An Airlie Beach Rotary community project, designed to attract visitors to the town during a quiet dip in the calendar, the boat show now attracts more than 8,500 people and has secured over 100 exhibitors for this year's event.
Among them are Bavaria Yachts Qld, Mustang Marine, Club Marine, Furuno, Malibu Boats, R Marine, Sailfish Catamarans, Sealegs, Sunrunner, Sunsail and many more.
There is also a marine-themed art show with a $12,000 prize, plenty for the kids, the Yamaha Fishing Tank and the Customs vessel.
"It's just got a great atmosphere and plenty of genuine buyers," says boat show organizer, Dalwyn McErlane, adding that Airlie Beach and its surrounds have built a reputation over the past decade as a marine hub for boaties and industry alike.
