The Boating Industry Association of NT has appointed the exciting Isuzu D-MAX Ute as the official tow vehicle for the 2010 Darwin Boat Show.

Living up to its spirit of a truck the Isuzu D-MAX Ute has plenty of towing power and torque and not only looks sensational, it’s full of great features and can handle the pace, making it the ideal vehicle for the NT boating lifestyle.

A full range of the latest D-MAX Utes will be on display at the Darwin Boat Show over the weekend of 4-5 September at the Darwin Convention Centre, opening 9.30am daily.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see just how good the new D-MAX Ute looks coupled up with a range of boats to suit all boating lifestyles.

Keep an eye out for the Darwin Boat Show D-MAX Ute tow vehicle getting around town leading up to the Boat Show, and you may get the chance to win free passes to the Boat Show.

This year’s boat show is chock full of new releases and features and early September offers ideal weather to spend a day harborside, so it’s a great opportunity to visit the show, stay for a casual lunch over-looking the best view in town, and make Father’s Day a very special day for the whole family.

The Darwin Boat Show is being held again this year at the Darwin Convention Centre on the scenic Darwin Waterfront. If you are new in town we’ve made it really easy for you to find your way from the airport to the show. You can even print off turn-by-turn directions. Simply visit the Getting There page and use the interactive Google Map.

Take a stroll along the Esplanade and the Bicentennial park on the 'Getting There' page

Click on the buttons on the top right of the Google Map to switch between Map, Satellite, Terrain and Earth to get different views. You may have to install a plugin to get the Earth view to work but the other three views are available without the need to install anything extra.

The full screen map adds another button, ‘More’ which shows locality-based photos that can be enlarged and viewed. This ‘More’ button also provides the opportunity to give locality-based information from Wikipedia.

Try it out, and after you’ve had a virtual look around we’ll see you a the Darwin Convention Centre for real on the 4th of September!

The Darwin Port Corporation says more boats move in and out of Darwin Harbour than many realise, highlighting serious questions about safety.
