The Sydney Boat Show exhibitors listing is now available at the event website for visitors to earmark the vessels they want to inspect and potentially buy. This show is set to be BIG, attracting hordes of boating enthusiasts. Being well-organised with a clear plan of what and where to see the watercraft and brands of interest can be a major benefit to keen buyers.
The event will be held over 4 days, Thursday-Sunday, 14-17 August at the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. This, the first of two boating shows for Sydney this year, focuses more on smaller craft, with the November event at Darling Harbour featuring larger boats with on-water displays. Take advantage of the exhibitor list now available at the event website to make your plan.

Tips for Boat Show Visitors
Visitors to this event can expect big spaces, large exhibition halls, big crowds and loads of hype. Great to cover many aspects of the boating lifestyle. But an atmosphere which can be overwhelming and distract buyers from the main game – to order a new boat.
Stay focussed by planning your visit but still allow time to browse and consider other options. Use the Exhibitor Directory to note not only the companies and vessels you definitely want to see, but where the exhibitor is located using the site map. Be uber-organised by plotting a trail from the entrance to your favourites to ensure you don’t miss out.
The website for each exhibitor is listed in the directory. Keen buyers may contact the dealer or manufacturer before the event to see if they will make an appointment time for a discussion and inspection. Many will oblige and buyers can then save time by not having to wait in line while others speak with the representatives.
Don’t be tempted to automatically sign up for dealer finance if offered on the day without first checking our options. We make our Finance Calculator easily accessible on mobile devices for quick interest rate comparisons and to easily generate repayment estimates based on our current boat loan interest rates.
Buyers that are set on ordering their new watercraft at a show should seriously consider applying for their financing before the date. There are effectively no downsides to securing pre-approved financing compared with after you’ve committed to the sale. The rates and loan products are the same and there is no obligation to proceed if you don’t proceed to order within the validity period of the loan offer.
