That’s a wrap on a terrific 2024 Vancouver International Boat Show

Feb 13, 2024

Boating BC announced in their February 8^th newsletter, “VIBS 2024 has come to a close and by all accounts it was a great success. Thanks to Linda, Amanda and the whole team at Canadian Boat Shows for pulling it off. Crowds were down slightly from last year but certainly made up for it in their enthusiasm to purchase. Despite the slightly early close on Sunday, Boats and accessories were selling well throughout the week.”

Please be sure to fill out the exhibitor survey when it lands in your inbox which will help plan and execute the 2025 show. Boating BC thanks all the vendors who participated this year!
