Months ago, a group of dealers and marinas got together and realized something – the Occoquan River should have its own boat show! Thus, the Occoquan River Boat Show was born. This much-anticipated event will feature seven different brands of boats, making it a must-visit for boating enthusiasts and families alike. The show will be held along the picturesque Occoquan River, an ideal location given the abundance of marinas and boat dealers in the Prince William County area.
This year, the event will be held at Occoquan Harbour Marina (13180 Marina Way, Woodbridge, VA 22191). We asked Karla Justice the general manager, what she was most looking forward to, who replied, “It’s a great opportunity for people to see a large group of boats in the same size ranges, so they can make direct comparisons and find the best boat for them! I think it’s going to be a fun event!“
Hours for the event are:
Friday July 12 (Noon – 6PM)
Saturday July 13 (10AM – 7PM)
Sunday July 14 (11AM – 5PM)
This year’s dealers and marinas include Prince William Marina, Holly Acres, Hoffmaster’s Marina, and Harbour Yacht Sales. The Pirate’s Guide will also be there passing out free stuff! Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a variety of boats from some of the most respected brands in the industry. The lineup includes:
- Sea Ray: Known for their luxury and performance, Sea Ray boats offer the perfect blend of style and functionality.

Joe Hoffmaster of Hoffmaster’s Marina says, “I’m so excited to be a part of this first annual Occoquan Boat Show! It promotes boating in Prince William and Fairfax Counties, and I think that’s a really wonderful thing because it’s a great activity. We have so many marinas and so many resources to support that, and it’s something that we all should be utilizing. I’m obviously excited about our boats, but I also hope Prince William Marina brings one of the biggest Cobalt boats they have! Those things are racy!“
