboats, sport fishing boats, and pontoons.

“People like the hometown feel of the show,” says Cassidy Edwards, marketing manager for All Sports Productions, the show’s organizer.

This year, attendees can expect to see new sponsors from the local community, with exhibitors showing off everything from the latest marine gadgets and boating accessories to tackle and fishing gear, and even clothing. Edwards says the show isn’t just for boaters. “We have liquor tastings,” she says. “Plus we have nautical items, patio furniture, and other decor items to shop.”

Serious boat shoppers can also take a boat for a spin. “We are one of the only shows left that does active sea trials. Attendees can get on the boats and actually drive those boats during the show.”
