The Spring Boat Show Seattle Has Been Missing Is Finally Here

For years, spring in Seattle meant one thing for boaters: a long weekend on the docks, surrounded by the finest boats on the water, the skyline glittering across the lake, and that first real hit of Pacific Northwest sun on your face. This spring, that tradition needed somewhere to land. We built it.

Sundance Yachts is proud to announce the first-ever Sundance Spring Boat Show, April 24–26, 2026 at our Seattle Marina on Lake Union. Free to attend, open to all, and built for anyone who's ever stood at the water's edge and wondered what it would feel like to own that boat.

What to Expect

This is a real, on-the-water boat show — boats in the slips, decks open, and our team on hand to walk you through every inch. No pressure, no tickets, just a rare chance to step aboard some of the finest vessels available in the Pacific Northwest and see what life on the water actually looks like.

We'll have a curated selection of models on display across multiple categories — from sporty day cruisers to serious bluewater cruisers and full flybridge motor yachts. Our featured centerpiece this year is the Prestige M48, a flagship motor yacht that we've had the pleasure of shooting right here on Lake Union and Lake Washington — and trust us, it looks even better in person.

Demo Day — Take One Out on Lake Union

This is the part you can't get from a brochure or a showroom walkthrough. We're offering a limited number of on-water demos across the weekend — a private run on Lake Union with one of our team members, so you can feel how these boats actually handle.

Demo slots are scheduled at specific times across the weekend and are extremely limited — first come, first served. Each boat goes out once, and once those spots are filled, they're gone. The show itself is completely free and open to everyone — no registration needed to walk the docks, step aboard, and talk to our team all weekend long. But if you want a demo slot, you'll need to claim it in advance.

Golden Hour on the Docks — Saturday, 5–7 PM

After a full day on the water, stick around for the best part. From 5 to 7 PM on Saturday we're hosting Golden Hour on the Docks — live music by The TROPICS Duo performing dockside, wines poured by Argyle Winery, and charcuterie boards as that perfect late-April Lake Union light does its thing. Free to attend, no separate ticket needed. Just show up.

Boat Show Pricing — 1.99% Financing Available

If you've been thinking about buying a boat, this is your window. We're offering 1.99% financing on select models — Prestige, Jeanneau, Delphia, and Beneteau Motor Yachts — as part of our boat show pricing. This rate won't last, so come to the show ready to talk numbers. Our team will be on the docks all three days.

Boats on Display

Featured Boat: Prestige M48

The Prestige M48 is what happens when French design meets serious Pacific Northwest cruising. A full flybridge layout gives you multiple living zones — a stunning al fresco upper deck, a sheltered cockpit, and a sophisticated main salon — all aboard a 48-foot hull that handles Lake Washington as confidently as it would handle the San Juan Islands.

We've put this boat through its paces right here in Seattle, and the feedback from everyone who's stepped aboard has been the same: this is the one. Come see it for yourself.

Why Come to a Boat Show vs. Just Browsing Online?

There's no substitute for stepping aboard. Photos don't capture the scale of a flybridge deck, or the way a main salon opens up to the water, or the feeling of standing at the helm with the Seattle skyline behind you. Our show is a low-key, high-quality way to explore your options — whether you're ready to buy now or just starting to dream.

Our team will be on the docks all three days to answer questions, talk specs, and help you figure out which model might be the right fit for your life on the water.
