The 2026 Sydney Boat Show runs at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, from Thursday 30 July to Sunday 2 August, marking the event's 58th year. Gates open 9:00am to 5:00pm Thursday through Saturday, and 9:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday. Tickets are $19 per person (plus booking fee), with children under 16 free.
Boating Industry Association Chief Executive Officer Andrew Fielding said the show continues to draw a wide audience. "For generations the Sydney Boat Show has been an iconic event on the city's calendar, showcasing the very best our marine industry has to offer, and we expect this year's Show to be one of the largest off-water celebrations yet," Mr Fielding said. "As the industry continues to evolve, the Show remains the ultimate destination for boating enthusiasts, families, and novices from near and far to discover the latest vessels, cutting-edge technology, fishing equipment, and marine innovation, providing a unique opportunity to explore, learn, and connect with the boating lifestyle."
