The 2014 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) team are reminding prospective exhibitors to register for this year’s event before the marketing cut-off date of March 24, which marks the last chance for exhibitors to be comprised in the 2014 SCIBS Year Book and Show Guide. This will be distributed to 200,000 targeted letter boxes from Brisbane to Tweed Heads.

Mulpha Sanctuary Cove head of events, Johan Hasser said the Yearbook and Show Guide gives exhibitors invaluable exposure of their brands and products.
“The Yearbook and the Show Guide are both popular with visitors every year and we urge exhibitors to make sure they are included,” said Mr Hasser.
“Exhibitors who come every year to the show know and appreciate how valuable these marketing tools are, the Yearbook is a souvenir people love to keep on their coffee table for months after the show, and the Show Guide has everything visitors need to know about getting in and around the show.
“These publications are an excellent opportunity to let visitors know who will be at the Show, and what products and services will be on display.”
More than 210 exhibitors have already secured space for this year’s show, including new names as well as some of the biggest names in the boating business.
Mr Hasser said all boating interests would be well catered for, with a wide mix of boats and marine products on display.
“Large powerboats include Palm Beach, Horizon, Maritimo, Fleming, Outer Reef, Grand Banks, Ocean Alexander, Riviera, Fairway, Integrity and Greenline motor yachts,” he said.
“We’ll also have the big names in sailboats, including Hanse, Bavaria, Hunter and Beneteau, along with the best and latest in marine technology – with Raymarine, AMI, Navico, Coursemaster, Furuno, GME, Marinonics and Fusion a few of the exhibitors already signed on.
“For those searching for a trailer boat, Nitro Marine, Sirocco Marine North, JD’s Boatshed, Chaparral and Voyager are some of the names that will be joining us as well.”
Mr Hasser said the team had worked hard to improve the 2014 show experience for exhibitors from booking to bump in, right through to attending SCIBS.
“The new website is user friendly and easy to navigate, so we encourage everyone to lodge their application before March 24 to take advantage of these great platforms for promotion,” said Mr Hasser.
