Start with the boat you need to see, not just the event name. This calendar separates announced models, brand-only confirmations and historical participation. Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers have current exhibitor announcements; Seattle has a published 2027 directory. Other future lineups are explicitly marked as pending.

How to read the lineup labels
| Label | What it means | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Model lineups announced | A builder/dealer has named boats for this edition. | Guaranteed boarding, a final berth or a sea-trial reservation. |
| Brand announced | A current event announcement includes the brand. | Every model in that brand’s catalogue will be on display. |
| Directory listed | The organizer’s next-edition directory lists the brand/model. | Provisional details or model-year entries cannot change. |
| Planning / historical | Dates are published; previous participation establishes relevance. | The previous fleet is committed to the next show. |

New-model comparisons
FLIBS has the deepest current announced ABG-brand set in this calendar. Plan by exact variant and venue.
Explore FLIBS →Protected cruising
Seattle’s directory connects Sargo and Nimbus to the 2027 show; check final boats and berth details.
Explore Seattle →Chesapeake ownership
Use the Bay Bridge spring planning guide and the Annapolis fall archive together. They are different events.
Explore Bay Bridge →Before you travel for a particular boat
Ask the exhibiting dealer for the exact model, configuration, location and boarding arrangement. Confirm a sea trial separately. A guide can help you compare questions and itineraries, but it cannot guarantee that a show boat will remain in the fleet or that a sales representative can admit you without an appointment.
ABG’s category shortlist, brand directory and comparisons are research resources, not attendance lists. This calendar covers selected major U.S. shows with documented ABG relevance; it is not a complete register of every boating event.
Source-linked calendar data
Each guide links its organizer and attendance evidence. The machine-readable calendar carries the same event dates, source years and confirmation labels. New announcements should be verified before changing a planning label to a confirmed display.
