Increased safety protocols implemented to create a safer experience.

Start planning for summer at the lake at the 51st Annual Upstate SC Boat Show at the Greenville Convention Center from Thursday, January 28 through Sunday, January 31.

This event is one of the largest in the state and features a vast array of boats and boat dealers. Come experience all the boating lifestyle has to offer, complete with the newest recreational boats, fishing boats, ski boats, collectors’ antique boats, personal watercraft, kayaks and paddle boards.

Whether you are an entry-level buyer or a boat aficionado, the Upstate SC Boat Show includes everything needed to enjoy time on the water, from boat basics to the latest in products and technology including boat navigation, docks, and information on boating safety and fishing equipment.

“The Upstate Boat Show is one of few happening in the region this year,” said John Wilusz, general manager of the Greenville Convention Center. “We are thankful to be a resource for our exhibiting boat dealers, many of which are small businesses, to help increase sales while providing a venue for people to find the perfect boat to create memorable experiences on the water with their families and friends.”
