MARINE SHOWCASE This year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is gearing up to be one of the biggest in recent history.
FEATURING HUNDREDS of boats and marine products – and with more than 45,000 visitors and 330 exhibitors across four action-packed days – Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) is a truly stunning showcase of Australian and international brands. SCIBS General Manager Johan Hasser said the quality and stature of this year’s Show, which will run from 20 – 23 May, is exceptional. “There’s no doubt that 2021 is shaping up to be one of our biggest Shows, not only in terms of the sheer number of boats and the quality of exhibitors we continue to attract, but also when looking at the expanded footprint and the number of visitors expected through the gates,” he says.

Celebrating its 32nd edition, the event will host on-water displays from brands such as Maritimo, Horizon Yacht, Palm Beach Motor Yachts, Riviera, Sunseeker, Princess Yachts, Integrity Motor Yachts, Whitehaven Motor Yachts, Ocean Alexander, Fleming, Lagoon, Grand Banks, Azimut, Jeanneau, Leopard and Prestige Yachts. “To have a significant congregation of the world’s leading brands together at SCIBS is a great vote of confidence for the industry and we know visitors will be impressed by the quality and diversity of boats on display across every category,” Johan says. Major marques will feel right at home in the world-class Sanctuary Cove Marina, which
recently underwent a $10 million redevelopment including the addition of a superyacht arm. It has been awarded Platinum Gold Anchor accreditation by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), making it one of only eight marinas worldwide to be recognised with such status. Visitors can expect to see an exceptional line-up of multi-million-dollar superyachts following the Federal Government’s announcement of quarantine-free access for vessels and passengers travelling from New Zealand. Local experts in design and luxury, Maritimo, has announced that the brand will host the worldwide launches of two spectacular new motor yachts – the M55 and the S55 – at SCIBS.
