2022 kicks off with the inaugural Discover Boating Showcase in February, and then, the eagerly awaited, much anticipated 60th Melbourne Boat Show in June.

Join the industry's best and brightest. Book a site and connect face-to-face with customers; those new to boating, those looking to re-discover boating, and experienced boaters. There'll be something for everyone. You will not want to miss this!

The demand for boats, boating and the boating lifestyle is at unprecedented levels and the 2022 Shows have the potential to be Victoria's best ever. Other boat shows in Perth, Sanctuary Cove, and Auckland, as well as the 4x4 and Caravan Shows, have seen record crowds and great results for exhibitors.
