Cape Town International Boat Show

Drift by and see the continent’s biggest boating and water sports expo

Lovers of all things nautical are in for a treat. The leviathan of boat shows and water sports exhibitions is pulling into port at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) and the V&A Waterfront’s North Wharf from Friday, 9 October to Sunday, 11 October 2015.

Attendees can look forward to a display with an impressive range of boats, catamarans and other vessels on show. If you’re interested in buying a small paddle boat or looking to get your hands on a luxury cruiser, then this exhibition will have everything you could ever desire. There is no better way of finding a boat to match your needs than by getting up close with the real things and the experts who sell them.

“Cape Town is home to some of the finest yacht and catamaran builders in the world and we’re fortunate to have a number of these outstanding vessels on display again this year,” says event organiser Johnny Malherbe. “This is a unique opportunity for visitors to get on board these exclusive boats and get a real feel for their capabilities,” he added.

The show will feature a few demonstrations by expert sea-farers. Catch the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) demonstration, a rowing regatta between several Cape Town high schools, and a compelling demonstration by the Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board club to name a few.

There will also be a range of interesting and informative seminars at this year’s event. The Speaker Series will see ultra-adventurer Dave du Plessis present his solo paddle boat at the show, before he embarks on his mission from Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro. Other guest speakers include Andrew Ingram with stories from the NSRI, Monty Guest with a talk on Coelacanths, and Jeremy Johnson on jetski fishing, among others.
