The Oregon State Marine Board

Of course, the big draw for boaters in the area is seeing what’s new in boat lines, technology,  accessories and gear.  Manufacturers, dealers and retailers will be bringing in their latest designs for introduction to the public.  Expect plenty of new boat lines, brands and displays this year, and see what’s new from a wide range of manufacturers and dealers.

For more than 52 years the Portland Boat Show has been one of the biggest – all indoor – boat shows in the Northwest and the largest show of its kind in Oregon.  Each year the show looks for the most eye-catching features, the newest boat designs and lines and provides a wealth of boating choices for all boating fans.

The Oregon State Marine Board will have extensive information and resources plus boating safety activities for the kids with their award-winning Jr. Boater Program. The Marine Board will also be educating boaters about the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program, Mandatory Boater Education (plus offering equivalency exams), and highlighting the state’s new online boating access map, environmental programs and offering boat registration renewal…Plenty to learn and do at their display!
