Always a great show to be at, love that it’s a place that many boaters and people in the industry can meet up and get over the hump, between the end of boating season and the start of a new season!

A great show to visit and the deals on boats and fishing equipment are incredible.

Our visit was the first time we had attended the boat show and we were blown away. As a new owner of a Bayfield 25 (1980 vintage) I was interested in information about things to make sailing solo easier - furlers, lazy jacks, and so on. We were also interested in sail modifications and so on. Vendors were great with advice and information whether they had the product or not. Of course, we needed new lifejackets and found Canadian made ones at great prices. Having sailed for a year with the boat, we have a better idea of what we need (did I mention furlers and lazy jacks?) and will likely make some serious purchases this year. Waiting impatiently for the show to begin.

Show is great but i dont think i ever bye another one from the show after the shit we gone threw on top of that we dont think it was same one we look at at the dealer.

I have now attended multiple shows over the years and they keep getting better. Gave me some education on my boat purchase. Provided information on what I should look for in a replacement dock. Where else do you get to talk to multiple vendors and look at their wares in the same day?? And the best part, my birthday is on the 26th so it is like a birthday party and presents to me every time I go. :-)

Toronto Boat Show is not to be missed... for everything boat related, water play and even cottage items! It’s fun to visit the new release boats, research your next purchase, there’s always a bargain on accessories, great workshops & talks and fun activities for the kids. Enjoy a bit of pre-summer fun right in the middle of winter and connect with fellow boaters on the off-season!

Went to the boat show for the first time in a while last year. Great place to go to shop for a boat as there are all major makes there which makes it easy for comparison. Also with the amount of representation there it’s easy to ask the same questions to different manufacturers making it easy to remember answers.

My husband and I attended the boat showl for several years as we were deciding on the boat we wanted to purchase. The Toronto boat show definetly provided everything we needed to make our decision. Being able to see so many different styles and manufacturers in the same location saved us hours of time. The expert advice and knowledge and the chance to actually get onboard and get the feel of each boat was wonderful. We made a purchase and we love our boat. Now we can attend the show as boat owners in search of the latest products to enhance our boating experience. Thank you.

I've been coming to the Toronto International Boat Show for years and it is an awesome event if you are at all interested in boating. I love coming to get great deals on boating accessories, clothing, equipment and to check out the new beautiful boats. Over the years, the focus of the show has shifted from sailboats to powerboats and other water craft, but it is still a great venue for buying associated products and seeing what is new. The last few years I have attended a few seminars and they have been outstanding. I will focus more on those this year- especially any seminar led by Pam Wall, a renown outfitter for those interested in offshore sailing. For die hard boaters, it is a welcome reprieve in January as we count down days til the spring launch!

Great place to get a little taste of summer just when I need it most!
