POP Board Co. will present its 8-inch thick inflatable docks and paddleboards at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show. The event, running from March 25 to 29 along Flagler Drive, highlights modular solutions for South Florida boaters. The company is partnering with Rover Marine to offer portable tenders alongside its products.
The 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS), organized by Informa Markets, will take place over five days from Wednesday, March 25, to Sunday, March 29. Show hours are set as follows: Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. POP Board Co., based in Santa Ana, California, plans to exhibit its products at this event, focusing on enhancing waterfront luxury through innovative inflatable solutions.
POP Board Co. aims to address what it describes as a stability crisis in the inflatable market, where 6-inch thick products often fail in demanding conditions like the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon. The company's 8-inch thick docks provide 33 percent more air volume, improving buoyancy and rigidity. Attendees can participate in a "Jump Test" to experience the stability offered by high-pressure drop-stitch technology.
The lineup includes the POPUP Aquadock, a 14-foot by 7-foot model offering nearly 100 square feet of surface area, suitable for sandbar use and reinforced with PVC to handle UV exposure and sand abrasion. The POPUP Aquanet features a mesh center for cooling while maintaining safety, and the POPUP Yachtdock includes extra D-rings and V-TEAK traction pads for larger vessels.
POP Board Co. also seeks to educate visitors about "ghost brands," which are online drop-shippers using inferior materials that degrade in salt air. In contrast, the company uses military-grade T3 Woven PVC and heat-welded seams, supported by a U.S.-based team.
In collaboration with Rover Marine, POP Board Co. will display the Battle Cat and Battle Boat tenders. These inflatable catamaran-style vessels provide stability for choppy waters and can be stored compactly, complementing the docks to create a complete portable boating ecosystem. The exhibit encourages visitors to consult the show directory for its location.
