The show is the same every year..lost its luster. Large vessel visitors don't seem to be very inviting.. Not sure of recommendation...different sports....vehicles....snow vehicle's??? No longer interested in going.

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.

We LIVE for the Boat Show!!

We love going to the Boat Show every year. Being out of town, we take advantage of the Platinum tickets and make a weekend in the city out of it. We love going on the Friday night to tour the boats without so much of the crowd. The music, drinks, and buffet make it such an enjoyable night. After being landlocked for so many months by the time January rolls around, we're able to live our boat life for a short time in the middle of winter. My S.O. loves the new technologies and advancements of the brands, while I love to shop accessories. We start a Boat Show fund as soon as we winterize to prepare our bank accounts for all our nautical purchases. We can't wait for the 2020 Boat Show and are already making our plans for our "Winter Weekend of Boating"!!!!!

46 years of Boat Shows!

Been going to these shows since I was 15! I have seen many trends come and go but the show is a ray of sunshine during the coldest part of winter and it gives us all hope that summer is around the corner. The smell of the fibreglass, the antique boats as well take us back to a simpler time. Seeing old friends and making and outing of the show makes for the best thing to look forward to since Christmas, I look forward to it even mote than that!

Boat Show

Great way to “kick the tires” so to speak, and see the the boats in one location. I was able to get a greater deal in a boat at the show. Plus there’s all the boat accessories to see as well.

It's All There!

My husband and I love attending the boat show. We own a sailboat, and are always looking for gadgets to add onto it, to make sailing even more enjoyable. The boat show has everything one could wish for! This time, we hope to pick up a solar panel to charge our batteries. See you there!

Love the great selection of boats and accessories, all in one place. The shows at the "Lake" are very good and the selections in Cottage country are always excellent.

Great Winter Fun

My wife and I have been coming to the Toronto Boat show for many years. It’s a great way to get away from the winter blah’s, with lots of things to see and do which make out minds move to the warm summer months. It’s the best time and place to buy a boat, but even if you are not shopping for a boat there are many exhibits and shows for the whole family to enjoy. It’s always a highlight of our January!

Best way to keep boating year round

Our family has been visiting The Toronto Boat Show consecutively for 26 years. It is a great outing to meet boating friends and keep informed of advances in all things boats! We love visiting all the vendors and make several purchases every year. GO TORONTO BOAT SHOW
