The Mid-Atlantic Boat Show, in partnership with Progressive Insurance®, opens today and runs through Sunday at the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina. Celebrating more than 50 years as the dominant boat show in the region, the Mid-Atlantic Boat Show is the newest addition to the Discover Boating boat show portfolio. The show acquisition reinforces NMMA’s stance that boat shows in large, populated boating markets are most viable and will remain a critical part of the boating industry to facilitate boat sales and engage core audiences.

“The Mid-Atlantic Boat Show is the dominant boating event in the region and presents enormous opportunities to engage target audiences, foster sales and complement our regional advocacy efforts,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, NMMA president & CEO. “A show of this caliber, in one of the top boating markets in the country, is capable of attracting a diverse and wide-ranging group of potential boat buyers. With Discover Boating’s marketing resources at the helm, we are excited to partner with the recreational marine industry in the Carolinas to break new ground for our industry and exhibitors.”

The 2025 Mid-Atlantic Boat Show will host more than 400 new boats on display, plus education for boaters for all experience levels through Fred’s Shed How-To Center, presented by Progressive.
