Summer Dreams

Always enjoy the show as it breaks up the winter with new ideas for the next season of boating. Shopping thru all the accessories for to get ready for summer. Also like looking at all the new boats never know if you want to purchase or make your boat more up to date. It’s always interesting to see the design changes in boat building over the years. Can’t wait to attend this year and check everything out

Ms.

The boat show is a great place for new boaters to look at an assortment of boats big and small. Your options are many and it's the right place to discuss what would be best for yourself. It gives a great place to discuss with seasoned boaters all the little things that are needed when boating in all kinds of weather conditions. And the selection of accessories is amazing to view. Also a great time to help with boating withdrawal .

The kids just love it (and the adults too)

At the Boat Show it really does feel like summer! The timing is perfect in the middle of January, just the right time to make you feel that summer’s not to far away and you’ll be back on the water in no time. The kids love the indoor lake and especially love the boat rides and the water ski and wakeboard show. We spend about half our time at the lake and then the other half checking out the cool yachts. It’s become a yearly family tradition!

Indoor Lake

Besides checking out boats that may be of interest, the indoor lake is always a nice visit. It really provides a touch of summer...in January.

Toronto boat review

In the early stages of the TBS there was a lot of excitement, great boats, great auction, great food and entertainment. It inspired a lot of us would be goers to just go because the social and boater camaraderie was amazing. Year over year the decline of interest on the part of vendors and the change in value for money has affected many of us Willing to pay the full tilt to get a spot on opening night and a few visits thereafter for one price. Value lost and interest not where it was but I hear this from many of our boater friends and those considering. May be time to turn back time

It’s a great venue to see what’s new on the market for the boating industry And see some I& the changes in boat designs. It’s good to feel summer even if it’s onky for a few short hrs

Excited to shop!

My wife and I have been fans of boating for many years and have had older used boats, never new. But we've decided to look into buying a brand new boat specific to our needs that'll last for many years. So much has changed with so many new features and options. So this is less of a review of the Boat Show (because we've never been) and more of a statement of interest and excitement of what we'll see there. We have a few ideas of what we want, we've researched selected makes and models, and we're hoping the Boat Show will narrow down the choices and help us make a purchase that will make us proud. Can't wait for January (I'll bet boaters in Canada don't say that too often LOL) and looking forward to the event!

Love “cottage country”

The boat show is always so much fun. The vendors are great, and it’s always a learning opportunity about what’s new on the market. Also the “old faithful” products that make the show a necessary visit to pick up your products (with opening the cottage in mind). This is always inspiring in the midst of COLD, snowy January because hope for spring emerges. And then you get to sit down, have a drink in cottage country and reconnect with some friends who you haven’t seen for awhile. Every year I meet up with “my cottage buddies” here and you know it’s just a few short months away till the “boat’s in the water”! ⚓️
