The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show, New Zealand’s largest and longest-running boat show, returns to Auckland on May 15-18 2025, with more to offer than ever before! Whether you’re a seasoned boater or just starting out, The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show is the perfect place to check out the latest boats, engines, trailers, electronics, and accessories. With over 200 exhibitors and 40 boat brands on display, there’s something for everyone. And don’t worry, keen anglers—the show always delivers on the fishing front!
The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show prides itself on being a family-friendly event, and there will be loads for the kids to do. Fishing activations, scale powerboat racing, bumper boats, a rodeo shark and a huge inflatable pirate ship are all on offer to keep the kids entertained! The best news is that all the rides are free with an entry ticket. Kids aged 5 and under can enter the show for free, while tickets are only $5 for kids aged 6-15. Both kids and big kids (a.k.a. adults) alike can meet their heroes at the show, with fishing legends including Scott and Mig from Fishing & Adventure, Matt Watson and William the Fisherman.
The epicentre for food and beverage at the show will be the Kai Collective hub, which will be bigger and better than ever with new exhibitors and a refreshed layout. Located across from the Shimano Fishing Pavilion is the brand-new Fishing, Dive & Travel Zone, meaning it’ll be easy to find all your fishing and diving gear, plus incredible destinations to fish and dive, all in one area of the show.! Find the latest in trailer technology in the new Trailer Hub featuring trailers, trailer parts, and ‘Trailer 101’ sessions covering everything you need to know about towing.
It wouldn’t be The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show without one helluva Grand Prize, would it? One lucky attendee at the 2025 Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show will score the ultimate prize: a jaw-dropping Surtees/Yamaha boat package worth over $360,000! Plus, all tickets purchased online before midnight on May 12 will be eligible for a bonus entry into the draw to win the grand Prize—a new Surtees 770 Game Fisher powered by a Yamaha F350 4.3L V6.
