Los Angeles Boat Show is Coming

It's that time of year when boat fanatics come together for fun under the sun. The Progressive Insurance Los Angeles Boat Show is coming to SoCal. This year, the event will be at two locations: the LA Convention Center and Marina Del Rey.

West Coast’s premier boat show will showcase hundreds of boats, from entry-level family cruisers to million dollar yachts, plus thousands of the newest marine accessories and gear, daily educational seminars and fun for new and experienced boaters of all ages. Both locations will have something for the whole family. A free shuttle will transport guests from one venue to the other.
