A must-see event in Australia, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show annually attracts more than 47,000 visitors and offers exemplary opportunities to see captivating yachts for sale up close and make those all-important contacts.
Established in 1988, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is owned and presented by Mulpha Events and has grown to become a fundamental part of the local economy and often bears witness to regional debuts of superyachts for sale and an enticing social calendar.
Offering a seamless flow throughout the pontoons and a curated collection of relative exhibitors, visitors can browse an extensive collection of yachts of all shapes and sizes including sportfishers, flybridge yachts, and sports yachts.
Exploring the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show
Welcoming over 740 boats each year, visitors to the show can expect to see more than 300 exhibitors plus 2,500 marine products which can all come together to create the ultimate yachting package.
Accompanying the yachts being showcased, Captains, crew and representatives are on hand for guided tours and sea trials, plus more relaxed discussions in the VIP lounge. These are great opportunities to learn more about getting started in yacht ownership and the art of creating custom yachts.
For visitors looking to get even more out of the show experience, there's a host of seminars, Q & A sessions, and fishing masterclasses running throughout the event.
Extra attractions at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show
With exhibitors adorning the boardwalks displaying a curated collection of nautical merchandise and services, the perimeter of the show blends the yacht displays together, giving visitors everything they need to relax and enjoy the buzzing ambiance of the show.
For extra indulgence, while enjoying the fleet of new yachts for sale, the Lagoon Lounge Beach Club is the VIP offering for the Sanctuary Cove event. Looking directly over the Superyacht Marina, a premium bar and exquisite cuisine await with exclusive access to the private lounge and concierge service throughout the four-day boat show.
In 2023 the Lagoon Lounge went one step further by providing private corporate retreats. Roped off from the mainstream lounge area, corporate areas have their own seating space along with champagne and bespoke tasting experiences.
Expanding the service more in 2024, SCIBS introduced the Lagoon Beach Club VIP Experience. Set in a brand-new raised VIP precinct, located within the grounds of the Lagoon Beach Club, the new offering allows ticket holders entry to an exclusive environment with live entertainment, a five-star grazing menu, and free-flowing drinks.
