Why exhibit here

This isn't a general outdoor show with a fishing aisle. Every person who walks through the door came for the water — which makes for a short trip from conversation to sale.

A qualified floor

Anglers, boat owners, charter clients and families — not passers-by. They arrive with questions and budgets.

One roof, two days

Climate-controlled hall at the Ocean Center, drive-in load-in, and a layout built so no aisle is a dead end.

Promoted, not parked

Every exhibitor is listed on the site and in the floor guide. Seminar sponsors get named from the entrance.

The industry, in one place

Reps, guides, shops and manufacturers all work the same floor. Plenty of business happens between booths.

Booth options

Pick the footprint that fits

Exhibitor questions

What's included in the booth fee?

Pipe & drape, an ID sign, exhibitor badges, one vehicle parking pass, and your listing in the directory and printed floor guide. Electric, carpet, tables and chairs are ordered separately through the venue. Additional parking passes, badges, and others are to be ordered through the promoter.

Can I bring a boat onto the floor?

Yes — the hall has drive-in access and we schedule large displays first during load-in. Send dimensions and trailer details with your application so we can place you properly.

Can I sell products at my booth?

Absolutely — most exhibitors do, and attendees expect show pricing. You're responsible for your own Florida sales tax registration and collection.

How do I get a seminar slot?

Note it on your application. Speaking slots go to genuinely useful sessions rather than sales pitches — pitch us a topic and who'd present it, and we'll build the schedule from there.

What's the cancellation policy?

Deposits are non-refundable. If paid in full, 50% may be refunded through Jan 1, 2027, less a $150 processing fee. After that the full booth fee is committed.
