2024 Seattle Boat Show Dates Set; 177 Fishing, Other Seminars Planned
THE FOLLOWING IS A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SEATTLE BOAT SHOW
The 2024 Seattle Boat Show cruises into town on Friday, Feb 2 and sails on through Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024. It’s the largest show on the West Coast with two locations: indoors at Lumen Field Event Center — with hundreds of vessels of all kinds and three acres of accessories and services — and on the water at the Port of Seattle’s Bell Harbor Marina.
Free Boating and Fishing Seminars
The show has always been known for its extensive line up of boating, fishing and Boat Show U seminars. For 2024, the show is back to the pre-pandemic formula of three stages for the in-person fishing and boating seminars. This means there will be 177 seminars to choose from in 2024 — 107 more than 2023 — covering everything from boating safety, fishing techniques, navigation, cruising and the latest innovations, technology, and more.
