2025 SHOW GUIDE
JANUARY 8-12 , 2025
WELCOME!
Welcome to the Discover Boating® Chicago Boat Show™ in partnership with Progressive Insurance®!
We’re thrilled to welcome you to our new home in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. It’s great to have you with us! With the holidays behind us and many cold weeks ahead, this is THE place to escape winter for a few hours and plan for summer and sunny days spent on the water.
What will you find at this year’s show? For starters—an incredible lineup of new boats. So, whether you’re looking for your first boat or your next boat, you’ll have plenty of options to shop and compare (plus take advantage of show deals and incentives). Not ready to buy right now? It’s still fun to see what’s new and geek out on the latest innovations and cutting-edge designs.
You’ll also find a terrific assortment of gear—accessories for all your favorite on-water activities and upgrades to enhance your time on the water. Not to mention items you didn’t know existed— or realize you needed.
Finally, to round out your day at the show, be sure to check out all the attractions, interactive exhibits, and boating resources. Take a paddleboard or kayak out for a spin at the PaddleFest Pool, visit Fred’s Shed How-To Center for DIY advice, and let the kids enjoy bumper boats and catchand-release fishing at the Huck Finn Trout Pond. When you need a break, swing by the Discover Boating Beach to enjoy a drink, music and snacks. There really is something for everyone.
We hope you enjoy the show. See you out here!

Peace of Mind
THE IMPORTANCE OF BOAT INSURANCE
Embarking on the open water is an exhilarating experience, filled with the promise of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a weekend cruiser, safeguarding your vessel with proper insurance is not just a choice—it’s a necessity. Explore the reasons why every boat owner should prioritize boat insurance for a worry-free voyage.
UNPREDICTABLE
Waters
The open water can be unpredictable, with unexpected storms, collisions, or other potential accidents. Boat insurance can give you financial protection if there is damage to your vessel, providing coverage for repairs or replacement.
Damage
AND INJURY
Accidents on the water can result in damage to other boats, docks, or even injuries to passengers. Boat insurance offers liability coverage, which can pay for damages or injuries you’re liable for while boating, up to specified limits, and lawsuit costs if you’re sued. This includes damage you cause to another watercraft or if someone on or near your boat is injured and you’re found to be legally responsible.
THEFT AND
Vandalism
Unfortunately, boat theft and vandalism are realities that boat owners face. Boat insurance has comprehensive and collision coverage that can protect you against events outside of your control, including theft and vandalism.
Payments
Accidents on the water may lead to injuries for you or your passengers. Boat insurance offers a range of optional medical payments coverage limits, helping to cover medical expenses if you are in an accident or someone is hurt on your boat, regardless of fault.
PEACE OF MIND FOR
Financing
If you financed the purchase of your boat, most lenders require insurance coverage to protect their investment. Having boat insurance not only fulfills these requirements but also gives you peace of mind knowing that your financial interests are safeguarded.
Flexibility
Some water municipalities and marinas may require proof of insurance for docking or accessing certain areas. Boat insurance allows you the flexibility to explore different destinations without worrying about entry restrictions.
EMERGENCY TOWING AND
Assistance
Progressive boat insurance can include optional Sign & Glide® On-Water Towing coverage. If your boat is disabled or breaks down on the water, Sign & Glide® pays for on-water towing, jump starts, soft un-groundings, and fuel delivery.
WRECKAGE
Removal
If your boat sinks, Progressive boat insurance will cover the cost of removing your boat from the water (if removal is legally required).
Investing in boat insurance is not just about protecting a valuable asset; it’s about safeguarding the memories, experiences, and joy that come with your on-water adventures. Don’t let unforeseen circumstances disrupt your journey—navigate with confidence, knowing that Progressive boat insurance has you covered. Ensure a smooth and worry-free voyage, because when it comes to your boat, peace of mind is the ultimate luxury.
We Share It
In a nutshell, my role at Progressive is to acquire customers for our motorcycle, boat, and RV insurance and protection products. My colleagues and I feel that we have a distinct advantage when designing our products, because as owners ourselves, we understand your unique needs and share your passion for these vehicles.
In my case, this has been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I'd ride on the back of my dad's Suzuki on Saturday mornings as we got out of the house and checked out local garage sales. Over the years, I graduated from a moped to my first grown-up bike: a beautiful blue Suzuki Katana.
After getting married and starting a family, my priorities changed, but I never lost my passion for motorcycles. I inherited a 2000 Harley FXDX after my father hung up his helmet, and I'm beginning to create those weekend memories with my own children, who don helmets and long pants for a chance to take short, low-speed rides on the back of "dad's motorcycle."
My most recent source of adventure if a Polaris RZR side-by-side that I got last fall. It's a four-seater, which means my wife and two kids can come along, and we take it trail riding in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I think of it as part market research for my day job and part family getaway. It's a great excuse for my family to trade in our iPads, video games, and other distractions for lunch on the trails. We already have many years' worth of stories to laugh about around the dinner table. (Yes, Kevin, I'm talking about that "shortcut" you suggested.)
I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention watercraft and RVs, which, of course Progressive also insures. After selling the Katana, we gave boating a try with a Sea Ray cabin cruiser and a pair of WaveRunners. In fact, I can honestly say that I either own or have owned every major type of vehicle we insure at Progressive, with the exception of an RV, though we often go camping with my in-laws in their Forest River Mini Lite.
Needless to say, I insure all of my vehicles with Progressive. The reason is obvious; I know Progressive is just as passionate about these vehicles as I am, so I know our polices are exactly what people like us need.
Being properly insured is important, not only for the vehicle, but to protect against liability and the unknown. I want to protect my family and our financial stability, as well as cover potential medical costs and vehicle repairs. My whole family enjoys getting away from the day-to-day with these toys, and knowing we're insured when we go out gives us all the peace of mind we need to make those memories even more special.
