Boat show

Every year the boat show is the show that gets us excited for the season to come. Takes away the winter blues. We plan the weekend and meet friends and make a day of it or more. The boats and accessories on display are second to none. Prices are great so cannot wait for 2020 show.

Sailing in a Winter Wonderland

Always a traditional treat to feel the warmth of summer sailing ⛵️ in the great white frigid north. Yes always something old as we easily navigate our way through the myriad of displays yet always something new. Enjoying the annual event each year is also an inside job of ones own participation, browsing, buying is an automatic human trait. Participating at any event is an inside job, asking questions of personal interest, looking yes but also learning whether a new product, learning about canal transits, keeping abreast of up to date marine regulations, benefits of different yachting clubs and marinas. Public relations should never be overlooked, never forget the customer. Truly wish there were more sailboats in the midrange of 26 to30 feet but then our Canadian builders are an extinct breed. To the organizers be creative in bringing new innovative ideas to each annual event. See you in January. Oh yes cost of living usually goes in one direction. Any chance pricing could lie dormant just like our craft do during our long cold winter. Now back to channel 16 and standing by until the Big show gets underway.

Women's Day Rocks!

I have been attending the TBS for about 35 years, but last year when they introduced Women's Day i was all in; and what a great day it was! Fun, food, informative, affordable and there were prizes at the end. As soon as they announced it for the 2020 show I booked right away and told all of my gal pals. This is a must-see event for women boaters.

Review of 2018 Toronto Boat Show

Always a pleasure to attend the boat show the layout is generally the same from year to year making it very easy for persons to locate specific items in the shopping list. The management team is listening to it patrons I see the food service has improved considerably over the last three years. Sad to see however that there are less companies coming to the boat show to demonstrate the capabilities they have. Always looking forward to this midwinter outing each year

We have been going to the Boat Show for many years and have purchased three boats as well as many other things we did not know we needed! Now the Grandchildren are excited to be involved. Soon after we close the cottage they start asking:”When's the Boat Show?” There is something for every age and you definitely do not need to own a boat to enjoy the show!

Love the Boat Show!!!!

Ever since i was a little girl my family and i would always make the annually excursion to the boat show and never would miss one. Such a fun event for families as well as couples. It gives you a chance to begin dreaming about owning a boat, or gives you the chance to purchase a boat that's sitting right in front of you rather than in a catalog. The vendors are always so friendly and interesting, and i never leave without being satisfied and joyful. Overall a wonderful experience that is accessible for everyone and full access by car, go train, and TTC. Highly recommend the Toronto International Boat Show to everyone.

The Greatest Boat Show Ever

I love every aspect of the Toronto International Boat Show. If I had to narrow it down to one thing it would be browsing the new boats, power and sail. All the new designs and incorporated technology never cease to amaze me. The shiny pristine hulls and super structures certainly attract the eyes too. The Boat Show is one not to miss.
