62nd Toronto Boat Show

Delivers Qualified Buyers

The 62nd annual Toronto International Boat Show, North America's Largest Indoor Boat Show, concluded another successful year this past Sunday, January 26 with many satisfied exhibitors reporting surpassed expectations. Retail results were strong with a noted emphasis on fiberglass sales in several categories, despite a slight dip in attendance due to inclement weather, which suggests the quality of attendees and buyers had much more impact than foot traffic.

2020 attendance numbers totalled 69,530 down 5% from 2019, having experienced a major snowstorm on opening weekend effecting travel for show-goers. Upon the conclusion of the Show there were 1,700+ e-tickets not redeemed, likely due to weather conditions.

Exhibitor Survey: Tell Us What You Think!

Your comments combined with consumer feedback play an important part in our planning process as we continually look at ways to better the show experience.

To assist with this process we would appreciate your time in completing the 2020 Exhibitor Survey.

All exhibitors that complete and submit their survey by February 11, 2020 will be eligible for a random draw to win one of 3 $100 VISA gift cards.

Please note that additional feedback is welcome anytime throughout the year, and can be addressed directly to our boat show team.

Thank you again for you continued support and participation!

(Blackberry and Android users may need to use a computer/laptop to complete the survey.)

'Buy A Boat & Win' Program

Winners And Participating Dealers Results

Congratulations to our 2020 Buy A Boat & Win winners Lynn & Jim Wright of Wiarton, ON. Lynn & Jim have won $10,000 towards the purchase of their Legend F17.

We will present their cheque in the spring when Lynn and Jim take possession of their new boat.

Offering a $10,000 prize for one lucky boat-buyer, our BUY-A-BOAT & WIN contest sponsored by RBC, creates incentive for consumers to finalize boat purchases before the end of the show.

Each day of the show, we also made a random dealer draw from the Buy A Boat & Win ballots submitted by dealers.

Congratulations to our $100 dealer draw winners in 2020.

Glen Marshall - Port Sandfield Marina
Justin Stone - Town & Country Marine
Bernie Bianchi - Georgian Bay Yamaha & Leisure Marine
Chuck Howell - Howell's Marine
Dan Bursey - Harper Powersports
Jamie Small CO2 Inflatables
Bob Stinson - Swift Canoe & Kayak
Travis Tedford - Buckeye Marine

Number of Boats Sold:

A secondary objective of this program is to generate sales statistics - frequently released by the media. The accuracy of the numbers we provide is reliant on exhibitor participation in the program.

This year, the Buy A Boat & Win program reported 854 boats sold by dealers who participated in the program by submitting ballots.

Note: 854 only represents boat sales reported by those who participated in the program - which is why it is important that dealers participate in the program so boat sales figures given to the media are as accurate as possible.

Thank you to all who participated.
