The ticket gives entry to both exhibition levels of the International Convention Centre, the popular Fishing Masterclasses, the on-water displays at Cockle Bay, entry to the co-located Australia International Dive Expo, and bumper boat rides for the kids at the 35 metre pool located on the open-air Event Deck.

Whether you're boating and fishing on Australia's inland waterways or prefer the open waters off the coast, the Sydney International Boat Show promises everything for the avid boatie, fisherman or sailor, with new vessels, new tackle and loads of technology designed to make your adventure on the water even more enjoyable.

Visitors can buy tickets at the various ticket booths at the show, however organising tickets online is a great way to avoid the inevitable queues, and walk straight into this popular event attended by more than 63,000 people last year.
