Australia’s boat-show calendar just got interestin Australia’s boat-show calendar just got interesting.A global events giant has entered the market, with Informa set to launch the Australian International Boat Show in Sydney’s Darling Harbour in 2027.
The move puts the country’s marine events calendar firmly on notice.What does it mean for the 57-year-old Sydney Boat Show run by the @boatingindustryassociation? How does it sit alongside @sanctuarycoveboatshow only two months earlier? And is this the reset Australia’s boat-show landscape has needed, or another layer of congestion?One thing is clear: the old model is being challenged.Read the full exclusive story at oceanmagazine.com.au - link in bio.#oceanmagazine_au #boatshow #australianboatshow #sydney #darlingharbour #sanctuarycove #marineindustry #boatingaustralia #superyacht #yachting #aibs #breakingnews
A bespoke superyacht described as “combining a cle A bespoke superyacht described as “combining a clean aesthetic, classic lines, technological innovation, refined Italian craftsmanship, and CRN’s bespoke design culture”, Project Thunderball was launched during a private ceremony attended by the owners and their family.
At 70-metres, Project Thunderball is the result of a close collaboration among CRN, the Dutch studio @vripackdesign
and the Italian firm @nautadesign
@ycoyacht acted as the owner’s representative and project management team, providing technical expertise and careful oversight throughout construction.
One of her most interesting features is the Energy Storage System designed to manage onboard energy flows based on envisaged operations, capable of peak shaving and silent operation at anchor, contributing to a substantial reduction in fuel usage.Read the full story, link in bio.

Italian naval architect, Valerio Rivellini brings Italian naval architect, Valerio Rivellini brings a distinctly modern Mediterranean sensibility to the global boating stage, blending performance, innovation and unmistakable style.Visiting Australia for the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, Rivellini spoke with @oceanmagazine_au about the two @cantiere_mimi boats on display — the Libeccio 13.5 Cabin and Libeccio 11 Cabin, offering locals a rare insight into his design philosophy.Known for pushing boundaries while remaining grounded in practical seakeeping, Rivellini’s approach is as much about how a boat feels as how it performs. In this conversation, he reflects on the evolution of his studio, the thinking behind the Libeccio range, and why Australia’s boating culture presents an exciting new frontier for his designs.@boatology.com.au
