See LC8 Marine at the 2026 Newport International Boat Show

Our Biggest Newport Boat Show Lineup Yet

LC8 Marine specializes in boats designed to do more.

For the 2026 Newport International Boat Show, we’re bringing together Finnish all-season craftsmanship from SARGO, rugged aluminum performance from Life Proof Boats, and innovative amphibious technology from SEALEGS.

Each brand approaches boating differently, but they share many of the qualities we value at LC8 Marine: thoughtful engineering, real-world capability, safety, performance and the freedom to use your boat on your terms.

Scott Dyer and the LC8 Marine team will be on the dock throughout the show to walk you through each boat, answer questions and help you compare which platform best fits the way you boat.

Life Proof Boats 33 Full Cabin:

Life Proof 33 Full Cabin: Rugged Aluminum Meets Serious Comfort

If your idea of boating involves going farther, tackling changing conditions and having a boat built to take serious use, come aboard the Life Proof 33 Full Cabin.

Built with robust aluminum construction and a deep-V hull, the Life Proof 33 Full Cabin combines serious performance with a surprisingly comfortable cruising layout. Shock-mitigating seating, a galley, convertible sleeping accommodations and an enclosed head and shower make it capable of much more than a day on the water.

The design also incorporates Life Proof’s signature drop bow door, creating easy access to beaches, docks and the water.

The 33 Full Cabin is the most popular Life Proof model sold by LC8 Marine, and it’s easy to understand why. It can serve as a coastal cruiser, family adventure boat or fishing platform while delivering the rugged construction and performance for which Life Proof Boats are known.

For anyone researching aluminum boats, rugged offshore boats, full-cabin boats, high-performance pilothouse boats or adventure boats, make sure this one is on your Newport list.

SARGO 28:

SARGO 28: A True All-Season Family Cruiser

Built in Finland, SARGO boats are designed for demanding conditions and extended boating seasons, something that makes them particularly well suited to New England and Northeast boating.

The SARGO 28 packs impressive capability into a compact, highly maneuverable package. With its enclosed pilothouse, walkaround deck, two separate cabins, panoramic visibility and smart Scandinavian design, it’s equally suited to a quick run across the bay or a weekend cruising with the family.

At LC8, we like to call the SARGO 28 the sports car of the SARGO lineup: compact, fast and incredibly fun to drive, without sacrificing the comfort and capability that define the SARGO brand.

For boaters comparing pilothouse boats, all-weather boats, Scandinavian boats or year-round cruising boats, the SARGO 28 is one you’ll want to step aboard at Newport.

SEALEGS 7.5 & 6.1

SEALEGS 7.5 & 6.1: Meet the Amphibious Boats That Drive on Land

Yes, they really do have wheels.

SEALEGS amphibious boats are designed to transition between land and water using an integrated amphibious system. Instead of relying on a conventional trailer and boat ramp every time you launch, a SEALEGS can drive from shore into the water, raise its wheels and operate as a high-performance powerboat.

At Newport, LC8 Marine will have two SEALEGS models on display: the SEALEGS 7.5 and SEALEGS 6.1.

The larger SEALEGS 7.5 combines amphibious capability with the space and performance for exploring coastlines, islands and beaches, while the compact SEALEGS 6.1 offers an agile platform for boaters looking for easy launching, retrieval and access to the water.

For waterfront homeowners in New England, island residents, yacht owners looking for a highly capable tender, or anyone tired of the traditional launch-and-retrieve routine, SEALEGS offers an entirely different way to think about boat ownership.

If you’ve ever searched “a boat that can drive on land,” “amphibious boat,” “boat with wheels,” “SEALEGS boat,” or “boat that doesn’t need a boat ramp,” this is your chance to see how the technology actually works.
