2014 Victoria Harbour Boat Show

Victoria Harbour 2014 Boat ShowNo Northwest boat show can boast as congenial a setting as the annual Victoria Harbour Boat Show, right in the middle of the city’s scenic and historic Inner Harbour. This year’s edition takes place Thursday to Sunday, May 1 – 4. Presented by the B.C. Yacht Brokers Association the show brings about 150 new and brokerage powerboats, sailboats and small craft to the Inner Harbour docks and Ship Point. The plan this year is to connect both sets of docks to make dock-walking easier.  Ship Point also holds product, service and trade exhibits.
