Summertime in Mid-Winter!

You can't beat a HUGE boat show, all sorts of summertime accessories for sale in another connected building and a indoor lake in the hockey arena! Water Skiing, wakeboarding, remote control boat races and other entertainment all being held at the indoor lake. Its a fantastic way for families and others to enjoy a weekend in the winter.

Toronto Rocks the Boat show

For years we have attended the Toronto Boat show and every year there is something different to see. The time of year is a perfect time to reunite with Marina friends, compare which yachts we viewed and join up for lunch at the Food Truck court. We watch the wakeboard shows every year and learn at the fishing demos. Our favorite part is shopping for accessories for our 34' Four Winns and last year we bought a dingy. We bring a shopping list every year! Thank you Toronto for hosting such an incredible event.

Newbie to the show

This will be my first time going to the Boat Show. I am currently in need to replace my current boat so I am hoping for a great deal on an Deck Boat or Pontoon Boat.

WHAT A SHOW!

Every year right after the holidays we wait in anticipation for The Boat show to begin. We go every year and enjoy seeing the new boats and accessories that our on display at the show. This year we are looking for a fishing boat and are also looking forward to exploring the events and catching up with folks that we know from from our area. It has always been a great couple of days in the city.

Private

Toronto International Boat Show is a mixed bag. Given that the show has no significant in-water component there is obviously a limit to what can be shown. The equipment and accessory part of the show is robust and extensive. it will definitely fulfill the needs and wants of boat owners who would like to add or upgrade equipment. The small powerboat section is equally substantial with a wide selection of small to mid-size lake going powerboats. The selection of small sailboats is quite limited which is surprising for a like-side, indoors location which lends itself to this kind of audience. Another category in short supply, which is almost understandable for bot the time of year and location, is large boats both power and sailboats over 30 feet. In short. Unless you are after large blue-water boats you will not be disappointed

Love it

My husband and I have attended the boat show numerous times and loved it. He is a marine technician, he loves checking out the new models, the engines and, all the different options that are offered. Now me, I love touring the new models and dreaming of which boat I will purchase when I win the lottery lol. My husband has been a marine technician for over 30 years and, has been around boats for most of his adult life, this prize would put him over the moon. We look forward to going back and, wish you success for the 2020 show. Thank you for this opportunity to win a great prize

One stop shopping....

Always enjoy attending the annual Boat Show. This past year there were more models to walk in and tour - which allowed us to really feel and understand the boats we were looking at. In the end we ended up deciding on a slightly smaller boat but with a much better designed interior (fit & finishes). By being able to see in person such variety allowed us to compare and know what we really wanted! We also are considering a sailboat for the first time based on the sailboats we unexpectedly toured and the conversations we had with the exhibitors and fellow sailors. Of course, we also stocked upon new life vests, paddles and cottage supplies!

Can't wait!

I bought my sailboat in Canada a few years ago, bringing her back to the U.S. I always look forward to the Boat Show in Toronto, and this year hope to find both further inspiration and information about my anticipated sailing trip this summer through the North Channel. Toronto's a great city and hosts a truly wonderful boat show, for both power and sail.
