Boat Show general manager Barry Jenkins said there are close to 200 boats on water with multi-million dollar super yachts, sail boats, luxury cruisers and sport fishing boats. If placed bow to stern, on-water displays would stretch close to 3km.
“On land, we’d estimate there would be hundreds of boats, water craft and marine craft,” Mr Jenkins said. “It’s the third highest exhibitor tally in the Show’s history.”

“There are 15 vessels in the Prestige Brokerage and Charter display ranging from around 15m to 30m,” said Mr Jenkins. “These impressive vessels make a handsome addition to the Show.”
A huge array of marine products are displayed including wakeboards, trailerable boats, jetskis kayaks, engines, marine electronics, marine finance, interior design, safety gear and marine business services. At least 111 marine products are released on the market at Sanctuary Cove including 23 world releases.

“We know international exhibitors or buyers are coming from United States, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Korea, the Netherlands, the Philippines and Malaysia, to name a few countries,” Mr Jenkins said.
“This year we also have a contingent of Italian marine companies exhibiting as a national presence in C pavilion for the first time,” he said.
“It is very difficult to put a figure on the value of these displays. Certainly the combined marine displays at the Show would top some hundreds of millions of dollars. Some vessels alone are worth millions of dollars. “

Preparations were without mishap, unlike the accident in which a multimillion dollar yacht was destroyed in seconds last year.
