Adding, "We are really grateful to everyone that has got on-board and supported this event. There's a boat show starved community out there, and a huge appetite for leisure, lifestyle and boating. We are anticipating a great return to boat shows and are really looking forward to delivering this show".
The event will run over four spectacular days, from Thursday 20 Oct, 3pm-7pm, Friday 21 Oct and Saturday 22 Oct, 10am-7pm through to Sunday 23 Oct, 10am-4pm.
