Sydney International On-Water Boat Show 2025
Where Sydney Lives Its Best Days on the Water
Sydney’s waterfront is getting ready to shine. This spring, the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show makes its spectacular return to Darling Harbour, transforming Cockle Bay into a playground of innovation, adventure and impeccable marine style. Just a 10 to 12 minute walk from Hotel Woolstore 1888, it is the perfect excuse to spend a day on the water’s edge, caught up in the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to dream bigger.
Step aboard and see what’s new
Discover the latest in cruising design, next generation powerboats and cutting edge marine technology as you explore the purpose built marina. Wander from deck to deck, talk to industry experts, imagine weekend journeys, and feel that unmistakable spark that comes when possibility is right in front of you.
Along the foreshore and throughout Darling Harbour, the energy continues with interactive exhibits, entertainment and brand activations that celebrate life lived by the water.
Where lifestyle meets the harbour
New for 2025, the Discover Boating Festival Hub in Tumbalong Park brings the marine lifestyle ashore, with premium accessories, food and wine experiences, live music and more to explore across the day.
Sip, savour and unwind at Mr Consistent’s Cocktail Garden Bar, a coastal cool hideaway made for sunshine, cocktails and mingling with fellow boating enthusiasts. And for something a little refined, the Wine Selectors Tasting Deck offers guided wine moments overlooking the harbour.
Whether you are a seasoned skipper or simply drawn to the sparkle of the water, this world class event is your chance to be inspired, connect and soak up Sydney at its best.
Clear your calendar and make a day of it. The harbour is calling.
