Harbor Island to Host the 2026 San Diego International Boat Show This June

San Diego, CA

The San Diego International Boat Show will take place June 11–14 at Safe Harbor Sunroad on Harbor Island, bringing one of the city’s major boating events to a waterfront venue on San Diego Bay. The 2026 show will include both on-water and on-land displays, giving visitors a chance to tour vessels, explore new models, and take in the coastal lifestyle that defines much of Southern California boating.

This year’s event is expected to feature more than 150 vessels, along with a wide mix of exhibitors, builders, brokerages, marine services, accessories, and luxury lifestyle brands. That range gives the show appeal for serious buyers and longtime boat owners, but also for visitors who want a closer look at the region’s boating culture in one place.

Safe Harbor Sunroad places the show in a part of San Diego closely tied to the water. Located on Harbor Island, the venue sits near the city’s marina, airport, and downtown waterfront, giving the show an accessible location while keeping the harbor at the center of the experience. In a city where boating, waterfront dining, and coastal recreation are deeply connected, the location feels like a natural fit.

For attendees, the show is expected to include activations and entertainment alongside its boat displays, adding a social element to the four-day event. Visitors can spend the day moving between vessels, exhibitor areas, and waterfront spaces while getting a sense of what is shaping today’s boating lifestyle, from ownership and charters to design and recreation.

With its Harbor Island location, broad exhibitor lineup, and connection to San Diego’s boating culture, the 2026 San Diego International Boat Show offers a summer showcase of the vessels, services, and coastal lifestyle tied to the region’s waterfront scene. Tickets and updates are available through the official San Diego International Boat Show website.
