Had a great time at the show last year. Was able to see many different models of boats and accessories all at one place. Got me really excited for the next beating season.

I ‘be always liked going to the boat show. For me being able to see and walk around brand new boats is only part of the attraction. As a cottage owner I appreciate the concentration of services and businesses selling gear that could be neat or useful for the upcoming season. And most will offer boat show discounts as well. I wouldn’t miss it.

What else can you ask for? A hockey rink converted to a lake in Toronto - in January!! Tons of boats, all the new gear, travel ideas for boaters and there's always an item or two I forgot to pick up last time. Great family fun!

Lost of fun and perfect for the family. even if your not looking to buy its perfect fun and entertainment for the whole family. Kids loved the indoor pool shows and lots of boats to tour. Went 3 years ago and hoping to get a change to go again.

The Toronto International Boat Show is a great place for the whole family to spend one or two days. Lots of great boats to see (big and small) … informative seminars, and tons of exhibitors to buy all your boating needs from. I, particularly, love crawling around the big yachts (power and sail). I also love picking up new sailing gear (at great prices) for the upcoming sailing season. Come one, come all!

Every year we love going to the show and amaze at the unbelievable boats we will never afford. The one opportunity to see how the other half live. Its amazing to dream. If you have never been I recommend checking it out... it's a great getaway on a weekend... you wont be disappointed.

This is the overall best showing of all types of boats and boating equipment anywhere. Anyone with an interest in boating needs to attend this event.

This show is a favourite for us and our kids! The venue is huge allowing us to check out the latest hardware and gear under one roof.

Have never been, but as my wife and I are looking to purchase a boat this coming new year, we were hoping to attend. Besides, we love Toronto. :-)

The Toronto Boat Show has been an annual event in our family for a very long time. It started with me as a young boy going with my family and the tradition continues today with me taking my children. For me it all started with the entire family jumping in the old family station wagon making the trip to the show and knowing we arrived when I saw the grand entrance gates to Exhibition Place and then the smell of the roasted chestnuts from the street vendors just outside the doors. Once inside it was grand place where we could explore all the boats which ultimately lead to a family vote on which boat we should get. From the kids perspective, decisions were solely made on which cabins would make the best forts and who got the V-Berth or the Quarter berth and if lucky the aft cabin if one existed. I remember my parents buying our CS36 Traditional in 1982 and seeing these incredible boats on display at the show and subsequently going every weekend to the factory watching ours being built. If you were wondering, I ended up with the quarter birth and I was still ok with that. From the boats to the endless number of vendors from which we brought home many great finds we always enjoy this annual event. I would not do this review Justice if I did not mention the food, at least for my family the trip to the Boat Show is never complete unless we indulged in some boat show classics like the fudge, lemonade, ice cream dipped in chocolate and nuts and a shout out to Carmichael's as we always have to stop, sample and bring home that years favorite cured meat (usually done by vote again). Lastly and before we could call the trip complete we would have to make our way to the "little" pool to see if we could catch Twiggy. For all you regulars to the show you will know what I am talking about. Great family event and one that will continue in our family for years to come.
