SYDNEY BOAT SHOW: Biggest in the Southern Hemisphere opens today

The 50th Sydney International Boat Show opens 10am today August 3 as a special celebratory boating event

The 50th Sydney International Boat Shows opens Thursday August 3, 2017 until Monday August 7 in what will be a special year. The show has returned fully to Darling Harbour coinciding with the completion of the new, purpose-built International Conference Centre Sydney facility.

Already the largest boat show in the Southern Hemisphere, the 50th Sydney International Boat Shows will be almost double the size of what visitors experienced last year. There are almost 800 boats inside and 200 on the marina.

This is the first consumer show that will occupy 100 per cent of the available exhibition space. The modern footprint of the exhibition centre will mean that visitors will enjoy two vast undercover levels of exhibitions consisting of the very best the recreational boating lifestyle has to offer.  

In addition, there will be a superb external open-air deck perched five levels up in the sky encompassing a fabulous array of activities including pools with kayak and SUP demonstrations, and a display of sports boats.

Only a few minutes’ walk away will be the spectacular on-water marina display of large and luxurious motor and sail yachts, retro runabouts, sportfishers and other high-end craft.

Boating Safety is at the core of the organiser’s, the Boating Industry Association’s, charter. Once again, the show welcomes Transport for NSW as its Partner in Safety.  

The Boating Safety Zone will be a hub of information for anyone who considers boating a part of their life.  The Boating Safety Zone is a must visit location to get the latest information on how to make your time on the water with family and friends better.

Halls will open from 10am to 8pm daily from August 3-7 inclusive, while the Marina will open from 10am up until 7pm. Tickets can be purchased online and on site.  Visitors wanting more information or to buy tickets should visit the website.

We'll be in the middle of the action at the 50th Sydney International Boat Show and bringing you all the action on our social media platforms, in particular our Facebook boatsales.com.au page.
