Eric Ward

If boats and being on the water excite you, you won’t want to miss the 2024 Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show. This is Georgia’s best and longest-running boat event, featuring sailing lessons and other aquatic excursions. 

Progressive will host this show at the Georgia World Congress Center in Hall C from Thursday, January 11th to Sunday, January 14th. 

In addition to showcasing different boats and marine products available for purchase, the Atlanta Boat Show will also feature a Happy Hour with brews, sailing seminars for every skill level, and a Kids’ Zone catering to children of all ages.

If you swing by the Bass Tub, you’ll learn about various fishing techniques from pro anglers, including observing how fish respond to different bait and tactics meant to reel them in. And at the Lake Life Lounge, you can kick back after exploring and relax with snacks, drinks, and live music. 

Fred’s Shed How-To Center provides important information to boaters of all ages and experience levels. At this booth, attendees facing boat-related issues can ask the on-site tech expert for feedback and solutions. 

Surfing fans attending the boat show will be treated to the exciting new Surfing Simulator booth. Here, they can immerse themselves in catching waves and “hanging ten” via virtual reality headsets.

The boat show wraps up with Family Day on Sunday, inviting parents to bring their kids for a fun day of boat-related games and various activities. 

General admission is valid for one day, with on-site tickets priced at $17 and online tickets available for $15. Children under 13 can enjoy the Atlanta Boat Show free of charge.
