180 years of maritime history

The port of Fremantle was founded in 1829 and has evolved through almost 200 years of rich maritime history, including host to the 1987 Americas Cup defence.

Attending the Fremantle Boat Show in March/April each year is rapidly becoming a tradition for thousands of boating enthusiasts and Western Australian families as they flock to the port city to celebrate its nautical heritage and water sport in all its forms. The rare combination of on-water and land displays attracts exhibitors with everything from $1.00 fishhooks to 20m luxury cruisers. For the third consecutive year the number of floating pontoons to be attached to the boardwalks of Fishing Boat Harbour will be increased to provide pens for the rapidly increasing number of large cruisers and yachts on display.

A great time for boating

April is a great time of year for boating – strong summer breezes have gone, winter rains are months away and the days can be warm and balmy. The selling season is far from over with buyers looking to replace or upgrade gear or planning that new boat. The event also provides a great opportunity to ‘ship out’ discontinued or over-stocked lines.

The boat show represents all aspects of boating and water activities including luxury cruising, sailing, fishing and scuba diving, snorkelling, jet skiing, water skiing, wake boarding, wind surfing and kayaking. It also features entertainment and tourism destinations, next summer’s boat and beachwear, career information and classes covering everything from fishing tips to marine navigation and much more.

Promotion Highlights

Over $150,000 in promotion and media exposure will ensure that water sport enthusiasts will know about the show and when it’s on. The campaign will include a full colour feature in The West Australian during the week leading into the event.

The Venue

It makes perfect sense to hold a premier boat show in Western Australia’s internationally recognised harbour city. Featuring up to 100 large vessels presented on the water in a working harbour setting, Fishing Boat Harbour, the home of the 1987 Americas Cup defence, is a focal point for the event.

The land content is presented on Esplanade Reserve Park in the heart of Fremantle. Located adjacent to Fishing Boat Harbour and a short stroll from the famous Cappuccino Strip, the park area provides a relaxed festive atmosphere where enthusiasts and the general public can enjoy all things nautical. With over 39,000 square metres of ground and water surface and capable of accommodating boats of any size, the Fremantle Boat Show is rapidly becoming the people’s favourite boating event.
