The final day is upon us. It’s clear that all of you and consumers were ready and excited to return to in-person shows.

The Boat Show team has received positive feedback from show guests and exhibitors both at BC Place and Granville Island.

We are very happy to see sold signs and consumers leaving with armfuls of products. Seminars have been well attended, we’ve seen groups of people re-connect throughout the show and the food court and a lot of comments about how long they have been waiting for the show to return!

Attendance for Saturday came in at 8715 compared to 9610 which is a 9% decrease from 2020.

While we are getting ready to wrap the 2023 show we have lots of ideas for 2024 and cannot wait to start getting ready for the next show!

As we head into the final day of the Vancouver International Boat Show, media interest in the event continues amid busy crowds - as boating enthusiasts check out the vast array of boats and virtually anything a recreational boater may need.

Over the course of the five-day event, our major media partners and other interested media have been on site at both venues. The coverage has included a three-part series that aired on CTV (which can be viewed here) and a two-page spread that appeared in the Vancouver Province.

CKNW and Post Media were among major media outlets that aired or published stories about artist Inna Nagaytseva from Kyiv, Ukraine – and has been a special guest of the Vancouver Boat Show this week.

To generate funds for the Ukrainian resistance and to support her family back home, Inna is selling her watercolours, that favour her love of oceans, boats, and seascapes - and is also taking commissions for her work.

The “History under your Hull” presentation by Keith Bossons was also the subject of a Black Press Newspaper article and a Global TV profile in the lead up to the Boat Show.

We thank all of our media friends for their interest and ongoing support of the Vancouver International Boat Show!

**Please ensure you speak with Rob Scott to determine schedule and plans.

Open Sunday, Feb 5th at noon and remain open until Tuesday, Feb 7 at 6PM. The Staging Yard / Holding Lot is located at Indigo LOT 039 / 180 Pacific Boulevard, Vancouver (between GRIFFITHS Way and ABBOTT St.)

ALL boats and equipment must vacate the Staging Yard by 6pm on Tuesday, Feb 7.

Priority will be given to smaller, single vehicles that can be quickly loaded and exit the concourse. Larger trucks / pickups and vehicles with trailers will be asked to delay entering the concourse so as not to block traffic and prevent flow OUT of the stadium. As the initial rush of move-out subsides, the restriction on larger trucks / pickups and trailers will be evaluated.

We have a much shorter staging lane on Pacific Boulevard, resulting in less vehicles being able to be at the Stadium, please ensure you are ready to load upon your arrival, Do NOT bring your vehicle to the Stadium until your exhibit and product is ready to load. lf your exhibit and product is capable to be hand carried or wheeled out PLEASE DO SO.

If you have specific questions about move out, please leave your name at the Show Office and you will be contacted directly by our move out staff.

Those in the floating show at Granville Island will be sent a schedule via email from Amanda and in-person review with Ron Goreski.

During move-out, we encourage exhibitors to remove their own shrink wrap, skids, and leftover wood from BC Place and Granville Island.

Large bins will be placed around the halls for garbage disposal. Please use them, and keep the floor safe and clean.

The show is charged for garbage removal from the floor, and your efforts during move-out can help keep space costs down.

All persons on site during move-in and move-out are required to wear a reflective high visibility vest. (BC Place sells safety vests which can be pre-ordered or purchased at the Exhibit Service Desk.)

All persons moving freight, or in the vicinity of heavy mobile equipment must wear CSA approved steel-toed footwear in accordance with WorkSafeBC Occupational Health & Safety Regulations.

All persons participating in, or in the vicinity of the movement of heavy overhead loads, must wear protective headgear.

Children under 16, including infants are prohibited from the show floor during move-in/out hours. Persons found not to be adhering to these standards will be not permitted on site.

Note - if you have any questions or special move-in/out requirements please contact
