Docktoberfest | Test Drives, Demos, and Family Activities

GET ON THE WATER

Boat Test Drives

Get behind the wheel and test drive select Malibu, Cobalt and Pursuit boats with the Seattle Boat team.

Whether you're thinking about trading up, buying your first boat, or simply want to see what's new, this is your chance to experience the boats where they belong: on the water.

ALL IN ONE PLACE

Boats on Display

This is your chance to see more Seattle Boat inventory than we bring to the Boat Show, all in one place on Lake Union.

Walk through dozens of new and used boats from Malibu, Cobalt and Pursuit, compare models side-by-side, and find the right fit without bouncing between locations.

END-OF-SEASON SALE

SHOP BIG SWELL

Big Swell is rolling in with the Mobile Pro Shop and some of the best savings of the season.

Shop boards, ropes, life jackets, sunglasses, apparel, tubes and boating gear at end-of-season prices.

(And it's great excuse to get a head start on holiday shopping.)
