The Minneapolis Boat Show Is Coming — and We’re Already Counting Down

Nov. 8 2025 Events By Midwest Water Sports

Winter may not have fully settled in yet, but around here, our minds are already drifting towards, sunshine, and days on the lake! We haven't even seen our first snow flake but since the boat is put away for winter, we are looking ahead. That’s right — it’s almost boat show season, and we’re deep in planning for one of our favorite events of the year: the Minneapolis Boat Show, happening this January 22nd-25th, 2026! If you are counting like us, that means we are only 75 days until the opening of the show!

For us, the show isn’t just about shiny new models (though there will be plenty). It’s about connection — meeting other enthusiests, swapping stories from the season, and helping families imagine their best summer yet.
From early mornings setting up boats to late nights chatting about lake life, the energy that you bring to the show is something special. Whether you’re brand new to boating or a lifelong boater, it’s the perfect place to explore what’s next in the world of wake, surf, ski, and family fun on the water. It’s also a great time to meet the Midwest Water Sports crew, ask questions, and just hang out with people who love the lake as much as you do.

We’ll be sharing sneak peeks of what’s coming to our display, new MasterCrafts, Supras and Moombas we’re excited about, and some insider tips for making the most of your show visit — so stay tuned!

Until then, enjoy the calm before the snow flies, and know that we’re already dreaming of warm days, and another great year on the lake. Because summer starts long before the ice melts. The Minneapolis Boat Show is where it begins the kickoff to summer being just around the corner.
