A precursor to the 2021 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the Sanctuary Cover Boating Festival is a free three-day event that aims to whet the appetite of marine en- thusiasts after SCIBS 2020 was cancelled, due to COVID-19.
To ensure the safety of all patrons, visitors must pre-register their attendance online.
“We hope the boating festival will give peo- ple an opportunity to see firsthand our latest models in the water and innovations we have in development,” Mr Bar- ry-Cotter said.
Access to the Sanctu- ary Cove Boating Fes- tival is made easy with free on-site parking available.
SCIBS sales and partnerships manager Dominic O’Brien said exhibitor interest and bookings have been ex- tremely strong.
Managing director Greg Nickerson said they were extremely happy to hear Sanctuary Cove had announced a marine event for late 2020.
