Lake Lanier Boat Show

The Lake Lanier Boat Show is Georgia's premier in-water boat show, featuring 225+ boats from over 50 brands represented by 15 local dealers. Displaying all vessels directly on Lake Lanier rather than traditional indoor floors, the show allows visitors to climb aboard and experience boats in their natural element. The event highlights newest models with exclusive pricing and creates a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere suited to both first-time buyers and experienced boaters. Attendees engage directly with local dealers and brand experts to explore features, compare options, and find vessels matching their lifestyle—from family cruising to performance boating. By eliminating show-floor gimmicks and high-pressure tactics, the experience emphasizes clear, confident decision-making. Hosted by the Marine Trade Association of Metro Atlanta, it represents a fundamentally different approach to boat shopping. Visitors can genuinely visualize themselves on the water before making a purchase decision.
