The Boat Show at the Creek Brings Previously Owned, New Boats and Floating Homes to Mosquito Creek Marina

Growing up in Kelowna, boating was almost a daily activity in the summer. Vancouver moorage is a bit more pricey, but when it comes to enjoying the outdoors, there is no better way to do so than on the West Coast. Boating has recently made it’s way back into popularity with people of all ages and backgrounds looking for some adventure.

In it’s 10th year, the Boat Show at Mosquito Creek Marina is Vancouver’s premiere floating boat show. The show is an excellent way for those who are in the market for a new or previously owned boat or yacht to have a look at various models, check out what’s new and get some sound advice from the experts.

In addition to attracting boaters, curious ‘floaters’ who want to own and sometimes downsize to waterfront living come through: the marina is home to the Spirit Trail Ocean Village, a small community of floating homes. This community will be expanding in the coming years to accommodate a handful of new micro float homes.

With British Columbia offering some of the best cruising in the world, this boutique, end-of-the-season show provides buyers the opportunity to enhance their boating experience up and down the West Coast.

The show runs this week from September 8th to 11th, rain or shine at Mosquito Creek Marina (415 W Esplanade).
