The Progressive Boat Show Experience at Pride Park is the ultimate boater's destination, located directly outside the Miami Beach Convention Center. The Boat Show Experience showcases two standout attractions designed to educate, energize, and immerse you in the boating lifestyle: the action-packed AquaZone by Nautical Ventures and expert-led seminars. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, discover something new, or jump into the fun, these experiences bring the excitement of boating to life in unforgettable ways.
MAKE A SPLASH AT THE AQUAZONE, BROUGHT TO YOU BY NAUTICAL VENTURES
This year's AquaZone, brought to you by Nautical Ventures, was better than ever! Plunged into the action at our 40,000-gallon freshwater pool, where you:
- Experienced live in-water product demos
- Tried out the latest watersports gear up close
- Got hands-on with cutting-edge marine innovations
- Competed in fun contests and won prizes
It was the ultimate waterfront playground right in the heart of the show!

EDUCATION ZONE: Enhance your boating knowledge with our exciting lineup of FREE, expert-led seminars throughout the show. From hands-on how-tos to insider tips, these sessions are perfect for every skill level.
