The show, which fills the entire floor of NRG Center, will feature the latest in powerboats, pontoon boats, luxury cruisers, fishing boats and personal watercraft, as well as a large selection of campers and travel trailers. The Houston Boat Show is known for having everything imaginable for the outdoors, and that means great shopping for boating, fishing and camping equipment and accessories, patio furniture, art, clothing and even exotic vacations.

A highlight of the show is the Stingray Touch Tank, which features an educational presentation and live stingrays to view, touch and even feed. For beginner and veteran outdoors enthusiasts, there are dozens of seminars, including expert fishing demonstrations at the giant 5,000-gallon Bass Tub aquarium.

The children always enjoy Fish-O-Rama, a longtime Houston Boat Show tradition and extra fun way to catch a fish. Bubble Runners is also a favorite as children crawl into a giant inflatable bubble that skips and glides across a pool of water.
