The Adelaide Boat Show commences tomorrow (Friday) at the Adelaide Showground, with doors open from 10AM.
From tomorrow and continuing through the weekend, SA's most comprehensive recreational marine exhibition fills the Jubilee Pavilion and Duncan Gallery, presenting everything for the boating lover, covering cruising, ski and wakeboarding, kayaking, fishing and more.
The top marine dealers in the state and from across Australia have gathered alongside government agencies, offering visitors the chance to view and compare products, learn about the features of various watercraft, and hear about the regulations and safeguards in place to protect our state's waterways.
Up to five million Australians enjoy recreational time on the water each year, and South Australia's boating facilities are considered world class. Well-equipped marinas can be found locally and in regional coastal centres, so there's high-quality infrastructure in place for boaters of all persuasions. SA is fast becoming a well-established first-choice destination for cruising, long-range fishing or inshore water sports.
Alan Blake, President of the Boating Industry Association Ltd who organise the event, said there's no shortage of opportunities to enjoy South Australia's coastal or inland waterways. "As an industry group, the Adelaide Boat Show again reflects the tremendous enthusiasm Australian's have for spending time in and around the water. With hundreds of boats on display, and all the gear to go along with them, this show leaves no doubt about the many ways individuals and families can do so," he said.
Whatever form or style of boating meets your needs, the Adelaide Boat Show presents the extensive range of marine equipment available in this country today.
All entry tickets to the show are $10, with children 16 years of age and under admitted free when accompanied by an adult. The popular fishing clinics are included with entry, as are the bumper boat rides for kids on the indoor 16 metre pond.
