The Sydney International On-Water Boat Show will take place in Darling Harbour in November, its first appearance in its new format and springtime date. The show will shine over four days and nights from 13-16 November, with Darling Harbour set to come alive with an impressive line-up of luxury boats, masterclasses, gourmet food and wine, and live entertainment. Presented by the Boating Industry Association (BIA) in partnership with Mulpha Events, the four-day festival will feature a stellar list of exhibitors, and mark the return of renowned Australian luxury motor yacht brand Maritimo who will be at the show for the first time in five years.

BIA President Adam Smith says industry interest in the new-look format has been excellent, with strong representation from marine, lifestyle and leisure brands. “The response to the new-look Sydney International On-Water Boat Show has vindicated our decision to move the event to November for better weather,” says Smith. “It’s exciting to see leading Australian brands on board, showcasing the strength of our boating industry and lifestyle.”

There will be an array of high-end vessels on the purpose-built marina in Cockle Bay from luxury motor yachts and sailing vessels to cutting-edge marine technology. An expanded footprint across Palm Grove, Tumbalong Boulevard, and Tumbalong Park will also deliver gourmet food and wine, interactive activations, roving performers, and live entertainment. Whether you’re a seasoned skipper, weekend explorer, or simply drawn to the marine lifestyle, the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show celebrates everything there is to love about life on the water.
