Sydney International On-Water Boat Show

This spring, Sydney’s glittering Darling Harbour will once again come alive with the return of the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show, one of the Pacific’s premier marine lifestyle events. From November 13 to 16, the waterfront will transform into a vibrant celebration of boating, innovation, and adventure — promising four unforgettable days and nights for marine lovers, adventurers, and families alike.

A Spectacular Showcase on Sydney Harbour

The 56th edition of the Sydney International On-Water Boat Show invites visitors to explore an impressive display of boats and marine innovations. From luxury yachts and power cruisers to sleek sailboats and the latest marine technology, the event offers a world-class experience on and off the water.

The onshore precinct at Darling Harbour will buzz with entertainment, live activations, and hands-on experiences, creating an atmosphere that celebrates Australia’s deep connection with the sea.

Sip, Socialise and Soak Up the Vibes at Mr. Consistent’s Cocktail Garden Bar

Visitors can unwind under the Sydney sunshine while enjoying signature cocktails, great tunes, and fresh summer vibes. It’s the perfect spot to relax, mingle, and toast to the spirit of summer on the harbour.
