Always a good time

Look forward to this every year. Great to spend some time around boats in the depths of the winter, see what's new for the upcoming season, and find some good deals too.

Toronto International Boat Show

My trips to the boat show have been pretty much to see the boats or buy a boat. The show is fantastic because the latest in boats, motors and accessories are on display. It turns out to be the most aggressive sales event of the year as dealers and manufacturers are vying for the opportunity to sell you a unit. Also the trade in values have been tremendous. Sight unseen with just a couple of pictures and a description of the trade have led to excellent trade in values and super deals as a result. The opportunity to discuss the latest in advancements in outboards with dealers and manufacturers has made the choice for the consumer that much easier. And the discounts available are hard to turn down. We boat owners have become more and more conscious of what our motors are doing to the environment through exhaust into the air and water. As well, noise pollution has become a big issue with some lake associations wanting to apply maximum noise restrictions to water toys. As a result, we are finding it very easy to determine which power units will fill the bill, for the best buck!. Congratulations to the show organizers for being able continuously over the years to present the widest of choices in water craft to the consumers attending the show. Two thumbs up!!

Just the event for when you're missing the water!

We always love coming down to the Boat Show. It's cool to check out some of those big beautiful cruisers that we can (maybe) one day afford, and we always run into some marina friends who we are missing through the cold winter months. On top of that there are the great deals on many things we are looking to replace or add to our equipment, and we always end up with some new ideas on maintenance, or just on how to better enjoy our boating life. All that, a a few cool seminars to round out the day. Well worth it!

Why I love the Boat Show!

My husband and I have been attending the boat show every year for quite some time! We start looking forward to it 6 months before hand. As the show happens in January, it is a very nice way to break up the Winter and give yourself some summer vibes. The venue itself is rather impressive - architecturally speaking as well as it is very clean. It’s a nice environment to spend the day in. For us, the highlight of the show is seeing inside the boats, shopping the nautical section, and viewing the live action on the water rink. I heard the performing squirrel is coming back this year! If you get hungry, there are food stands and a spot to sit down. It’s nice to be around other folks who also like boats and nautical life - it’s a good place to chat and make new friends with common interests. I should mention that I’m in my 20s - so there is a nice age range of people who enjoy this show. We definitely will continue to come back every year!

A little summer in your winter

We're think of The Toronto Boat Show os a tradition. We always like to make a weekend of it and spend some time with friends, and we certainly make the 3 hr. drive to do so. We know many of the vendors and always check in on them to see how it's going. Last year it was all about docking and dock building materials, and we were able to get everything we needed to complete the project in the spring. This year... Who knows? Maybe a new...

Great Show

I have been going to the Toronto International Boat Show for 14 years. Every year they have the lastest boats and marine technology on show. It's a great event and can't wait to go in 2020.

Favourite Winter Activity

We have been travelling to the Toronto Boat Show for over 30 years, weather permitting. It was always a highlight of the winter for us. In the early years we went to see the latest in water skiing boats and to buy water skiing equipment. We also enjoyed meeting technical reps from the manufacturers and discussing the evolution of the outboard motors and personal watercraft.
