Travel Safe in Toronto !

We wish you safe travels to the show, and kindly ask you to take extra attention to the new driving environment downtown Toronto.


Reminder there are so many green lanes, where fast e-bikes, scooters and delivery bike services have the right of way. We attract exhibitors from different provinces and smaller towns, who possibly haven't been driving downtown Toronto recently.


The amount of pedestrians and bike traffic, road works and lane closures might require drivers taking extra caution, especially carrying wide and heavy loads!


We look forward to welcoming you in person to North America’s Largest Indoor Boat Show!

Scam Alert - Exhibitors Beware!

It is unfortunate but a reality that fraudulent emails and calls reach Exhibitors with misleading information.


These annoying and frustrating emails and calls happen to almost every major trade and consumer show in North America. Please ignore them.


These parties claim to represent the Toronto Boat show but have NO relationship with the Toronto Boat Show.


We ask you to remain cautious and do not enter into agreements, contracts or release information to any callers asking:

  • to buy or sell database of consumers or other exhibitors
  • to help you book show hotels
  • ask you about the number of staff you have or how many staff members will be attending the show
  • for release of information about the number of boats and their logistics to and from the show
  • for credit card information for show guide listing or ads
