The inaugural Australian International Boat Show will be staged at ICC Sydney and Cockle Bay Marina in Darling Harbour from Thursday 29 July to Sunday 1 August 2027.
Sydney’s Darling Harbour will welcome a major new marine event in 2027, with the inaugural Australian International Boat Show to be staged from Thursday 29 July to Sunday 1 August.
Presented by Informa, the Show will occupy both ICC Sydney and Cockle Bay Marina, creating a combined indoor and on-water showcase. ICC Sydney will accommodate a broad range of recreational boating products and services, including boats, engines, equipment, technology, accessories and lifestyle offerings, while Cockle Bay will provide the setting for larger vessel displays.
Backed by Informa’s international marine portfolio
The event will draw on Informa’s extensive international marine portfolio, which includes the Monaco Yacht Show, Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, Palm Beach International Boat Show, Newport International Boat Show, St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show and the Windy City Boat & Yacht Show in Chicago.
This international event expertise will be combined with local industry knowledge and an ambition to create a contemporary showcase representing the full spectrum and diversity of recreational boating. The Australian organising team will also be supported by Informa’s international network, providing access to global experience, industry relationships and learnings from some of the world’s most established marine events.
A showcase for owners, newcomers and international visitors
While the Australian boating consumer will remain central to the Show, organisers expect the event’s Darling Harbour location, product diversity and international profile to attract a significant contingent of interstate and overseas visitors. The exhibition will combine recreational and commercial displays with boating education, demonstrations and entertainment, creating an event designed to inform, inspire and welcome both experienced owners and those entering the boating lifestyle.
A strong superyacht and large-yacht presence will form an important part of the on-water program. Superyacht Australia is among the marine industry associations supporting the new event and is working with organisers to help develop quality displays and representation for the sector.
The inaugural Show represents an opportunity to connect Australian marine businesses with consumers, industry professionals and international visitors in one of the world’s most recognisable harbour cities.
