The 36th annual Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS), set to return from May 22 to 25, 2025, promises an unparalleled showcase of marine innovation, opulent superyachts and world-class brands. With exhibitor space sold out, and new exclusive partnerships with Gold Bullion Australia, LVMH, and General Motors Speciality Vehicles (GMSV), this year’s event is shaping up to be the most spectacular luxury marine lifestyle experience yet.
INTRODUCING THE LUXURY SEA TRIAL PRECINCT: AN EXCLUSIVE FIRST
For the first time, high-end buyers will be able to step aboard and experience the thrill of a sea trial on luxury vessels. This exclusive addition not only meets exhibitor demand but also cements SCIBS as the premier onwater showcase in the Southern Hemisphere.
Among the standout experiences will be the Candela C-8, a revolutionary 100% electric hydrofoiling boat that glides above the water for a near-silent, ultra-smooth ride.
NEW EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIPS AT THE LAGOON BEACH CLUB
SCIBS 2025 will further elevate its luxury experience with the Lagoon Beach Club, supported by major new partnerships with prestige sponsors Gold Bullion Australia, LVMH, and GMSV.
SCIBS 2025 is also thrilled to be one of the world’s premium venues chosen for the unveiling of easy-to-drink champagnes, on ice and all day, at the pop-up Veuve Clicquot Sun Club.
While the RICH and RICH Rose flows, showgoers can network poolside with free-flowing beverages including Whispering Angel, tasting experiences and live entertainment. Free Boat Show Access is included.
