Wharf Boat & Yacht Show bringing $100M fleet to Orange Beach

Posted

More than 800 boats and over $100 million in marine inventory will converge at The Wharf this weekend as the Wharf Boat & Yacht Show returns, marking the Northern Gulf Coast’s largest boating event.

The annual show transforms the Orange Beach venue into what organizers call the Southeast’s “Boating Epicenter,” drawing top dealers and national brands for a high-stakes sales weekend that has averaged more than $20 million in boat sales over the past decade.

This year’s lineup includes 140 sportfishing yachts, cruisers and center consoles in wet slips at The Wharf Marina, along with roughly 700 trailerable vessels displayed across the property, from fishing boats and pontoons to wake boats and personal watercraft.

The scale gives buyers a rare chance to compare models side by side while taking advantage of competitive pricing and limited-time incentives that typically end Sunday afternoon.

Beyond the docks, more than 100 exhibitors will showcase marine accessories, electronics and motors, including new products debuting at the show. “The Village” will feature more than 30 vendors offering coastal lifestyle goods in an open-air setting.

The three-day event also includes live music, food, kids activities and vendors offering everything from home furnishings to outdoor recreation gear.

Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with Sunday hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday is “Locals Day,” featuring giveaways including a stand-up paddle board, sunglasses, clothing and concert tickets. Military Appreciation Day returns Sunday.
