With the 2018 Melbourne Boat Show just around the corner, now is the perfect time to jump online and buy your tickets. Running from June 28 to July 1, it’s set to be the biggest show yet!

Being held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on Clarendon Street, Southbank, there will be over 120 exhibitions with an expected crowd well in excess of 21,000 people. There will of course be the exhibitors of all things boating, as well as fishing simulators, casting clinics, marine life touch tanks, and you’re even able to get your boat license there on the day.

It’s the 58th Melbourne Boat Show, and the Boating Industry Association of Victoria have partnered with the RACV to bring you the show this year. RACV General Manager Marine, Neil James said, “RACV and our marine division are very pleased to commence this important partnership with the Melbourne Boat Show which is a Melbourne institution. We look forward to working with the industry to further develop and enhance the show and boating in general. We also look forward to helping many of our 2.2 million members to access and enjoy boating.”
