Auckland Boat Show opens ticket sales for 2024
Organisers of the Auckland Boat Show have opened ticket sales for the 2024 edition, which takes place from 14-17 March as part of the city’s inaugural Moana Auckland festival.
New Zealand’s largest boat show returned in 2023 after three successive Covid-related cancellations between 2020 and 2022.
The annual four-day Auckland Boat Show hosts launches from within the New Zealand market and worldwide. This year’s new releases include the New Zealand debut of Italian yacht brand, Sessa Marine; Haines Hunter’s presentation of its recent SP635 release; the debut of three new Princess Yachts models; the New Zealand debut of Finnish all-season boat Sargo; and the unveiling of a new-to-the-market Beneteau boat syndication opportunity, among other new launches.
Also available to view for the first time at the Auckland Boat Show will be high-performance amphibious technology from New Zealand company Anura. The company, which builds modular systems designed to be fitted to a range of hull materials, engineers amphibious technology to work for recreational vessels, as well as commercial applications.
Engine giant Scania will be on show with South Pacific Diesel Systems, presenting Swedish technology as part of the repaint, re-power, and repair exhibitor displays.
The dates of the 2024 show (14-17 March) have been set to form part of an array of on-water activities during summer for the first edition of Auckland’s month-long Moana Festival.
Supported by cultural agency Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, the festival spans 15 events that celebrate the ocean, including a range of regattas and the New Zealand Millennium Cup superyacht regatta, the inaugural Auckland Wooden Boat Festival, the World Manu Champs, Perpetual Guardian’s Sculpture on the Gulf and more.
A sea trial area at the Auckland Boat Show presents attendees with the chance to experience how vessels perform on the water, getting them up close and personal with manufacturers and dealers. It also presents the largest collection of vessels on the water available to view in New Zealand.
On land, exhibitors include a range of brands across the industry, including engines, commercial, electrical, and paint and antifoul.
Tickets are available on the Auckland Boat Show website.
