The 2025 Toronto International Boat Show reported strong attendance at its 2025 show, which ran Jan. 18-26, at the Enercare Centre.

“The 2025 Toronto International Boat Show was a fantastic opportunity for Maple Leaf Marinas to connect with boating enthusiasts and industry partners,” said Steve Tait, vice president of sales at Marple Leaf Marinas. “We had the chance to meet a solid number of quality leads and strengthen relationships within the boating community. As always, the show provided a great platform to showcase what we offer, and we appreciate the effort that went into making it a success.”

Show attendance was strong despite running the show for nine days instead of 10. The 2025 show reported 55,114 visitors, or an average of 6,124 attendees per day. This is compared to 60,124 in 2024, or an average of 6,012 attendees per day. The mid-week attendance boost from Late Night Thursday was up 42 percent compared to the same day last year.
 
“We came into TIBS 2025 with a purpose to move the last of our non-currents and focus on the positives of boating,” said Pete Moreau of Central Marine. “Our purpose was not only met but we completely exceeded our expectations and targets. The Late Night Thursday added much value to our end numbers and this will be a show to give us new goals in the years to come.”  

More than 1,000 boats of all sizes packed the show floor of the Enercare Centre, including the Canadian debut of C.J. Grant Racing’s 388 Skater Super Cat with twin 800 HP HRE Engines on display for the Toronto Offshore Powerboat Grand Prix July 11-13, announced exclusively at the Toronto Boat Show.

The 68th Annual Toronto International Boat Show will return Jan. 17–25, 2026, at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place.
