The Vancouver International Boat Show announced that it changed the indoor venue to Vancouver Convention Centre West for this year’s edition, offering a new layout, an improved visitor experience and a full lineup of builders and boats. The show is scheduled for Jan. 14-18.
“This year marks a major milestone for the Vancouver International Boat Show,” show manager Amanda Henschell said in a statement. “Moving to the Vancouver Convention Centre allows us to elevate the entire guest experience with a brighter, scenic and more accessible setting. It’s an incredible opportunity to grow the show while continuing to showcase the boating lifestyle that British Columbians love.”
The in-water floating venue at Granville Island remains, with continuous shuttle service connecting both locations. The 2026 edition will include the return of several boatbuilders for the first time in five years.
“We’re seeing renewed momentum across the marine industry, and that’s reflected in the strong presence of manufacturers returning to our show,” added Bruce Hayne, executive director of the Boating BC Association.
Additional updates will be available at the show website.
