Discover Boating Showcase Cancelled

Despite all of our best efforts we’ve reached the difficult decision not to go ahead with the Discover Boating Showcase in April.

Whilst there is great confidence in, and support for the concept of boutique boat show events, with on-water activation, and immersions into the boating lifestyle, in this instance, the timing is just not quite right.

Exhibitors wanting to take part have come to their own realisation that they just do not have the stock and/or required sales pipeline, and therefore cannot attend. This has left the event without the critical mass to make it a success for exhibitors, organisers and most importantly, visitors.

We thank all BIAV members for their commitment to the event, and to the Discover Boating Showcase concept.

The good news, however, is ‘watch this space’ with regard to the Melbourne Boat Show happening later in 2022. Planning is underway for a spectacular new venue with space for bigger boats, a wider variety of boats, on-water activations, as well as a great celebration of the boating lifestyle. It’s going to be reinvigorated and definitely Bigger, Better, and Boatier than before.

More details and an announcement will come your way very soon.
