As sailors, we look forward to the boat show every year because it helps to take our minds off of the long, cold and dreary winter and gives us something positive to look forward to. You can always feel the energy of the other sailing/boating/kayaking/canoeing enthusiasts buzzing around the place purchasing items and taking part in some of the speaker events. It's also nice because we often run into other sailors and power boaters from our club or other clubs we have met along the way and it's nice to catch up in the same environment that we are used to seeing them. We already have the date on our calendar - can hardly wait until the 2020 Toronto Boat Show! <3

I attend every year and love having a bit of summer in the middle of a tough Toronto winter. This year it will be a dinghy replacement and some new electronics. Looking forward to going!

The Toronto boat is a great opportunity to see what’s new for the upcoming boating season. It also provides you with the option of replacing or improving equipment for your boat. Some solid advice is always available from the fenders. I think my highlight of the show though is the chance of meeting up with fellow boaters and catching up with old friends. The boat show is a great way to escape the winter if only for a few hours in January.

For the past 28 years, my wife & I have always enjoyed attending the Toronto Boat Show to search for accessories for our boat. there is always knowledgeable vendors exhibiting who are able to provide answers to our questions. It's a great weekend to forget about the cold winter outside and dream about the summer to come!! See you all there! Steve

I have attended the Toronto International Boat Show for many years and enjoyed seeing the variety of boats from 14 ft Tinnies to dreamy yachts. However last year was my most enjoyable show. I participated in the first Women's Day Boating Conference. This extremely well-organized event (and awesome prizes!) connected women from all over the world who have amazing experiences to share from sailing the Atlantic, living on a boat (cruisers and sailboats), maintaining a boat, driving a boat and backing up a trailer! The workshops were incredibly informative and the fee was reasonable. I can't wait to attend in the Show in 2020!

Have been going for 15+ years. Enjoy seeing the new boats and what is trending. Great opportunity to meet with the manufacturers reps and discuss new products. Always like to browse around with all the chandleries and pick up good deals.

I love walking around to see all the new models of ski/wakeboard boats and the innovative extras they design into making the boating experience more pleasurable for passengers, drivers and skiers. I can't wait to see the newly designed Ski Nautique with adjustable wake plates so there is no hump at whatever ski length you ski on. Can't wait!

I enjoy going to the boat show every year. Very interested in seeing the latest and greatest in not only bots, but technology and accessories as well.

We have been going to the Toronto boat show as a family for many many years. My kids love to tour the massive yachts, watch the wake board demos and have even tried out some water toys on the indoor lake. They loved fishing when they were little and now they are all about purchasing the next cottage toy from the marketplace. My husband and I are always on the lookout for our next boat/personal watercraft and find it very convenient to have all the suppliers in one place. I look forward to some fun family time every year!!

Loved seeing and being able to navigate the many different makes of jet and wakeboats. Finding things were easy and there is a lot of things to see.
