The International Sail and Power Boat Show is the West Coast's largest in-water and indoor boat show featuring hundreds of motoryachts, cruisers, sailboats, fishing boats, performance sportboats, family trailerables, ski boats, pontoons, inflatables, and personal watercraft. 

Long Beach also boasts the best selection of sailboats, large and small, new and brokerage, in the western United States.
