Set to run in the glamorous Australia yacht charter destination – Sydney, this year’s Sydney International Boat Show will open to the public at 10AM tomorrow, on Thursday, July 31, simultaneously launching at dual venues at Darling Harbour and at the Sydney Exhibition Centre @ Glebe Island. Both venues are filled to capacity with everything the Australian ‘boatie’ could wish for.

At Darling Harbour, the purpose built marina is currently home to more than 150 of the most prestigious and exciting vessels available today. Many on display are being seen for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere.

At the Sydney Exhibition Centre @ Glebe Island, exhibitors are making good use of this new facility, packed full of new products and marine innovations spread across the 24,800 square metre location.

Visitors heading for the show can purchase tickets online, at Darling Harbour or at the Exhibition Centre. A free ferry service is available for transport to and from the Sydney Exhibition Centre @ Glebe Island, and free shuttle buses operate from Central to the Sydney Exhibition Centre all day. Parking at Glebe Island is available but must be pre-booked via the show’s website

As well as seeing all the latest and greatest from the world of boating, visitors can also enter the free draw for $7,800 worth of boat storage being given away everyday of the show. There’s also a fund raising raffle for sailors with disabilities, the prize being a Hanse 345 yacht that comes ready to sail with 12 months Club Marine insurance, a total prize value over $250,000.
