Visitors attending the Sydney Boat Show in August can be ready to place orders at the event by pre-arranging their marine finance through Jade Boat Loans. This first of two marine shows for Sydney this year is now only weeks away. Tickets are on sale so it’s time to gear up and get organised for your visit.
Sydney will be treated to shows in 2025. The August event is at Sydney Olympic Park and will focus primarily on watercraft which can be exhibited in the indoor space, as well as tech, gear, accessories and more. Come November, the On-Water event will be held at the show’s traditional home in Darling Harbour. This event will have all the larger vessels on the water as plenty more to celebrate the boating lifestyle.
Both events are owned by the Boating Industry Association (BIA) with the Sydney International Boat Show an iconic event since it was established in 1968. Mulpha Events, organisers of the Sanctuary Cove Show, were appointed as ‘event delivery partners’ a few years ago and have elevated the Sydney event to an even more exciting and must-attend show.
Many boating enthusiasts will no doubt have scheduled in to attend both events. But for now, it’s time to focus on plans for the August Olympic Park event.
