Sydney Boat Show 2025 to host major product launches

Visitors to the 2025 Sydney Boat Show can expect to see a massive line-up of new boats and marine products when it takes over Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park this week from August 14 to 17.

More than 21,000m² of sold-out indoor display space, plus an extended outdoor footprint on Riverina Avenue, will host hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest trailerable boats, personal watercraft, marine technology, fishing gear and accessories.

Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) president, Adam Smith, said the event had become a key platform for brands to unveil new models and technology to the Australian market.

“The Sydney Boat Show will be much more than a place to see boats – it’s a hub for discovery, innovation and connection. It is where you can find all of the latest in marine innovation under one roof, including products that haven't even hit the global market yet,” he said.

“We’re excited and proud to host some of the most anticipated premieres right here in Sydney,” he said.
