Superyacht Australia is pleased to announce that it has successfully secured funding from the Queensland Government.

This funding aims to assist Queensland companies, often small family-owned businesses or sole traders, in attending international trade shows and events and winning work that will bring export income to Queensland.

The funding, organised and administered by AIMEX/Superyacht Australia, has doubled from $20,000 to a total of $40,000 due to the success of previous years. This funding provides $2,000 AUD per company per event to assist with travel and event related expenses.

Expressions of interest are now being accepted for the following upcoming events:

  • Australia Fiji Rendezvous, 22-24 August 2024
  • Monaco Yacht Show, 25-28 September 2024
  • Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, 30 October-3 November 2024

Exhibiting at an international boat show offers a valuable opportunity to increase brand visibility on a global stage, to gain industry insights and lead generation on an international level, to engage in networking and mentoring opportunities, as well as investing in marine industry growth. At each of the international events AIMEX/Superyacht Australia facilitates the event or group stand, organises group accommodation and provides a platform for members to network and develop their business contacts.

For more information about securing the grant or attending an international event, please contact Maddie Spencer at
