1-4 August 2024 - Exhibitor applications now open.
Presented by the Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) in conjunction with event delivery partner, Mulpha Events, the four-day event set amongst Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour, will showcase the best of the boating lifestyle.
From the large fleet of powerboats and sailboats on the event marina, through to a host of premium exhibitors displaying the latest trailer boats, personal watercraft, and marine technology in the exhibition halls. Exhibitors looking to further enhance their presence and customer reach across the Australian marine industry are encouraged to register, with applications now open.
After strong visitation last year, 2024 is set to be even bigger, with highlights to include an on-water display with more than 200 boats, over 19,000sqm of indoor exhibitor space, and a host of popular entertainment and activities, such as fishing masterclasses, water sports demonstrations, marine education, marine industry awards, and a variety of kids’ activities.
BIA President, Adam Smith said the Sydney International Boat Show is a highlight of the boating events calendar, as well as a popular day out for the whole family. “Whilst the Show caters to everything the serious or new-entry boater requires in one location, it really has become a great day out for all ages and interests, especially those exploring options to immerse themselves in the great outdoors on our famous harbour and fantastic waterways across the State,” Mr Smith said.
Off the back of last year’s event the BIA commissioned an independent economic and social impact report for the first time. The findings revealed that the event had an AUD$345M impact on the economy, created 980 jobs and generated approximately AUD$147 million in sales and orders based on respondent estimates. The report also found the event, which attracted close to 47,000 visitors, not only delivered a significant economic result but also proved a success in social benefit.
