Vancouver International Boat Show Returns January 29 – February 2

Vancouver International Boat Show

Jan 14, 2025

“For more than six decades, the Vancouver Boat Show has been the place to be for the largest sale of boats, accessories, services and more. The show is a fantastic showcase for those who are part of the boating community or those who may want to test the waters,” said Vancouver International Boat Show Manager Amanda Henschell. “We are encouraging everyone to mark their calendars for January 29th through February 2nd and join us for an extraordinary experience.”

In the coming weeks, attendees will be able to do some advance scouting by searching through the VIBS boat finder, where they can search by boat brand, view pricing, and even pre-schedule appointments with dealers during the show to ensure they don’t miss an opportunity to set sail on their dream vessel.

Those who are curious about boating, new to boating, or veterans of the lifestyle – are encouraged to attend educational offerings, including free seminars, and workshops. There will be sessions by boating experts on everything from Docking and Line Handling to Travel Stories and Tips and a series of roundtable and panel sessions specifically created by women boaters for women boaters!

The Floating Show at Granville Island

This year’s Show will once again be hosted in two locations, indoors at BC Place and the floating show at Granville Island. Free shuttle buses and water ferries will also be operating continuously between the two venues.

Show Hours for January 29 – February 2 are:

BC Place

Wednesday through Saturday:    10am – 8pm

Sunday: 10am – 5pm

Granville Island – Floating Show

Wednesday through Saturday:    10am – 5:30pm
