St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show

The St. Petersburg Power and Sailboat Show stands as the Gulf Coast's largest in-water and on-land boat exhibition, drawing record attendance to its 48-year-old legacy. Held at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts Mahaffey Theater and Albert Whitted Park, the show displays powerboats and sailboats both floating and on land, complemented by a 40,000-square-foot tent of marine equipment and accessories. Family-friendly attractions include Kids' Fishing Clinics with Captain Don Dingman and on-water boat training courses from the Annapolis School of Seamanship. Daily seminars cover boating technology, safety, and seamanship fundamentals for enthusiasts of all experience levels. The show attracts casual visitors, serious buyers, and industry professionals seeking the latest vessels and marine innovations. Proceeds support local conservation efforts, including partnerships with Tampa Bay Watch.
