Tickets are now on sale for the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show from May 25-28 at the stunning waterfront location of Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast.
There’s so much going on at SCIBS 2023, you’ll almost need a jet ski to keep up.
Exhibitor space is sold out, with every inch of the Sanctuary Cove precinct covered in everything the marine world has to offer.
Loaded with motor yachts, sailboats, pleasure craft, gear and gadgets, this year’s show promises something for everyone, with a host of national and international product launches and displays of everything from superyachts to fishing tinnies, stand-up paddleboards to efoils, boat accessories to water toys.
Attracting more than 45,000 attendees and 300-plus exhibitors, SCIBS is the Southern Hemisphere’s pre-eminent marine event, showcasing more than 600 boats and over 1000 marine products across four days.
Now in its thirty-fourth year, SCIBS has grown to become Australia’s largest and most respected marine showcase.
The event’s reputation both in Australia and around the world makes it one of the most highly anticipated events in the marine industry.
Official ambassador
Boating and fishing expert Paul Burt has once again been named the official SCIBS ambassador for 2023.
Paul will host an action-packed line up of events, including his much-loved cooking shows on the main stage, where he will be serving up simple seafood cooking tips.
He will also be hosting the SCIBS 2023 Live Bream Shoot Out – the deep-water fishing competition where amateur anglers compete for sensational prizes.
VIP Pass – the ultimate SCIBS experience
There’s no better way to live the superyacht lifestyle than an all-access VIP Pass to the Lagoon Lounge, the boat show’s ultimate VIP and corporate hospitality marquee.
A ticket to the Lagoon Lounge offers guests a luxury social haven, the very best food and beverage and the perfect vantage point to enjoy the show.
Overlooking the Superyacht Marina arm and the adjourning iconic Lagoon Pool at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove, the Lagoon Lounge is the best way to make the most of your boat show experience.
Proudly presented by SCIBS hospitality partners the five-star InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort and Bimbagden Estate, the Lagoon Lounge offers a delectable all day grazing menu, alongside a range of premium beverages and bespoke tasting experiences, live music and entertainment, and of course access to all areas of the event.
InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort general manager Matt Rippin said the five-star resort is thrilled to be back on board as the hospitality partner for SCIBS 2023, delivering gourmet catering across luxury exhibitor events and the Lagoon Lounge.
“We are proud to once again be a hospitality partner of the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show,” Mr Rippin said.
“It is a pleasure to showcase our culinary expertise and continue to elevate our premium food and beverage offering to build on the success of the Lagoon Lounge and provide an exemplary experience for VIP guests.”
VIP corporate hospitality
This year, SCIBS is also offering exclusive corporate spaces within the Lagoon Lounge.
Each private corporate retreat offers a roped-off exclusive space for eight people, including digital branding, champagne on arrival and bespoke tasting experiences, as well as luxury SCIBS gift bags, all-day grazing style catering and beverage package.
The corporate hospitality packages also include VIP accommodation offers at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Resort over the show days for Corporate Guest Pass holders.
