Hunting for boat shows in Australia? The headliners are the Sydney International Boat Show and the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, with strong line-ups in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide too. Expect everything from humble tinnies to posh cruisers, plus enough outboards to power a small suburb. Go midweek if you can, chase the show specials, and bring measurements—trailer width, garage height, and your tow rig’s capacity in kilograms—so the dream actually fits. When the confetti settles, Tradingpost is a handy place to find the boat you fell for, minus the showroom glare.
