Every Ontario boater knows how long and cold our winters are. Spring boat launch seems like a million weeks away. The Toronto Boat Show helps to beat those seasonal blues by providing indoor boating fun. Paddle a kayak. Watch a wakeboard show. Purchase your can of VC17. Grab a beaver tail. Ask an expert. Tour your dream yacht. Walk away with nautical swag. What's not to love?

Great seminars. Great presentations. Knowledgeable booth personnel. Great products. Good deals. Boats. What more could you ask for?

My husband & son enjoy checking out their "someday" boats, & the boating adventurer presentations ... & I enjoy the nautical clothes & decor items for sale. (I always find a dream boat for me too!)

My kids love this show, so much to keep their attention. Never miss it.

I was disappointed last year that the shuttle from the hotels stopped at noon and din not resume until the end of the show.

Love the show! the excitement, the boats, the salespeople that can always answer any question you have expertly. Lots to see and do for all ages.

There is so much to enjoy there, not sure where to start. My wife and I enjoy the seminars and really love the deals on accessories, also it gives us ideas of where to explore.

By January I’m really missing boating weekends. Spending time at the Boat Show is a great way to get that ‘on the water’ feeling in the dead of winter. Love walking the aisles to find the latest and greatest, from the mega yachts to the gadgets and accessories I’ll convince myself I need for the new season.

I like to look at the books and also the accessories exhibitors. Some of the sessions are pretty interesting as well. Having that event at the end of January makes us look forward to Spring, even it it is a few months away. Regards,

An absolute treat! I love attending every year with my family (and international visitors) to check out the stunning boats, live shows, merchandise and grabbing something to eat from the vendors. (The staff/performers are also very friendly and informative, which just adds on to the positive experience.) It's a great escape from the winter blues; a reminder that summer is just around the corner, along with its outdoor water activities. Looking forward to another fun and memorable experience at the TIBS this year!
