New Zealand’s only on-water boat show, bringing together the people, boats and businesses that make our marine industry exceptional.
Created by NZ Marine in 2001, the Auckland Boat Show is a showcase of New Zealand’s world-class marine industry. From its home on Auckland’s waterfront, the show brings together leading boatbuilders, international brands, marine equipment suppliers and boating enthusiasts for four days dedicated to life on the water.
The show has grown into a major event on the Australasian boating calendar, celebrating New Zealand’s boatbuilding expertise, marine technology and passion for boating.
What makes the Auckland Boat Show different is the opportunity to experience boats where they belong: on the water. Visitors can step aboard an exceptional range of vessels, compare products, meet the people behind the brands and take to the harbour for sea trials.
From trailer boats and shared boating options to luxury motor yachts, sailing yachts and custom-built vessels, the show connects people with the boats, equipment, expertise and inspiration to make more of their time on the water.
