Sydney’s biggest boating event is back, and for Kiwis who make the trip across the Tasman, it’s shaping up to be well worth the effort. The 2026 Sydney Boat Show takes over Sydney Showground from 30 July to 2 August, bringing together more than 120 local and international exhibitors, hundreds of boats, and thousands of products under one roof.
Leading the charge this year are two names that need no introduction on this side of the Tasman. Riviera will be presenting its highly anticipated 4300 Sports Express Motor Yacht, designed for effortless cruising and entertaining, while Caribbean, led by Maritimo, will be showcasing their 40F Flybridge and 27F Flybridge, both sure to attract plenty of attention from serious cruising buyers.
From power to paddle, fishing gear to the latest marine tech, there’s something for every type of boatie. Whether you’re a die-hard angler, a seasoned skipper, a first-time boat buyer, a weekend paddler or just obsessed with life on the water, the show has it covered.
Chapman Marine Group will present the all-new Sea Ray 230 SPO Outboard alongside a range of Sea Ray bowriders, plus the new Beneteau Antares 9 V2 Coupe, Antares 8 V2, and the sporty Flyer 9 Sundeck. MW Marine is bringing their largest ever display to the show, with three Australian Premieres: the Jeanneau MF1095 Coupé S2, Jeanneau Cap Camarat 9.0CC S2, and the Wellcraft 28 T-Top.
Water sports fans will find plenty to explore too, with Malibu Boats, Axis Wake, and Nautique Central all showing new-generation models, while JSW Powersports will be displaying the latest Sea Fox vessels alongside the high-performance SEABOB.
Celebrating 80 years in the industry, Hunts Marine, one of NSW’s most respected family-owned dealerships, returns with a strong line-up. Visitors can climb aboard the Cruise Craft E695HT, E770HT, and EX635HT, as well as the Extreme Boats Game King lineup, the 696, 616, and the brand-new 746, which made its debut at the Auckland Boat Show earlier this year.
The four-day program is packed with fishing masterclasses, live cooking demonstrations with Paul ‘Burty’ Burt, and the return of the Supertank, an interactive display bringing fishing techniques to life. Families are well catered for with a dedicated kids’ fishing clinic covering the basics of fishing, water safety, and outdoor recreation.
Sydney Boat Show 2026 runs Thursday 30 July to Sunday 2 August at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. Full program details at sydneyboatshow.com.au.
