Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival 2020
Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival 2020
IT'S BACK! KIND OF
We've yearned to be back at a major boat show, and although the Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival is a lite version of our favourite local show, we found plenty of interesting boats and gear in the exhibitor's list.
Held in the same iconic destination as the International Boat Show, the Sanctuary Cove Boating Festival feels like it has a lot in common with May's showpiece. The organisers have done a good job of trying to keep the lid on expectation but that might just be clever marketing with the biggest names in luxury boating on display at the marina and plenty of accessories lined up to display within the marine village precinct.
Expect to see the Horizon RP100 featured in issue #526, the Maritimo M70 on this months cover, the Riviera 64 SMY that graced the cover of issue #531 alongside the just-released 50 SMY plus the Princess V65 from the last issue. Fleming will, border restrictions allowing, bring their impressive 55 up from Sydney and of course one of the 2020s most anticipated releases, the Lagoon Seventy 8 catamaran, is being presented by The Multi Group. There will be more to see including a new to Australia brand in Mag Bay, a stylish fishing-focussed brand from the US that we think will suit the Gold Coast lifestyle perfectly.
Carparking is probably the one chink in the armour of SCIBS proper, it is expected to be hard to get a park close to the show entrances unless you leave early. Take the bus if you can, as there is a stop right outside the IGA and main entrance. Entry is free but there is a cap on visitors allowed through the gates so, again, try to get in early to avoid possible disappointment.
For those who cannot make it, we'll have one of our best on the boardwalks taking photos and preparing a recap for a coming issue, so stay tuned.
IT’S A THRILL-A-MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, OVER FOUR FUN-FILLED DAYS.
