The new Iliad 53S will have its first public showing at SCIBS.
The 2022 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) is back from 19 – 22 May 2022 with an all-star cast.
Whether you are dipping your toe into recreational boating or are a pedigreed pro, SCIBS 2022 will have a whopping 25,000 sqm of showcase space for trailer boats to meet consumer demand and increased interest in marine lifestyles.
From racy runabouts to fully equipped fishing machines plus plenty of apparel and accessories geared for all kinds of waterborne pursuits, the Sports and Leisure Precinct is guaranteed to float your boat with everything you need for your next adventure.
SCIBS General Manager Johan Hasser said the marine industry had witnessed an enormous surge in boat ownership, buoyed by the popularity of recreational boating as a fun and safe leisure activity with broad appeal.
“Boating continues to be a standout leisure activity accessible to everyone, all from first-timers and families to seasoned sport fishers,” Mr Hasser said.
“Presented by Mulpha Events, SCIBS looks forward to offering a dedicated exhibition area for trailerable boats, ensuring a wide range of options from entry-level compact models to larger sport cruisers.”
Long-time SCIBS exhibitor Whittley Boats will bring its entire fleet of trailerable boats and exhibit its new series with Mercury Marine outboard motors for the first time.
The range of five Sport Cruisers, three Sea Legend and three Fish Finder models will be exhibited on trailers to demonstrate towability.
Another SCIBS stalwart, Gold Coast dealer Surf Coast Marine, will showcase several Suzuki-powered Quintrex trailer boats in the current range, including Cruiseabout and Freestyler bowriders, fishing side consoles and Trident offshore cabin boats.
Surf Coast Marine General Manager Adam Dziewierz said the dealership specialises in family-fun bowriders and open boats that capitalise on the iconic Gold Coast waterways and further afield for extended boating holidays.
Quality Marine Clothing (QMC) will be on the ground to ensure SCIBS attendees look the part with new brands and products on display, including Code-Zero, a Dutch range of technical and casual lifestyle clothing and accessories NautiBags, made from locally sourced recycled sails and handbuilt in Brisbane.
