Massive crowds enjoyed a spectacular 36th Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show with a record number of boats delivering an unsurpassed display of marine innovation, luxury and lifestyle.
“We’ve had an incredible 824 boats in total – 422 on water and 402 on land, an unrivalled display for our thousands of visitors and the biggest number ever for the Show,” said Corey Rattray-Wood, Head of Events at Mulpha Events.
This record-breaking figure represents an increase of almost 10% over last year’s Show.
This year’s SCIBS featured everything from next-gen marine technology to ultra-luxury yachts, thrilling visitors and delivering strong results for exhibitors.
Showstoppers included the revolutionary Candela C-8 — a 100% electric, 100% carbon hydrofoiling vessel from Carbon Yachts, drawing crowds at the J Pier luxury sea trial zone; the breathtaking debut of Pazienza, the multi-million-dollar Italian-built marvel from Cantiere delle Marche (CDM); $100 million in marine innovation from Horizon Yachts Australia; and a $50 million showcase from Riviera, which featured two global premieres.
Mr Rattray-Wood said exhibitor reports confirmed very strong sales and enthusiastic crowds over the four days of the Show and praised their unwavering commitment to excellence.
“Our exhibitors continue to invest in SCIBS as the number one show on the marine lifestyle calendar and the result is not only a win for them but for all of those who enjoy a truly elevated show experience across all segments.”
