Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your visit.
WHY VISIT THE HORIZON SHORES BOAT SHOW?
Boat shows feature a huge range of boats and boating accessories, watercraft and fishing and watersports equipment. The three-day Horizon Shores Boat Show will offer this and plenty more, with camping, off-road vehicles, adventure and lifestyle!
Meet leading marine and adventure businesses, join free seminars and live demonstrations, get involved with competitions and giveaways, watch and bid in LIVE BOAT AUCTIONS, join in the activities for the whole family, experience delicious food and wine, and relax with live music performances. Best of all, gain invaluable insight into everything boating, adventure, marine and outdoor!
If you’re looking to buy a boat or jet ski, or start your research (and your Christmas wishlist), the Horizon Shores Boat Show is the place to do it.
SHOULD I TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY?
Absolutely! The Boat Show is the perfect way to spoil dad this Father’s Day, with family-friendly activities, free water activities and on-water entertainment, Friday night fireworks, plus food trucks, live music and more.
If you’re a boating and adventure lover but your partner and kids aren’t quite as enthusiastic as you (yet), get involved in everything else on offer throughout the event with a variety of demonstrations, shows, competitions, prizes and activities.
WHY IT’S GREAT TO BUY AT A BOAT SHOW
The Horizon Boat Show hosts all the major dealers in one convenient location so you can compare brands, models and prices to find the right product to fit you and your lifestyle. Another benefit of purchasing at the show is finding a great deal, with many exhibitors offering ‘show specials’!
Don’t miss the LIVE BOAT AUCTIONS, hosted by Marine Auctions. Whether you’re bidding or not, the excitement of a live boating auction is unmatched, and if you’re lucky, you’ll win the boat of your dreams!
The Horizon Shores Boat Show has been designed for every family, so you’ll find plenty of new and second-hand marine and adventure products to suit your budget.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU GET TO A BOAT SHOW
Buying your tickets online will save you money and the hassle of lining up on the day when you get there. This year, we are offering half-price entry to all guests who pre-register for tickets, so make sure to organise this beforehand.
Make sure you wear comfortable, easily removable shoes. You’ll be walking around a lot to see everything, and dealers may ask you to remove your shoes before stepping aboard their vessels.
BUYING TIPS
Do your research before arriving. Ensure you consider all the additional costs, negotiate on price, warranties, optional accessories, delivery dates, and training. At auction, set yourself a price target, pre-approve your finance, identification required to register, bid in smaller increments, be unemotional and confident, read the auctioneer’s terms and conditions before you arrive, and be prepared to pay a deposit on the day to confirm your purchase if your auction bid is successful.
