The National Marine Manufacturers Association and Discover Boating announced that nearly 32,000 people attended the Atlantic City Boat Show, which concluded March 1. Additionally, several exhibitors reported stronger sales compared with the 2025 show, which NMMA said in a statement mirrors sales trends across winter boat shows.

“The Atlantic City Boat Show did not disappoint this year,” Aaron Krenzer, with Chaparral and Robalo, said in the statement. “Chaparral and Robalo boats saw strong sales throughout the event. Our booth was busy, and it was one of the most successful sales events of our season.”

Added Zach Crane, with Sea Pro and Monterey: “The Atlantic City Boat Show stood out as the best-attended show I’ve attended this year. The weekend turnout was the highest we’ve experienced in years. We had numerous meetings with qualified leads and successful sales transactions. I was extremely pleased with the atmosphere, strong attendance and enthusiastic buying.”

Next year’s Atlantic City Boat Show is scheduled for Feb. 24-28.
