Start of a new era for WA boat show both indoors and out.
The Club Marine Perth International Boat Show is preparing to open its doors for the first time this weekend at two exhibition venues, both inside at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre and with on-water displays and activities at the nearby Elizabeth Quay.
Show director Peter Woods said the final touches were being made to the show’s layout including the construction of 250 metres of walkway on the water for visitors to access the boat displays at Elizabeth Quay.
“It’s been a long process putting the show together, and we are looking forward to four big days of boating activity next weekend,” he said.

“Show visitors can expect to be 'wowed' in so many ways. From the luxurious $5 million Sunseeker, to the amazing new solar-powered catamaran, to the exciting water ski boats inside PCEC – there’s something for everyone.
“The Club Marine Perth International Boat Show is one of the biggest events to be staged at Elizabeth Quay and the first event to utilise the Swan River as part of the show. We have a full schedule of activity to watch and get involved in, including sailing, kayaking, fishing, water skiing and boat rides.”
