About the Show

This spring, the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show makes its spectacular return to Darling Harbour — and it’s set to be bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking than ever!

Join us for four unforgettable days and nights as one of the Pacific’s premier marine lifestyle events transforms Sydney’s iconic waterfront into a vibrant playground of adventure and innovation.

From power cruisers and sailboats to cutting-edge marine tech, the 56th edition of the show is your chance to explore the best in boating and life on the water. Wander the purpose-built marina on Cockle Bay, get hands-on with the latest gear, and soak up a dynamic lineup of entertainment, activations, and onshore experiences along the buzzing Darling Harbour foreshore.

Whether you’re a seasoned skipper, weekend explorer, or simply drawn to the marine lifestyle, the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show is the ultimate celebration of everything you love about life by the water.
