The Miami Boat Show is always a snapshot of where the boating world is headed, and the 2026 show promises to be no exception. This year, Chesapeake Bay Magazine and Annapolis School of Seamanship are heading south to experience it all firsthand, from cutting-edge marine technology and global product debuts to headline-making boat launches. Annapolis School of Seamanship is also proud to sponsor boating education programming at Sailor’s Cove and Pride Park, reinforcing the show’s focus on learning, safety, and confidence on the water. With exhibits spread across multiple venues around Miami, here are the highlights we’re most excited to check out.
Here are the highlights we plan to check out at the show:
* AutoCaptain, an AI-driven system from Brunswick is designed to assist with real-world boating scenarios. We want to see it handle docking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
* A few systems will have their global premieres: The B&G Zeus SRX and the Simrad NSO 4 represent the next generation of integrated navigation and control technology
* Mercury Marine will showcase a new keyless ignition system
* The show is the world debut of the Boston Whaler 330 Outrage, a next-generation center console
* The Miami Beach Yacht Collection returns to Collins Avenue for the first time since 2018
The show will take place at three venues around Miami:
Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park
Miami Beach Yacht Collection on Collins Avenue along Indian Creek
Sailor’s Cove at IGY Yacht Haven Grande Miami
Shuttles, golf carts and ride share access are available to help you get around the show.
