2023 BC Boat Show, Sidney, BC

The BC Boat Show, proudly hosted by the British Columbia Yacht Brokers Association (BCYBA), will be held this year at the Port of Sidney Marina in Sidney, BC.

This is the largest in-the-water boat show on the west coast, and the show is an opportunity for people to tour the boats of their dreams, explore the latest yachts - both new and used - and delight in many fascinating demonstrations at beautiful Port Sidney Marina. There are usually around 200 boats of all sizes in the water, as well as many marine related business displays featuring everything from boat yard services, hardware, equipment, navigation, electronics, clothing, etc. Audience members can discuss the many features of the boats on display with knowledgeable and professionally certified yacht brokers. Sales often occur right at the show, as the brokers are usually prepared to offer special pricing for an at-the-show sale. All boats at the show are for sale!

Everyone is welcome and children are encouraged to attend, free of charge, with their parents.
