2026 Flathead Valley Boat Show Recap

The 2026 Flathead Valley Boat Show was a huge success, and we want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by. With over 1,000 people attending, this year’s show proved that boating is booming across Northwest Montana—whether you’re planning weekends on Flathead Lake, exploring nearby waterways, or simply looking for a better way to enjoy summer with family and friends.

Clark Marine Center’s Entrance Exhibit: 9 Boats, Big Crowds, Real Results

Clark Marine Center was proud to have a large exhibit space right at the entrance of the show. We brought nine boats so visitors could step aboard, compare layouts, and talk with our team about what fits their boating lifestyle.

Introducing Godfrey Pontoons to the Flathead Valley

One of the biggest moments of the weekend was introducing the area to Godfrey Pontoons. For many local boaters, this was their first chance to experience how far modern pontoon and tritoon design has come—more comfort, more capability, and more versatility for Montana water.

Pontoons continue to grow in popularity because they’re a perfect match for the way people boat in the Flathead Valley: relaxed cruising, sandbar days, family hangouts, sunset rides, and towing fun—all in one platform.

Godfrey Sanpan: National Pontoon Boat of the Year

The excitement around Godfrey was even bigger thanks to national recognition: the Godfrey Sanpan has been awarded Pontoon Boat of the Year. For show attendees, seeing an award-winning model in person helped set a new standard for what a premium pontoon can be.

Why attendees loved the Sanpan

• Premium comfort and upscale styling
• Modern helm technology and refined controls
• Tritoon performance built for big water confidence
• Layouts designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories
