In New Zealand, the Whangarei Maritime Festival is back for its third year, and it's quickly becoming one of New Zealand's standout regional events. After welcoming over 20,000 attendees in 2024, the festival has firmly established itself as a favourite on Northland's events calendar — bringing life, learning, and celebration to the Whangarei Town Basin.
Next month, Whittley Marine Group, Australia's largest national trailer boat group, is set to release a six-strong new series of pressed and plate aluminium boats.

The new look show format this year is at the Sydney Showgrounds, 14-17 August.
Further north, Coral Sea Marina's Better Boating Expo, held on 11 July, welcomed a vibrant crowd of locals, visitors, and members of the boating community for a day packed with education, entertainment, and environmental advocacy at the Coral Sea Marina Gardens. From safety at sea to sustainability tips and local reef knowledge, the expo offered a fun-filled and informative day for all ages. Families and children, in particular, were thrilled by the live life raft demonstration.
