Sanctuary Cove owner Mulpha is gearing up for next month’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, Australia’s largest marine expo.
The boat show, which will be held from May 23 until May 26, is set to attract more than 47,000 visitors, 300 exhibitors, 740 boats and displays of more than 2500 marine products.
Mulpha Events General Manager Johan Hasser said the 2024 show will feature almost 100 product launches from some of the world’s most popular and luxurious marine lifestyle brands.
Companies launching products this year will include Airbeth Boat Lifts, Australian Marine Centre, Blue Diamond Marine, BRP, ePropulsion Australia, E-Yachts, Honda, Horizon Yachts, JSW Powersports, Leigh Smith Yachts, Multihull Central, MW Marine, Nautical Marine Network, Northside Marine, Riviera, Short Marine, Sports Marine, Steber International, Surf Coast Marine, Sydney Marine Brokerage, Outdoor Connection Partners, TMG Yachts, The Yacht Sales Co, and Yacht Domain.
“There’s no doubt Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is an unrivalled showcase for those in the marine industry, with an economic impact of more than $400 million,” Mr Hasser said.
Coomera-headquartered luxury motor yacht builder Riviera will have 12 different models on display at the show.
“This will be a magnificent showcase for Riviera and will be our only boat show display in Australia in 2024,” said Riviera Australia owner Rodney Longhurst.
"Excitingly, it will include the world premiere of a yet-to-be-announced, exceptional new luxury motor yacht.”
Riviera’s 900-strong workforce now builds about 150 yachts each year, with entry-level yachts starting at around $1 million and top-of-the-range models over $6 million.
