Nautilus Marine Insurance is proud to be partnering with New Zealand’s most influential marine event, the Auckland Boat Show, which will return to Auckland’s waterfront from 1–4 April 2027. Set amidst marinas and restaurants and on the edge of the famous Waitemāta Harbour, this industry-owned show will kick off the New Zealand and Australian boat show season with a bang.

“The Auckland Boat Show is created by the industry, for the industry,” says NZ Marine Boat Show Manager Stacey Cook. “It brings together every part of New Zealand’s recreational marine sector in one place. The quality of the exhibitors, the unique on-water format and our central Auckland location continue to set the show apart. We are pleased to announce Nautilus Marine Insurance as the Auckland Boat Show’s Official Insurance Partner. We’re very excited to welcome Nautilus Marine Insurance to our Boat Show family and are looking forward to working with the team.”

The Auckland Boat Show showcases the full breadth of New Zealand’s recreational marine industry, from entry-level trailer boats and marine equipment through to luxury custom-built yachts. Its on-water format allows prospective buyers to compare vessels, experience them on the water through sea trials and speak directly with designers, builders, manufacturers and suppliers. The 25th anniversary event, held in March 2026, was a strong success with more than 164 exhibitors showcasing over 500 brands and visitors enjoying 1,220 sea trials.

“We’re committed to building on that success in 2027,” says Cook. “Visitors can once again look forward to our popular Seminar Series, the Women in Marine event and an unrivalled range of on-water displays that make the Auckland Boat Show a standout experience.”
