The annual Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show is once again set to make waves on Jan. 9–12, 2025.

Taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center, the show is the largest and longest-running boating event in the state.

Established over 60 years ago, the Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show serves as a must-visit event for both seasoned captains and first-time boaters alike.

The upcoming event will feature more than 400 brand-new boats for sale, along with special deals on watercrafts, marine equipment, electronics and accessories.

In addition to the sales, the show will also host a variety of aquatic-related experiences, including free fishing demos, a surfing simulator, “Boating 101” educational seminars, along with a variety of kid-friendly activities.

Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show Manager Courtney Erhardt says that the event has materialized into an experience that locals “look forward to each January as they prepare for summer on the water.”

“One of our favorite parts about the Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show is the ability to bring together multi-generational boating families and those who are just getting their feet wet,” said Erhardt. 

“The boat show not only offers the best variety of boats to shop and deals to take advantage of, but also a great opportunity to connect to the lifestyle through a variety of experiences.”

Tickets for the event cost $17 for adults and children over 12 years old, while kids under the age of 12 can attend for free.
