The Discover Boating Chicago Boat Show®, in partnership with Progressive Insurance®, the annual Midwest boating tradition, is moving from McCormick Place to the Donald E. Stephens Convention & Conference Center (DES Convention Center), docking January 8-12, 2025.
Marking its 93rd year as the premier destination for boaters and future boaters from the region, the 2025 Discover Boating Chicago Boat Show will showcase hundreds of new boats for sale from the area's leading dealers, from entry level personal watercraft and pontoons, to wake sport boats and luxury cruisers. Featuring more boats to shop, the boat show is the ideal place to browse, compare and take advantage of show-only deals on your first or next boat. Visitors can also gear up on the newest boating accessories, marine electronics, and on the-water must-haves from top brands in the business.
Beyond the boats, 2025 boat show highlights include fun for all ages, from the new bumper boats and show-favorite Huck Finn Trout Pond, to the paddle sports pool and educational seminars for seasoned captains and novice skippers.
