Boating Industry Canada
This year’s Show will launch on Wednesday January 20, 2016 and runs through Sunday January 24.
This year’s show highlights a vast array of products, educational speakers and guests. Featuring informative seminars from Eric Holden, BC-Born Mike McLellan, and introducing the 1970’s hit TV show Love Boat’s Ted Lange, best known for his role as Isaac Washington. BC Place will host engaging discussions about deep-sea fishing, freshwater fishing, how to buy a boat on a budget and perhaps most importantly, how to keep your family safe out on the open waters.
With over 140 seminars taking place this year, your weekend at the Boat Show will be jam-packed with educational and inspiring sessions from some of the most note-worthy leaders in the international boating industry. Be inspired by the sailing adventures of ‘Clipper Around the World Race’ winner, Eric Holden, and learn the ins and outs of boat buying from speakers such as Colin Jackson and Wilson Kao. For all the sport fishing fans out there, the Vancouver International Boat Show will offer a variety of appealing and relevant seminars, ranging from topics like deep-sea fishing off the coast of Vancouver and Vancouver Island, freshwater lake fishing, fishing the rivers of BC, and the opportunity to meet Sport Fishing TVs host, Mike Mitchell.
Beginners and veterans alike will have plenty to learn at the Discover Boating Centre, where experts will answer all of your boating, maintenance, accessory, safety, docking, and shopping questions. These un-biased boating pros will provide inquiring minds with all the resources they could imagine, including magazines, DVDs, boat shopping guides, and Hands On Skills Training (HOST) clinics. These free, first-come, first-served workshops will take place at the Granville Island Floating Show, where professional trainers will guide eager boaters through basic techniques and more advanced skills. Reserve your spot by visiting the Vancouver International Boat Show website.
The Floating Show will also play host to some of the newest and hottest boats around featuring top brands like Marquis, Prestige, Tiarra, Benetteau, Hanse, Hunter, Catalina, Dufour and many more. Show-goers are invited on board these beautiful vessels to check out the masterful designs, top-notch amenities, and state-of-the-art components.
Sailfest will also be returning in 2016 – a masterful display of modern and classic boat models, innovative nautical products, sailing services and some of the West Coast’s best sailing destination suggestions.
