I have been attending the Toronto Boat show for over 20 years. Looking to buy a new boat doesn’t make any sense since they are more expensive than a house in the Bridal Path. I love the back part of the show where you can find all kind of goods for your boat, new tech gadgets etc. I prefer to go alone so I can wonder at my own will and find what I am interested in. I will be there in January, you will see me like the guy with a bag full of pamphlets. Cheers

I plan my day at TIBS around the seminar programs that particular day as well as the Boathouse presentations that appeal to me. The presenters are invariably well informed, articulate and entertaining I also like to inspect the annual crop of sailboats, looking for innovations in cockpit and cabin layout. I drop by my favourite retailers like the Rigging Shoppe and Nautical Mind, to mention just a few of the exhibitors, with an eye for their "show specials" and other discounts. I pick up literature like the latest MOT boating safety guide, Ontario marina association directory, update myself about the latest CHS charts/publications, and check out agencies concerned with our water environment. All of these are the waypoints along my TIBS itinerary.

I go every year it has everything in one place and seminars that provide valuable information a great show from beginning to end

We came to your show before we bought a sailboat. The help from the seminars, experts and product displays gave us the exact knowledge we needed. Honest help from seasoned sailors. We bought a 33 foot Hunter and had a great first season. Thank you!

My hubby and I go to numerous boat shows throughout the year. Toronto ranks in top 2! The Toronto boat show is not only a place to look for a new boat or accessories, but also to meet with friends, have a beer and talk about boats! Looking very forward to our visit in 2020!

Need a boat? Want a boat? Thinking about a boat? All your boating wants and needs, under one roof.

What a great way to spend a winters day dreaming for summer to hurry up. We enjoy viewing the newest in boating and accessories . Stopping buy the Yamaha site and talking with our favourite dealers at Fenlon Falls Marina is also a must during a day visit. Can never seem to leave without purchasing something for our boating adventures.

Everything you need or "want" is here ….. great one stop shopping

I and my wife have been coming to the boat show every year for over 40 years and we have visited other shows in Canada and by far this show outshines all others. This show offers everything to everybody in the boating or cottage life style. We have basically grew the size of our boat (footittis) by visiting the boat show and receiving advise from all makers to make our decisions. When we need something for our boat we say "lets wait for the Toronto boat show and we will have a wider variety to chose from. We also make the Toronto boat show a get away and a meeting place with all our boating partners from the Thousand Islands witch consist of people from Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston and Toronto . Keep it going Toronto Boat Show We all love you T. Doug Hubbard Kingston Ontario

A group of us go every year. There is always something new to see. Deals are everywhere. Been going for years and we look forward to it every year. We usually make a whole day of it but a weekend would be fabulous.
