PROGRESSIVE BOAT SHOW EXPERIENCE

THE ULTIMATE BOATER'S DESTINATION

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 will showcase a collection of experiential boating lifestyle activations, including educational seminars, food trucks, and activity zones for the whole family. 

The Progressive Experience in Pride Park- Progressive puts your captain skills to the test at the Miami Boat Show, combining the fun of a carnival boardwalk with the timeless charm of an old port town. Take the helm at Hooked, a mega claw machine to win seaworthy prizes and sing along with Marina, a half fish half WaveRunner who loves sea shanties. If you’re lucky, you can catch sea-legged locals, the Captain and his Mate. They’ll tell you a story or two, or three of life on the high seas.
