The Port 2026

The Port is an annual conference built exclusively for watersport and boat tour operators. The sixth annual event is hosted by industry veterans Greg Fisher and Kevin O'Neil. The event was born from a 8,000 member podcast community, The Port is a hyper focused, two day event that gathers over 300 operators. Unlike generic marine expos, it is designed specifically for businesses that run tours, rentals, and water based experiences. The conference is engineered to help operators scale their businesses, master their markets, and improve guest experiences without the "fluff." Attendees gain actionable strategies from over 60 panels and workshops covering critical topics like local SEO, fleet management, AI in marketing, vessel upgrades, and proactive safety cultures. Meaningful connections are forged through dedicated roundtables, on-the-water boat demos, a Jet Ski Trailer Parking Competition, and evening waterfront networking events. Operators get direct access to over 130 vendors, software platforms, and insurance providers tailored specifically to the high exposure world of commercial watersports. Backed by a 100% Value Guarantee, The Port provides operators with tangible, immediately applicable tools to increase direct bookings, streamline their operations, and maximize their revenue.
