A taste of summer in the middle of winter

I try to make it to the boat show every year, whether I am in the market for anything for my boat or not. It is an incredible shot in the arm of summertime fun just when I need it most. It is relaxing just sitting by the lake and watch the wakeboarders, kayakers and paddle boarders all the while marvelling at how the largest indoor lake was created. Almost always I come up with some accessory that I end up buying to take home. For the last couple of years, a bunch of us from our marina have made it a group outing to make it down to the show. The Toronto International Boat Show is a regular part of my boating season

Big kid in candy store

We really enjoy the Toronto boat do to the variety of boats and accessories. There’s something for everyone and we look forward to seeing all the great displays. It’s great to look at the boats without pushy sales people bothering you looking for a sale. Just the right combo of being there to answer questions but not being a pain lol. Can’t wait for January to get here. Brent and Andrea

Best show ever

For years we have been going to the Toronto Boat show. We always plan our schedule around it. Once we bought our cottage it became an annual family event. We love seeing everything new for the upcoming season. We bought our boat and dock from the show. Fingers crossed, we’ll be buying a Seadoo this year. Can’t wait for January 17!!

Winter Break

We make this a yearly weekend excursion, stay at the Sheraton with a group of friends, shopping, dinner, skating at City Hall and Boat Show. Always a great show...many exhibits to check out. This year we are interested in purchasing a new boat. See you there!!

Love this show!!

Dreamers, tire (keel?) kickers, buyers all treated with the same respect and enthusiasm. Been going to the show as long as I can remember. Each year brings back the favourite vendors as well as new and exciting ones. You can literally get anything you could ever want for your boat and water based lifestyle. Of course my favorite part is going aboard the higher end vessels and dreaming of the season to come. Can't wait for the 2020 show!

Great show for the whole family

Every year our kids look forward to coming to the Toronto boat show. There is so much for them to see and do and so many great things for us to browse to add to our sailboat. One of our favourite things to do is talk to the experts in the discover boating area who are always filled with great knowledge and help us make decisions on how to best fix things on our boat. Our kids' favourite things to do are seeing the Twiggy show and of course wake fest. See you in January!

Greatest boating social of the winter

Every year our boat house community, based at Long Point on Lake Erie, look forward to the Toronto international boat show. As boating is a magnificent part of our summer life in Canada we have built great relationships with our boating friends and community. The Toronto international boat show is a yearly gathering that brings us together to revitalize and celebrate our summer ambitions for the future. It is more than just a great place to find and purchase fantastic products and services for your boating needs. It provides a perfect back drop to once again socialize with your summer lake family (boating friends). The boat show is a well deserved brake allowing you, to for a short time, forget the long, cold, dark off season. In short the Toronto International Boat Show is a touch stone for Ontario and surrounding areas. It provides a source of services whether it be for professional information, purchases, research, social enjoyment or relationship building. We look forward to spending a weekend in Toronto ever year just to take in this wonderful gathering of marine exhibitors.

Toronto Boat Show

Last year due to vacation, we miss the Boat Show. This year we are looking forward to celebrating my birthday at the show as we had in previous years. We will be purchasing many items for our sailboat that we have not been able to purchase at stores and we not confident in catalog shopping. We like to have the suppliers expertise. We are hoping and looking forward to a wonderful fish dinner from Henry’s. So please tell me the booth will still be attending the show. Sara
