Go Boating Club
Get information and join the Boating Industry of WA’s “Go Boating Club” at the Show. The Go Boating Club was been designed for West Australians to make the most of out of their boats; and provides boat owners a place to build their confidence on the water with training opportunities offered at BIAWA headquarters at Burswood on Swan. Members are also invited to participate in regular boating events that include river cruises, overnight return trips, day trips to Rottnest Island and many more. Visitors can head to the BIAWA stand at the Show to find out more.
Tackers Sailing
Kids can also get into boating with Tackers sailing offered as a free activity in Elizabeth Quay. Thanks to Australian Sailing, school aged children can test their skills in driving a boat with a qualified instructor giving them tips along the way.
