Sausalito Boat Show Returns Sept. 25–27 for Its Fourth Year on San Francisco Bay
Featuring Electric Vessels, Sailing Lessons, Live Music, Family Activities, and More
SAUSALITO, Calif. (August 10, 2026) – The Sausalito Boat Show returns to Clipper Yacht Harbor Friday, September 25 to Sunday, September 27, bringing three days of boats, marine innovation, on-the-water experiences, and waterfront activities to San Francisco Bay. The show will feature sailboats, powerboats, luxury yachts, electric vessels, charter yachts, marine products and services, seminars, and fun for everyone.
The show is more than boats — guests can also enjoy food from local favorites including HopMonk, Casablanca Mediterranean, The Spinnaker, The Coconut Guy, and more, along with craft cocktails, beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages available throughout the venue. Younger guests can enjoy model sailboat races, the S.S. Helmut pirate ship play structure, interactive activities, and a dunk tank benefiting Sausalito Marin City Little League.
“What makes the Sausalito Boat Show special is that it brings the full spectrum of life on the water together in one place — from first-time boaters and families to seasoned sailors and marine professionals,” said show manager Mitch Perkins. “This year’s show offers more ways to step aboard, learn something new, and enjoy the bay.”
Visitors will be able to climb aboard boats from leading manufacturers, including Pursuit, Riva, Axopar, Hanse, Chris-Craft, Jeanneau, Beneteau, Lagoon, Princess, Boston Whaler, Arc Boats, and more. Leading Northern California brokers and marine businesses including Helmut’s Marine, H&M Marine, Jeff Brown Yachts, Marquis Charters, Silver Seas Yachts, Safe Harbor, Svendsen's Bay Marine, and more will be on display.
Additional show features include:
• Electric Boat Expo: Guests can experience electric propulsion on the water, learning about the technology shaping the industry while checking out a variety of electric-powered boats.
• Introductory Sailing Lessons: Modern Sailing and SailTime will offer professional on-the-water instruction, giving aspiring sailors an opportunity to experience sailing firsthand.
• Educational Seminars: Free seminars will be held throughout the weekend on topics including cruising Mexico, diesel engine maintenance, rigging, and more.
• Women in Yachting Breakfast: Industry professionals and boating enthusiasts will gather Sunday morning for conversation, networking, and connection.
• Live Music by The ILLEagles: The Bay Area Eagles tribute band will perform on the waterfront stage Saturday at 4 p.m.; the concert is included in general admission.
• Motorized Boat Racing: New this year, racers of all ages can compete in motorized boat races held throughout the weekend.
• New PICYA Lounge: The Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association lounge is open to all ticket holders for talks, drinks, and views of the harbor.
