Each year, New Zealand’s top boatbuilders choose to release their new models for the first time at the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show. The same goes for the importers and distributors of new outboards, electronics and fishing and dive equipment.
Demand for space at the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show is intense. That’s not surprising as the show is a great place to do business, attracting around 35,000 visitors and generating many millions of dollars in sales.
The show is also a great to place to spend a day with the family. There are at least three pools (two of them heated, so kids bring your togs!) and literally dozens of great demonstrations and activities. These include fishing competitions and colouring contests for the kids; wakeboarding, windsurfing, and kayaking demonstrations; model yachts; a huge range of sailing dinghies and so much more.

Home to New Zealand’s largest fishing supermarket, there is a simply massive display of rods, reels and all manner of fishing equipment on display; much of it at special show-only prices. Many of New Zealand’s top fishing gurus are on hand, too; happy to share their experiences and offer advice about how to improve your fishing.
