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 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"!!!!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

I have attended this annual show regularly for many years. If you are a summer recreation enthusiast, you must also attend!! Whether you are a cottage boater, cruiser, dreamer or landlubber, there is so much to peak your interest and motivate you to seek the optimum work/life balance you deserve. There are so many vendors and service providers from all walks of recreational life. It is not just boats!! Cottage owners, Ontario weekenders or info gatherers will all get their fill of opportunities available. You want free objective advice? You need to attend!! The environment is friendly, helpful and you can easily sense the feeling of community among attendees and exhibitors. I switched from a 38 foot Sea Ray boater to a cottage owner five years ago. There is as much at the show for cottage owners as there is for boaters. Don’t miss this experience, it is an outstanding way to spend a day...or two!!

Love all the accessories gadgets and gizmos for the boat!! Hate that the boats on display get closed to see because they are sold??? I get it but the boat has been discounted for the show and therefore should be seen all week!!! Two years in a row we have not been able to see the step up from our boat for this reason. We may have to buy a different brand!!!
