Final Day of Coeur d’Alene Boat Expo at Hagadone Marine Center Today

The Coeur d’Alene Boat Expo wrapped Feb. 7 at the Hagadone Marine Center, offering a 10-day showcase of new 2026 models and select pre-owned inventory with free admission and daily hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The show ran Jan. 29 through Feb. 7 at 1000 S. Marine Drive (also listed as 1000 S Marina Dr, Coeur d’Alene ID 83814), presenting more than 100 boats and promotional deals promoted as available only during the event.

Organizers and promotional materials framed the expo as the region’s major indoor boat show. The expo site touted "100+ Boats on Display," "10 Days" of programming and "10+ Fun Events!" and urged attendees with taglines such as "FREE ADMISSION. ALL AGES WELCOME." A press release quoted in local coverage said, “This is the moment boaters wait for all year. From luxury cruisers and performance surf boats to family-friendly pontoons, the Boat Expo brings together the best premium brands in boating, all under one roof, with pricing and incentives that are only available during the show.”

The floor featured a range of manufacturers that the expo highlighted, including Axis, Barletta, Chris-Craft, Cobalt, Harris, Mastercraft, Malibu, Regal, Coeur Customs and Cruisers Yachts. Promotional copy emphasized Boat Expo–only pricing and "limited-time 80th anniversary incentives," inviting buyers to compare inventory and consider purchases while the show promotions were active.

For Kootenai County residents, the expo combined consumer access with community benefits: free admission and an "all ages" designation lowered cost barriers for families and prospective boat owners to inspect new 2026 models in person. Local dealers and manufacturers displayed inventory at a centralized venue that used Hagadone properties; Coeur d’Alene Press referred to the location as Hagadone Marine Center while the expo site used Hagadone Marine Group in its contact listing. Readers seeking follow-up on sales terms or event specifics can call the expo contact listed on the event site at (208) 664-8274.

Public health considerations for indoor events remain relevant for community members who attended. The expo promoted itself as an indoor show; that setting reinforces the value of routine precautions for people at higher risk of respiratory illness and of choosing lower-crowd times if concerned. The event’s free, family-friendly format and brand concentration also spotlight the local boating economy and recreational access, factors that affect Kootenai County’s outdoor culture, small business sales and seasonal tourism.
