Get ready for a feast of flavour and fun as Miguel Maestre, aka The Crazy Bull, brings his signature charisma to the 2025 Sydney Boat Show, which takes place from 14 to 17 August 2025 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. On Saturday, 16 August at 1.30pm, Miguel will light up the Anaconda Main Stage with a high-energy live cooking demonstration visitors won’t want to miss. Watch him prepare his legendary fish and chips, boldly infused with his very own craft beer, Rubia.
After the demonstration, attendees can follow the aroma to the Riverina Garden Bar, where Miguel’s pop-up food truck will be serving up fresh, piping-hot portions of his iconic dish – paired perfectly with an ice-cold Rubia and with a side of show ambience and energy. Catch Miguel roaming the exhibition floor on Friday, 15 August and Sunday, 17 August, mingling with fans and hosting lively Q&A sessions packed with expert cooking tips and cheeky charm.
Maestre said, “It’s no secret I love cooking with passion – and nothing fires me up more than sharing great food with great people. The Sydney Boat Show is all about celebrating life in, on and around the water, and what better way to do that than with a plate of crispy fish and chips and an ice-cold Rubia.”
The Sydney Boat Show marks an exciting new chapter in 2025, expanding into 21,000m² of indoor exhibition space at Sydney Showground. Boating enthusiasts, families and first-timers alike can enjoy four action-packed days of all things marine, from the latest boats and marine tech to fishing demos, entertainment, and interactive family fun.
Browse hundreds of boats, compare new gear and dive into innovations across paddle, power, and sail. Experience the excitement of the Demonstration Pool, see the pros in action at the Berkley Supertank with daily casting demos by Michael “Cookie” Cook and meet fishing icon Andrew “ET” Ettingshausen during exclusive appearances.
The open-air Riverina Avenue precinct will offer a relaxed vibe with marine and lifestyle exhibitors, live music, food trucks, and pop-up bars, making it the perfect place to unwind. Meanwhile, kids can enjoy face painting and hands-on fun that ensures the show is a day out for the whole family. Visitors can also stop by the Boating Safety Zone, hosted by Transport for NSW and safety partners, offering expert advice and engaging activities to keep everyone safe on the water.
Sydney Olympic Park, located just 14 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, is easily accessible by public transport, including trains, metro, and buses. As a bonus for visitors, tickets to the Sydney Boat Show include travel on trains, metro, and light rail services throughout the event.
