SHOW IS BACK FOR 2023

Organisers of New Zealand’s largest, longest-running and most popular boat show, the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show, have confirmed that the show will be run, as planned, at the Auckland Showgrounds in Greenlane on May 18-21.

“This is great news for the marine industry, our hundreds of valued exhibitors and the tens of thousands Kiwi boaties and fishers that so look forward to the show each year,” says show general manager Dave Gibbs.

The huge show, which attracts both boatbuilders and keen boaties from all over New Zealand, is generally acknowledged as the best boat show in Australasia – and one of the very best in the world.

It is also the only show to offer those who attend the chance to take home a must-bewon Grand Prize boat package worth more than a quarter of a million dollars!

“I am glad to announce that, at the 2023 show next May, we will again be offering – thanks to our fantastic sponsors – a fully-kittedout Surtees/yamaha Grand Prize boat package worth over $300,000,” says Dave Gibbs.

“Entry into the draw will be open to anyone who buys a ticket to the show, either at the gate or in advance online, with those buying online getting an additional free bonus entry as well.”

Other popular attractions returning for 2023 include the Master Class series of free ‘how-to’ presentations by some of New Zealand’s top fishing experts; the fun Fishing & Adventure’s Kids Club area; the large ‘No Reserve’ Coastguard Auction; and the opportunity to showcase your skills and win a great prize in the Haswing Trolling Motor Challenge in the Hutchwilco Pool.

Tickets to the 2023 Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show will be on sale from December 1 from the boat show website. www.boatshow.co.nz
