See Us at the Atlantic City Boat Show - February 25 - March 1, 2026

We're heading to the Jersey Shore for the Atlantic City Boat Show, and we want you to stop by. Find us at Booth 448 from Wednesday, February 25 through Sunday, March 1, 2026 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

This is your chance to see our full line of inflatable docks in person, test the quality, ask questions, and get hands-on with products you've been researching online. Plus, we're bringing Rover Marine to the show - their premium inflatable tenders are game-changers for yacht owners and coastal boaters.

What We're Bringing to Booth 448

We're not just setting up a display - we're bringing the gear that actually matters for Mid-Atlantic boaters.

POPUP Inflatable Docks

Our complete line of inflatable platforms will be on display, including:

POPUP AQUADOCK (14' x 7'): The flagship platform. 98 square feet of stable surface perfect for yacht tenders, fishing platforms, or swim docks. This is what serious boaters choose when they need maximum space and versatility.

POPUP YACHTDOCK (14' x 7'): Premium yacht tender platform with enhanced features. If you're docking at Atlantic City marinas or cruising the Jersey coast, this is built for your needs.

POPUP DOCK 8 X 7: Compact but capable. Perfect for smaller boats, fishing kayaks, or as a swim platform for families. Easy to transport and quick to deploy.

POPUP AQUANET (8' x 7'): The cooling mesh platform. Half solid surface, half mesh netting that keeps you cool in the water. Ideal for hot summer days on the Jersey Shore or Delaware Bay.

You'll be able to stand on these platforms, feel the construction quality, and understand why drop-stitch technology at 5-7 PSI creates such a rigid, stable surface.

Rover Marine: Premium Inflatable Tenders

We're proud to showcase Rover Marine at our booth - the gold standard in inflatable tenders and adventure craft. If you own a yacht, operate a charter, or need a serious tender for coastal waters, you need to see these in person.

Rover Marine Battle Cat: Twin-hull catamaran design that delivers exceptional stability. Available in 10' and 12' lengths, the Battle Cat handles 10-20HP outboard motors and provides yacht-grade performance with inflatable convenience.

The catamaran hull configuration is perfect for Atlantic coastal conditions - superior stability in chop, excellent for boarding and diving operations, and handles ship-to-shore transfers with confidence. The high-pressure V-Teak PVC flooring creates a rigid deck surface that rivals traditional RIBs.

Rover Marine Battle Boat: Traditional single-hull design optimized for speed and maneuverability. Supports up to 20HP motors and delivers the performance yacht owners expect from a premium tender.

The Battle Boat excels in protected coastal waters, harbors, and bays - exactly the conditions you'll find along the Jersey Shore, in Atlantic City's marina district, and throughout the Delaware Bay region.

Both Rover Marine models feature:

- Professional-grade marine construction built for saltwater- Reinforced transoms for outboard motors- Rapid deployment (8-10 minutes from bag to water)- Compact stowage that saves deck space- UV-resistant materials for coastal durability- Precision-welded seams and premium components

Why Visit Us at the Show?

Online research only gets you so far. Here's what you get by visiting Booth 448 in person.

Hands-On Product Testing

Stand on the platforms. Feel the rigidity of properly inflated drop-stitch construction. Compare sizes side-by-side. Understand the difference between 8-foot and 14-foot platforms when you can actually see them together.

Check out the Rover Marine tenders up close - inspect the V-Teak flooring, test the transom reinforcement, see the quality of seams and valves. These are premium products, and the quality is obvious when you examine them in person.

Why Atlantic City Boat Show Matters for Mid-Atlantic Boaters

The Atlantic City Boat Show serves the massive Mid-Atlantic boating community - from New Jersey's 127 miles of coastline to Delaware Bay, the Delaware River, and countless inland lakes and reservoirs.

This region has diverse boating needs:

- Coastal cruising along the Jersey Shore- Delaware Bay fishing and crabbing- Intracoastal Waterway travel- Inland lake recreation (Lake Hopatcong, Greenwood Lake, Round Valley)- River boating (Delaware River, Mullica River)- Marina and yacht club culture

Our inflatable docks and Rover Marine tenders are built for these exact conditions. The portability matters when you're moving between locations. The durability matters in saltwater. The stability matters in tidal waters and coastal chop.

This isn't gear designed for calm lakes in the Midwest. This is equipment engineered for real Atlantic coastal conditions.

Plan Your Visit to Booth 448

Here's how to make the most of your visit:

Come early in the day: Weekday afternoons and Sunday are typically less crowded than Saturday. You'll have more time to talk with our team and examine products without crowds.

Bring measurements: If you're buying a dock for a specific boat or space, bring dimensions. We can help you size correctly.

Ask about local conditions: We know the Mid-Atlantic boating scene. Ask about anchoring in tidal waters, dealing with saltwater, storage during hurricane season, or any regional concerns.

Check out Rover Marine: Even if you're not in the market for a tender right now, see what premium inflatable construction looks like. It'll change your perspective on what inflatables can do.

Take advantage of show pricing: If you've been researching online, the show is the time to buy. We're bringing deals you won't see the rest of the year.
