About the Show
More to Boating in 2010
There’s more to boating at the 2010 Darwin Boat Show. At BIA we listen to visitor feedback. We know that literally 100% of our visitors that completed our survey in 2009 enjoyed their visit to the Show, but thanks to their constructive feedback, to make the show even better we’ve been working on more camping lifestyle and fishing features to even better complement the growing array of boats, motors and boating accessories on display at this year’s show, and we’ve added some special activities for the kids.
2010 brings a host of new releases and some nifty new gadgets many of which you can check out on the ‘What’s New’ pages of the website, and don’t miss the chance to inspect the new range of DMAX Utes, our official boat show tow vehicle, that will be on parade at the Show. There are heaps of prizes up for grabs, and don’t miss out on the opportunity to chat with members of the newly formed NT Coast Guard.
For those in the market for a new boat or to upgrade their marine accessories, the Darwin Boat Show is your ‘one stop shop’ to inspect and compare a big range of different craft and to fully consider the right boat or accessories for your lifestyle and situation. Take advantage of the ‘Choosing the Right Boat’ checklist to assist your choice and don’t hesitate to discuss your thoughts and needs with the many experts on the floor.
Don’t miss out on the chance to join in informative presentations by some of Australia’s best champion fishermen each day in the Marine Safety Boat Show Theatre, and there’ll be fish filleting and cooking demonstrations, not to mention the dramatic daily displays by the crack Australian Navy team that protect our waters every day from poaching and invasion, and those of our new Coast Guard.
If you’re into loading up the car-topper on the 4WD or camper-trailer, then you will love the range of car-toppers and camper-trailers, iceboxes, fridges, and new breed generators on display. Or if you’re looking to finish of a days fishing with a BBQ and spa, then check out the range of spas on display.
Treat Dad to a special Father’s Day feast in the air-conditioned upstairs seafood restaurant, or stop over at the family diner, or simply enjoy a cooling beverage at the XXXXGold Beer ‘n Barra Bar, all overlooking the stunning Darwin Harbor and Darwin Waterfront.
So this September 4 & 5, come on down and take time to fully explore the big range of new boating, camping and outdoor products on display, and to enjoy the opportunity to listen and learn from experts on all aspects of boating from the latest electronics and safety accessories, and the secrets of how to reel in the ‘big ones’. There’s even special fun for the kids.
There’s just so much to see and do for the whole family, so on behalf of the members of the Boating Industry Association of NT, I look forward to your visit to the 2010 Darwin Boat Show and trust that you enjoy your visit.
