The much loved Spirit of Robe Boat Show will be revived in 2025, seeing the event expand and undergo significant changes, including a new name.

The inaugural Limestone Coast Marine and Adventure Show is locked in for Australia Day weekend 2025 and it is set to be a big one.

Event skipper Chris Matthews said the new Limestone Coast Marine and Adventure Show would have a fresh and family friendly atmosphere, while building on the success of previous boat shows.

“This event is not just about showcasing products; it’s about fostering a community of adventure and leisure seekers and providing an unparalleled platform to celebrate our shared passion for exploration and the great outdoors,” he said.

“In response to anticipated demand, we have secured additional sites, including indoor exhibitors, to accommodate the expanded scope of the show, ensuring every exhibitor has ample opportunity to shine.

“With an increased exhibitor list, including popular local market style in the Robe Institute, we anticipate this show will be fun for all the family.”

Exhibitors would include boat manufacturers and dealerships, fishing equipment suppliers, outdoor gear retailers, adventure tour operators, marine electronic companies, dive shops, water sports companies, local artisans, conservation organisations, marine insurance providers and boat maintenance and repair services.

In alignment with the event’s commitment to accessibility and community support the Limestone Coast Marine and Adventure Show would no longer require tickets for entry, instead, attendees would be encouraged to contribute a gold coin donation in support of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Exhibitor and sponsorship packages are available, with limited spots available.

The Limestone Coast Marine and Adventure Show will be held on the Robe Foreshore from Friday, January 24, through to Sunday, January 25, 2025.
