Cancun International Boat Show
Date: 4 December 2026 – 6 December 2026
Location: La Isla Shopping Village, Cancun, Mexico
The Cancun International Boat Show and Marine Expo runs from 4 to 6 December 2026 at La Isla Shopping Village in Cancun's hotel zone. More than 40 yacht brands display boats in the water and on shore, alongside marine engines, electronics, fishing tackle, dive gear, kayaks and foils. There are live watersports demonstrations, two VIP lounges and a program of networking events aimed at dealers, brokers and marina operators. The show pitches itself at Latin America's growing boating market, which has surprisingly few events of this scale for a region with so much coastline. Cancun is an easy sell as a venue in early December, and the format leans lifestyle expo as much as trade fair. Tickets are sold to the general public, so you do not need industry credentials to walk the docks and look at boats.
