SANCTUARY COVE BOAT SHOW: Biggest in a decade
The 30th anniversary Sanctuary Cove Boat show in May is shaping up to be the best in 10 yearsOrganisers of the 30th anniversary Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) from May 24 to 27, 2017, say the event is shaping up to be the best in a decade. An array of prominent marine brands has secured prime positions in what will be a greatly expanded show.
Already the exhibitor list looks impressive — Maritimo, Riviera, Integrity Motor Yachts, Whitehaven Motor Yachts, Palm Beach Motor Yachts, Grand Banks, Leopard Catamarans, Clipper Motor Yachts, Sirocco Marine North, Multihull Solutions, Multihull Central, Lagoon, Eyachts, Horizon Motor Yachts Australia, Dometic Seabreeze, BLA, Navico, Stella Systems, Yanmar, Twin Disc, Ronstan, Club Marine, International Paint and more.
SCIBS sales and exhibition manager Dominic O’Brien said exhibitor bookings have been extremely strong, up 20 per cent on the same time last year.
"Exhibitors are telling us they are confident of a great summer leading in to 2018 and they are taking additional space," Mr O’Brien said.
"More than 170 boats will be displayed on water, from superyachts to sailing boats, motor yachts, mono and multihulls, promoting every segment of the boating lifestyle.
"The Gold Coast is known as the gateway to the cruising grounds of the Whitsundays, so it makes sense to have a superlative showcase of multihulls, both power and sail, for visitors to explore."
Trailerable boats are said to have a strong presence throughout The Marine Village, with increased space allocated to sport, fishing and leisure boats including for the latest tinnies, fibreglass hulls, RIBS and PWCs.
SCIBS is also a strong show for catamarans. Lagoon dealer principal John Cowpe said their display will include the new generation Lagoon 40 launched in Cannes in September 2017.
Meantime, Horizon Motor Yachts Australia are excited to be hosting the global launch of the long-range cruising model and new release V81. Horizon Group CEO John Lu will be attending the show for the launch.
Long-time exhibitors Sirocco Marine North will have 15 RIBs right up to the BRIG Eagle 10 in an expanded display. Marine electronics companies are also lining up to display their latest bright sparks, sounders and nav gear in the pavilions.
