THE largest display of trailer boats at any single location in Queensland will inspire visitors at the 2015 Gold Coast International Marine Expo at Coomera from May 21 to 24.
The massive hardstand display of trailer boats is perhaps only equalled in scope and variety by the huge range of new and brokerage yachts, sailing vessels, equipment and accessories available at the expo this year.
Event and marketing manager Emma Milne said the massive line-up of trailer boats ensured the Expo lived up to its promise of being “a massive showcase of all things aquatic – from luxury motor yachts to jet skis, kayaks to fishing equipment and everything in between”.
Visitors are offered a ‘come by boat’ service with water transfers from a designated anchorage just north of the Gold Coast Marine Precinct at Coomera for a $2 per trip donation that goes to supporting the efforts of VMR Jacobs Well.
The expo will also host the Australian premiere of the new range of innovative Dragonfly fish-finders, including the high-resolution, smartphone and tablet-integrated Wi-Fish, from marine electronics giant Raymarine.
Organisers have also announced a partnership with global engine powerhouse Cat Marine to provide free transport between the event’s 2000 free car parks and the five key event sites. The free transport is provided via licensed ferry with live entertainment between the three expo marinas, and via courtesy buses linking the five key event sites spanning almost 50 hectares and including the biggest recreational ship yards, yacht and aluminium boat-building facilities in the southern hemisphere.
