The show is within 2 hours of South Western Ontario; Muskoka; Georgian Bay and the South Eastern Ontario, the Port Credit In-Water Boat Show is easily accessible by highway; public transit and water.
Not just a ‘new’ boats show, the Port Credit In-Water Boat Show has always featured a healthy percentage of used power and sail boats. The show is well timed at the end of August (24-26th), this show is a great place to off load any unsold 2012 product.
Show costs are extremely affordable. Dock space begins at $300 for a 25’ slip to $650 for a dock that can easily accommodate boats up to 50’. There is room on the hard for bulk boat displays beginning at 1,000 feet for $1.50 per square foot. Booth space begins at $350 for a 10X10 space.

But the show is not just about boats. There are numerous boat-related land displays of marine products and services. There is the ever popular seminar tent featuring speakers on cruising, hands-on-learning and safety. And unlike any other boat show, the Port Credit Boat Show has a marine consignment tent. Boaters bring their ‘gently used’ product for sale at the show – all proceeds go to charity.
