The Toronto International Boat Show

Date(s): January 18 to 26, 2025
Location: The Enercare Centre

Toronto boasts 46 kilometres of Lake Ontario waterfront, so naturally, the city also hosts a splendid international boat show. Every January since 1959, the Toronto International Boat Show has hosted over 500 vendors, more than a thousand boats, unusual entertainment like indoor wakeboarding and, one year, a performance by a water-skiing squirrel.

If you’re eager to get out on Lake Ontario or see the latest trends in watercraft, The Toronto International Boat Show is the perfect opportunity to shop and daydream about warm, sunny days. You certainly won’t be alone—North America’s largest indoor boat show attracts tens of thousands of visitors.

Next time you’re out around Centre Island, Tommy Thompson Park or Lake Simcoe, you can place your bets on which boats met their captains at the Toronto International Boat Show.
