The 70th annual Tulsa Boat, Sport & Travel Show is officially underway — and Nine Powersports is on the floor with some of our favorite boats this year. Whether you're in the market for your first boat or ready to upgrade, this is the biggest week of the year to see what's out there. Here's everything you need to know before you go.
When and Where
The show runs February 2–8, 2026 at the SageNet Center at Expo Square (4145 E 21st St, Tulsa, OK 74114). That's a full seven days to find time in your schedule.
Daily Hours:
- Monday (Preview Night): 5 PM – 9 PM
- Tuesday – Thursday: 12 PM – 8 PM
- Friday: 12 PM – 9 PM
- Saturday: 10 AM – 9 PM
- Sunday: 11 AM – 4 PM
Pro tip: If you can swing a weekday visit — especially Tuesday through Thursday — you'll have more room to walk the floor, spend time talking with dealers, and actually sit in the boats without fighting a crowd. Saturday is the busiest day by far.
Tickets and Pricing
General admission is $12 per person. Kids 12 and under get in free. Discount coupons are available at select local retailers while supplies last, so keep your eyes open before you head over.
Tickets are available at the door or online through the Expo Square website.
What to Expect on the Floor
This isn't your average weekend boat show. The Tulsa Boat, Sport & Travel Show covers 10.5 acres of exhibit space with over 150 booths. It's consistently ranked as one of the top ten recreational shows in the entire country — and once you walk in, you'll see why.
You'll find hundreds of boats on display: fishing boats, pontoons, ski boats, cruisers, wake and surf boats, center consoles, and personal watercraft. But it goes well beyond boats — the show also features RVs, campers, motor homes, side-by-sides, ATVs, golf carts, boat lifts, dock equipment, fishing tackle, camping gear, and just about everything else that involves getting outside.
There are also seminars and workshops running throughout the week, covering everything from boating safety to outdoor cooking. It's worth checking the schedule when you arrive.
Come See Us at the Nine Powersports Booth
We brought some head-turners to the show floor this year. Here's what we have on display:
Tigé and ATX Surf Boats — If you're into wake surfing or wakeboarding, come see why Tigé and ATX are two of the most respected names in the game. The craftsmanship on these boats speaks for itself, and we have models on the floor that you can climb into and check out up close. These are purpose-built surf and wake boats that deliver serious performance on Oklahoma lakes.
Crest and Avalon Pontoons — Lake days with family and friends? These pontoons are a step above what most people picture when they hear "pontoon boat." We have models on display that show just how far the category has come — think premium seating, serious power, and a ride that'll surprise you.
Ikon Boats — High-performance fishing boats built to dominate on the water. If you're a serious angler, these are worth a close look.
We also have our Nine Marina setup at the booth — come talk to us about everything from wet slip rentals and dry storage on Lake Eufaula to boat detailing, fiberglass work, and our parts and service program. Lake time begins at Nine, and we mean that — we're more than just a dealership.
Beyond the Show: What Else We Carry
The boat show is a great place to see what's out there, but no single dealer can bring everything to the floor. Back at our dealerships, we carry even more brands that are worth knowing about if you're shopping — including a few you won't see from any other dealer in Oklahoma.
Monterey Boats — This is one we're especially proud to carry. Monterey builds premium sport boats and cruisers that consistently rank among the best in the industry for fit, finish, and ride quality. From the sporty M-Series to the flagship 385SS Super Sport, Monterey is the kind of boat you buy when you want something a cut above. We're one of the few Monterey dealers in the region, so if you've had your eye on one, give us a call or stop by our Eufaula or Norman location for a walk-through.
Tidewater — Purpose-built center console fishing boats for both fresh and saltwater. If you're looking for a dedicated fishing platform, Tidewater is hard to beat.
Varatti — High-performance sport boats handcrafted right here in Oklahoma.
Elite — Jet boats built for fun on the water at an accessible price point.
Tips for First-Time Boat Show Shoppers
If you've never been to a show this size, here are a few things that'll help:
Wear comfortable shoes. 10.5 acres is a lot of ground to cover, and the concrete floors don't get softer as the day goes on.
Bring a phone charger. You're going to want to take photos of boats, scan QR codes, and maybe pull up reviews on the spot.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Dealers are there specifically to help — not to pressure you. Ask about pricing, financing options, what it costs to maintain a boat annually, where to store it, and anything else on your mind. Boat shows are one of the few times you can talk face-to-face with people who really know these products.
Know your "must-haves" before you go. Think about how you plan to use the boat — fishing? Family cruising? Watersports? Lake size matters too. If you're boating on Grand Lake, Lake Eufaula, or Keystone, your needs might be different than someone trailering to the coast. Having a general idea will help dealers point you to the right models.
Ask about show-only pricing. Most dealers offer their best deals of the year at the boat show. Don't leave without asking what's available — you might be surprised.
