Message From The Mayor City Of Gold Coast

The Sanctuary Cove Boat Show is an incredible experience not just for those seeking luxury products but for everyday recreational boaties. That’s what makes it such a success, just ask the 43,000 visitors who attended last year. I applaud Show organisers, Mulpha Events for raising the flag again in 2023.
All aboard for 2023! That’s my message to sponsors, patrons, exhibitors and officials as the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show opens for its 34th edition.
Just recently, I was at the Coomera Marine Precinct opening a new manufacturing firm and it was a real eye opener to see the innovation being shown across so many fields – from manufacturing to logistics, design and warehousing. In every way, this precinct is now a huge engine room of the city’s economy and a flagship for how we dare-to-dream-big on the Gold Coast.
Diversifying our economy is critical as we navigate our future post Covid-19. Today, we are no longer as reliant on tourism and construction as we were a decade ago.
To see our economy broadening through marine, film and television, tertiary education, arts and culture and sport gives us all renewed confidence. With confidence comes investment and with investment comes jobs.
New investment in film, education, the marine industry, sports science and medical research has seen our economy grow from a GRP (Gross Regional Product) of $29.87 billion in 2012, to $39.12 billion today.
Further, it is great to see the joint State-Council superyacht berths at Southport Yacht Club in high demand. I’m confident there will be future expansion of berths for visiting superyachts as we countdown to the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.
Let’s make a date with Sanctuary Cove this year and connect more people who love watercraft, with those who know the industry.
To our much-loved visitors, please find time to spend a few extra days in our great city. Stay longer, play harder, relax and enjoy everything about the Gold Coast.
There’s so much going on at the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, you’ll need a jetski just to keep up!
Jam packed with something for everyone – from the luxurious lifestyle of the superyacht set, to the family fun of boating, fishing, and PWCS, to a huge array of technology and gadgets.
Our Show Guide is your official guide to the Show. Including the exhibitor directory, maps, things to sea and do, a full entertainment program, a new product launch section and personal recommendations from Sanctuary Cove Marina Ambassador - Francesca Rubi. The Show Guide will ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action. For those who’d like to go digital, be sure to download the SCIBS Official Mobile App (see instructions below).
2023 is one of the biggest shows in our 34-year history, with over 25,000 sqm of sports leisure and fishing boats, The Pavilions presented by Stella Marine packed with all the latest gear and technology, the latest supercars and private helicopters, a dedicated sea trial zone, catch and cook classes, exclusive waterside VIP experiences, and a full program of free entertainment.

From the entire boat show team, thank you for being part of the 34th Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show - have a great day.
