The BC Boat Show stands as Western Canada’s largest in-water boat show, transforming Port Sidney Marina into a nautical enthusiast’s paradise from May 1-4. This prestigious event has earned its reputation as the most comprehensive maritime exhibition on the West Coast, showcasing over 200 new and used vessels against the stunning backdrop of Vancouver Island’s coastline. Since its inception, the show has been a cornerstone event for the British Columbia marine industry, bringing together boat manufacturers, dealers, and maritime enthusiasts in a celebration of nautical innovation and lifestyle.
What sets the BC Boat Show apart is its unique in-water format at the world-class Port Sidney Marina. Unlike conventional indoor exhibitions, this show allows visitors to experience vessels in their natural element, from luxury yachts to sport fishing boats. The show’s location in Sidney, known as Canada’s gateway to the Gulf Islands, provides an authentic coastal atmosphere that perfectly complements the maritime experience. The event has built a sterling reputation for featuring the latest innovations in boating technology while maintaining strong ties to the region’s rich maritime heritage.
Tickets for the 2025 BC Boat Show are available through bcboatshow.com or at the entrance.
