Toronto International Boat Show Highlights Boating Innovations Including an Electric ‘Flying’ Boat

January 6, 2026

January 17 – 25, 2026 – Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place Toronto
 

Mark your calendars!  Preparations are underway for North America’s largest indoor boat show as the industry’s top marine manufacturers, boat dealers, retailers, and experts get ready to gather under one roof at Toronto’s Enercare Centre, January 17-25, 2026.  In its 68th year as Canada’s premier boating event, the Toronto International Boat Show (TIBS) continues to be THE place for both established and emerging brands to introduce their newest offerings to the boating consumer.   More new products are launched each year at the Toronto Boat Show than any other show in Canada, including more than 1000 boats on display from the latest in personal watercrafts, coveted accessories, safety advancements, and more electric-powered innovations than ever before.  
 
The electrification of boats has become one of the fastest growing sectors within the marine industry, as well as at the Toronto Boat Show where the availability of electric-powered products have steadily increased.  Among the most highly anticipated launches at the 2026 Toronto Boat Show will be the North American debut from a Canadian marine technology company building next-generation “flying” boats.  ENVGO, founded by serial inventor Mike Peasgood and the team behind internationally renowned aerospace company, Aeryon Labs in Waterloo, ON, will be introducing to the public, the company’s first product. The NV1, is a zero-emission 25ft electric foiling cruiser that offers a truly unique experience of flight over water.  

Using ENVGO’s advanced hydrofoil technology, the hull lifts above the water, dramatically reducing drag and extending range up to four times of conventional electric boats.  After years of design, engineering, prototyping and testing, in June 2025, ENVGO raised $2M USD in new funding to accelerate the production of the NV1 for its market debut that will officially launch at the Toronto Boat Show.  The 25ft NV1 model will be exhibited for the first time to the public with an underwater viewpoint of its high-performance hydrofoils (Booth 617). The January 2026 issue of Canadian Boating magazine features a boat review on the ground-breaking ENVGO NV1. See the Canadian Boating Team in Booth # 1741 at TIBS.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring  

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
