With four boat shows spanning nearly twenty days in late January and early February, the 2024 Idaho boat show season is known for its boundless energy, community engagement, and of course, deals. The season kicks off with the Spokane Boat Show from January 25-28, followed by the Boise Boat Show from January 27-29. Boat shows in the Coeur d’Alene area kick off with the North Idaho Boat Show from January 26-February 4, followed by the Coeur d’Alene Boat Expo February 1-10.Â

Why are there so many boat shows in Idaho?
With such an action-packed schedule, you may be wondering why Idaho has so many boat shows. Traditional boat shows bring together multiple dealerships to showcase various boat manufacturers and models, along with information and accessories. However, some dealerships, like Tobler Marina and Hagadone Marine Group in the Coeur d’Alene area, end up outgrowing their regional boat shows and turn instead to an in-house boat show. In-house boat shows enable dealerships to showcase their entire inventory, browse the facilities, and meet the teams behind the services provided.Â
The team behind North Idaho Boat Show
Tobler Marina used to attend the Spokane Boat Show until our expanded offerings and services outgrew the venue. Today, we host the North Idaho Boat Show and are excited to welcome both returning and new customers to our facilities.Â
