Grand Rapids Boat Show 2027 — DeVos Place, Grand Rapids

In its 81st year, the Grand Rapids Boat Show docks at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids for five days of everything on the water. The floor covers roughly five acres of power boats, motor yachts, cruisers, runabouts, fishing boats, and ski and surf inboards — the broadest array the show has ever assembled, curated for the Great Lakes. Pontoon boats take a large slice of the hall with the newest designs, features and cruising layouts. Beyond the boats, the show brings a deep bench of attractions: the Key West Crab Shack, an antique and classic boat display, a dive tank, the Boating Safety Certification Course, and Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel. Action Water Sports hosts the HO Sports Tube Truckload Sale, and attendees can enter drawings for gear like the HO Sports Sunset Tube and Bali iLand. ShowSpan has been producing the show since its beginnings as the West Michigan Sportland Boat Show in 1946. Doors run Wednesday through Sunday February 17–21, 2027, with weekday admission discounts for advance online buyers using promo code BOAT. If you are planning a trip around the show, staying in downtown Grand Rapids puts you minutes from DeVos Place, the parking garages below the venue, and the skywalk network that connects nearby hotels to the convention center.
