The Sydney Boat Show is set to make a splash at its new indoor venue, Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park, from 14 to 17 August 2025, with a number of Australian, Asia-Pacific and international debuts scheduled across the four-days.
The Show will deliver the ultimate boating and fishing lifestyle experience all under one roof. With more than 21,000m² of indoor exhibition space and extended footprint into Riverina Ave, the Show will showcase the latest in trailerable boats, personal watercraft, marine technology, fishing gear, and on-water accessories.
Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) President, Adam Smith, said the Sydney Boat Show will be more than just a boat show, offering a valuable and dynamic platform for a wide range of new product launches and premieres.
“The Sydney Boat Show will be much more than a place to see boats – it’s a hub for discovery, innovation and connection. It is where you can find all of the latest in marine innovation under one roof, including products that haven’t even hit the global market yet,” Smith said.
“Whether you’re upgrading your vessel, exploring the latest in marine technology, or simply soaking in the boating lifestyle, you’ll find it all at the Show,” he said.
With indoor exhibition space for 2025 sold-out, the Show will provide a powerful platform for brands and businesses to launch new products, build brand visibility, and connect with a highly engaged audience.
Mr Smith continues, “The opportunities and potential for brands is huge, it can be what sets them up for a successful year ahead. That is why we are seeing so many brands and businesses opting to launch their products at the Show. We’re excited and proud to host some of the most anticipated premieres right here in Sydney, Australia.”
Malibu Boats Australia spokesperson, Thorry Heaney said, “The Sydney Boat Show is the perfect platform to launch our new 2026 Malibu Wakesetter model. The Sydney Boat Show brings together passionate watersports enthusiasts, serious buyers, and industry leaders from across the country. It’s the ideal environment to showcase innovation and connect directly with people who live the Malibu Boats lifestyle.”
