2015 VANCOUVER BOAT SHOW KICKS OFF THE BOATING SEASON
Annual event returns in January to launch a new year on the water
Western Canada’s largest boat show, the Vancouver International Boat Show, is
returning in the New Year, giving boaters an early start to the upcoming season. Running Wednesday,
January 21 to Sunday, January 25, 2015, the 53rd annual event will host more than 250 exhibitors
showcasing the best and biggest selection of boats and boating products.
“Last year we saw a great number of motivated buyers and attendees eager to start their boating
season and experience BC’s stunning coastline and hundreds of lakes and rivers,” says Show
Manager, Eric Nicholl. “We are excited to once again host visitors from all across Western Canada,
and help navigate their way to getting out on the water this season, and experience the boating
lifestyle.”
This year’s highly anticipated featured guest will be none other than Tuna.com’s Captain, Dave
Carraro – star of the hit National Geographic TV Show Wicked Tuna. Dave will be on hand for meet
and greets with fans, and will be more than willing to give the inside scoop on what it’s like to be one
of the most respected and talented fisherman in the North Eastern US.
The Vancouver Boat Show’s two great locations – an indoor venue at BC Place and a Floating Show
at Granville Island – offer show goers of all ages and expertise an unparalleled experience. This year
attendees can get their season started with family-friendly activities, a fantastic seminar lineup
featuring top boating experts, and incredible deals on all of the newest and most innovative marine
products.
