My husband and I come to the boat show every year. We stay in Toronto and make a weekend of it. Outside of summer weekends on our own boat, it is one of our favorite weekends all year. We love going on all of the show boats and meeting other boaters. Looking forward to this years show!

Great show

This type of show brings not only the sportsperson together with boaters alike but also all of the manufacturers creating an event instead of a just shopping atmosphere. Things that are a "must see" and new and exciting product that gets put on Santa's list for years to come. Where else can you see sport, luxury and have fun doing it. Brad

Every year my husband Roy looks forward to the boat show....being a designer of our tiny house boat named Dianne'Rose, he named after me because he said because I don't like sailing he had to come up with something comfortable for me to go out in and enjoy all the wonders of our beautiful lakes. We enjoy the Toronto Boat Show, it's great seeing all the great boats, vendors and enjoying all the entertainment. Thank you for putting on a wonderful boat show every year. Would also love to surprise my husband with free tickets. Best Dianne. By the way! My husband did design and build the sail boat....LoLol.😉

We have been going to the Detroit boat show for years. For some reason we never traveled to the Toronto boat show, until last year. We traveled from Leamington which was well worth the 3 to 4hr trip. We had no idea how much there was to see and do. It well exceeded our expectations. The venue was way larger than we thought. We stayed at Hotel X across the street which was not only convenient but beautiful as well. The boat exhibits had everything from small fishing boats to cruisers and everything in between. My wife was surprised by how much there was to browse for the cottage as well. This year we have invited friends from Georgia to attend with us, and we plan to make this an annual event. Looking forward to this years show! Well done.

We just love taking the family to the TIBS every year. There's something for everyone, from great cooking tips for the galley crew, to fun activities for kids. Seeing all the new products that make boating such a fun part of summer life and being able to speak directly to vendors and other boaters about practical application is a great way to prepare for the upcoming season! And there's usually some great deals to be had for the budget conscious boating family. Don't miss it!

The Toronto Boat Show is one of my winter highlights I try to get to every year. Its generally a good value show and I almost always buy something for my boat. I sail and race a 28 foot small yacht in Toronto for past twenty five years, and one of the best areas of the show is the annual preview of new sailboats. The sailboat showcase is also one of the worst parts of the event. Its far too small! Where are all the sailboat builders? Surely in Canada there is a larger sailing industry than is represented at the show? I love powerboats too and grew up powerboating and racing, but having more sailboats and gear in the Toronto Boat Show must become a bigger priority. All in all a good event and well worth attending. Just needs more sailing!

Me and my wife went 2 years ago from windsor had an awesome time very well organized had a fish sandwich on the way out would love to go again.

I purchased my new 90 HP Merc 4 stroke soon after I spoke to the Merc dealers at the Boat show. They answered all my questions, next I went over to the cottage boat section and enquired about trailers and 18 foot bow riders I felt informed then made my selection. I ordered it brand new from the Tempest dealer called Boat Land 4177 highway 115 Orono Canada the dealer called when the boat arrived it was still on the assembly line. I drove down received the dealer delivery information took the 407 home and had it in the water before dinner. Next I placed my other boat for sale on Kijiji this way little time from the boating season was lost. By the way I used my Visa card to pay the dealer it could not have been easier. Jim Laliberte Kincardine. Win Win experience.

If you enjoy the outdoor and cottage lifestyle then the boat show is a great place to be. I alway enjoy the luxury yachts and new gadgets i didn't realize I needed. Usually some fairly decent deals to be found as well.
