"Visitors are invited to soak up a renewed experience with plenty of activities to enjoy, even before entering the exhibition centre. While Cockle Bay will be filled with a prestigious range of sail boats, motor yachts and cruisers, the foreshore itself will host the Discover Sailing & Paddling Hub including an entertainment stage and activations. The Show will also play host to a variety of exciting global, Asia-Pacific and Australian premieres and product launches," Mr Smith said.

"The popular fishing clinics and giant fishing demo tank will return, and visitors can learn all the tips and tricks from Australia's foremost fishing experts, including show Ambassadors - Paul Burt (7News Coast Expert & Host of Step Outside with Paul Burt) and Andrew 'ET' Ettingshausen (Host of Channel 10's Escape Fishing with ET).

"For those that prefer being powered by the wind, the Show is excited to highlight the many facets of sailing, covering all things from the modest dinghy to the speedy catamaran. Visitors are invited to learn about the sailing opportunities offered within Sydney and the surrounding waterways," he said.

The 2024 Sydney International Boat Show is presented by the Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) and its event delivery partner Mulpha Events, and proudly supported by Partner in Safety - Transport for NSW, along with official event partners Walcon Marine and new for 2024, Century Batteries and GMSV.
