Sanctuary Cove gears up

Over 80 new exhibitors are expected at next month's Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show

Next month's 21st Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show expects exhibitor numbers to top 370 -- with over 80 new to the show. The boat show is staged at Sanctuary Cove village on Queensland's Gold Coast from Thursday, May 21 to Sunday, May 24.


"We are delighted, given the current global climate, to enjoy such a strong response from the Australian and international marine industry with bookings continually taken from marine companies," said Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show general manager, Mark Jensen.


"It's exciting to welcome more than 80 first-time exhibitors to the Show, demonstrating there is growth in some sectors of the marine industry," said Jensen.


New products confirmed at the Show include the Australian debut of the 75 Lazzara LSX motoryacht and Bluewater Cruising Yachts' Bluewater 450M. The internationally acclaimed Marten 49 offers sailing luxury, while first time Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show exhibitor NorseBoat is introducing a sailing and rowing "cruiser", the NorseBoat 17.5, to the Australian market.


"This year's show not only has Australian exhibitors and manufacturers but we have also drawn exhibitors from the US, New Zealand, China and Taiwan," said Jensen.


Online general admission prices are $22 for adults and $19 concession. This year, free entry for children has been extended to those aged 14 years and under. A Two Day pass will be available for $40. The online pre-purchased tickets offer a small discount over the event day entry prices of $23 adult and $20 concession. Conditions apply.


There is a range of activities during the Show, which opens 9am to 5pm daily. This includes Club Marine cooking demonstrations with celebrity chef Bart Beek and, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday see Classic Hits 4KQ's outside broadcasts while street entertainment is scheduled daily. Radio station 92.5 Gold FM is broadcasting on the weekend from 10am to 1pm.


There is no onsite public parking at the Show. Visitors can instead choose park 'n' ride, water transport by water taxi or ferry, limousine or taxi drop off or helicopter drop off.
