The organisers of this year’s SIBS are promising a boating extravaganza with everything you need to enjoy a lifestyle on, in and near the water
The Sydney International Boat Show returns from 28 July to 1 August 2022 at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney and Cockle Bay within the iconic Darling Harbour.
From paddleboards to powerboats, kayaks to catamarans, snorkelling to sailboats, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the 53rd SIBS
The must-attend marine extravaganza is Australia’s largest recreational boating lifestyle event with hundreds of exhibitors set to attract more than 60,000 visitors.
ILIAD Catamarans will stage the global launch of the brand-new ILIAD 62 Power Catamaran alongside the popular ILIAD 50.
Those looking to rev up their on-water experience can swing by the Kawasaki stand to check out its latest range of Jet Skis. Providing fun for the whole family, personal watercraft have many applications, from exploring to racing, fishing to towing and are easy to store and maintain.
For the boaties wanting to fish, sail and explore the great outdoors, the team at Boating and RV will help replenish stocks of quality boat supplies and accessories.
Australian dealer Collins Marine will showcase eight boats on-water, including the Australian launches of the Quicksilver 675C and 875 Sundeck.
Wakeboarders, wave-catchers and water-skiers shouldn’t pass up the chance to visit MasterCraft, an innovator, designer and manufacturer of premium wakesurfing, wakeboard and ski boats.
“We will have a great selection of boats from all the series MasterCraft has to offer, from our top selling NXT22 & NXT24, to the new XT23 and XT24, plus our top ranging X series,” Business Development Manager Asia Pacific Region Steve Gescke said.
SIBS is presented by the Boating Industry Association (BIA) and Mulpha Events.
The 5000sqm Event Deck has a purpose-built 35-metre pool for on-water demonstrations of marine products where visitors can see and trial kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and pedalboards and kids can enjoy free bumper boat rides and participate in a treasure hunt.
The open-air Event Deck is also home to the Rooftop Bar, the ideal place to relax and gather with family and friends while enjoying a spectacular view across the city.
The Main Stage will feature fishing demonstrations with Brett Thomson at the Yamaha Fishing Tank and cooking tips with Channel 7’s boating, fishing and weather expert, Paul Burt.
