The 2015 Adelaide Boat Show will expand to exciting new dimensions to embrace a
much broader display of brands and technologies, including sparkling new releases, for
fun and adventure on the water.
It will feature the biggest involvement of marine dealers for many years as the industry
comes together in the one location to showcase the great diversity, affordability and
lifestyle choices in recreational boating.
To be presented in the indoor comfort of the Adelaide Showground, Wayville from
Thursday June 25 to Sunday June 28, it is the premier public event of the Boating
Industry Association (BIA) in South Australia with the support of its national affiliates.

attracting more people into healthy on-water recreational activities.
"The Adelaide Boat Show is a unique opportunity for boating and fishing enthusiasts to
compare the latest products and prices and to discuss options with industry experts in a
huge one-stop-shop environment," he explained.
The BIA has been working with its industry partner, Kym Jones Exhibitions, to maximise
exhibitor numbers, attractions and attendance at this year's show.
The response from dealers has been outstanding with the air-conditioned Goyder and
Jubilee Pavilions and Duncan Gallery to be full of vessels of all types and sizes,
including fishing, skiing and wakeboarding boats, jet skis, engines, trailers, accessories, kayaks and fishing gear - all at great show special prices.
The show will also feature be a range of fishing and boating seminars and workshops, a
presentation of top holiday destinations and entertainment for all ages.
"There will be something for everyone at this year's show whether they are people
entering the market for the first time or others looking to upgrade from their existing
vessels," George said.
