The Detroit Boat Show has been staged every year for 51 years, and is known as the premier boating event in the State of Michigan.  The Detroit Boat Show is known as one of the top boat shows in the country in regards to size, sales and attendance. 

The Detroit Boat Show is owned and produced by the Michigan Boating Industries Association (MBIA), a non-profit association representing marine businesses throughout the state.  Revenue generated from this event is returned back to fund boater interests via MBIA’s programs and services.   

Many dealers say they can attribute up to 50 percent of their annual sales to sales and leads generated at this show.  More than 1,500 boats, worth an estimated $50 million, traditionally sell during the Boat Show’s nine-day run, but it is much more than just a sales event.  The show also offers fun activities for the whole family.

“The Detroit Boat Show is a great event to attend whether you are in the market to buy a boat, or if you are just looking for an opportunity to have some family fun,” said Boat Show Manager Van Snider.  “We bring hundreds of boats for fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, pontooning, and cruising to Cobo for easy comparison shopping, but we also fill the hall with great activities and promotions for those looking for some entertainment or something to do with their families, friends, or kids.”
