Club Marine back on board Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show

by Chanelle Rodger on 13 Mar 2015 Club Marine are again proud sponsors of the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, with their members being rewarded with an exclusive two-for-one ticket deal to the 2015 event.

Simon McLean, Club Marine CEO said the long-standing relationship with SCIBS is vital for Club Marine’s branding, enabling them to personalise their contact with members and generate interest among new members.

'SCIBS is a great opportunity to be among our members and potential members – putting life into the Club Marine brand values.

'Club Marine sponsors many boat shows, Yacht Clubs and fishing clubs right around Australia. It’s our way of supporting the industry, and of course it’s a significant branding opportunity for us. We’re pleased to be associated with SCIBS again this year.'

Club Marine is offering a discounted ticket offer to all members. The two-for-one ticket offer can be redeemed online.

Club Marine will also be exhibiting in its regular position above the marina. 'We are looking forward to engaging with our members at SCIBS and rewarding them with their free member gift as a ‘thank you’,' said McLean.

Johan Hasser, General Manager for SCIBS, said that since 2007, Club Marine’s sponsorship has been an important element of the event.

'We are thrilled that Club Marine is choosing to sponsor SCIBS again and admire their long-standing support of the marine industry and SCIBS, particularly this year. Club Marine is a valued sponsor of SCIBS and our visitors always appreciate their interactive stand close to the marina.'

Mr Hasser continued: 'SCIBS’ mission is to showcase the boating lifestyle and the marine industry, helping exhibitors to achieve their sales and marketing objectives. Club Marine, as a sponsor and exhibitor, is a vital part of the show and supports our mission.'

According to Mr Hasser, exhibitor bookings continue to flow in and online ticket sales are ahead of this time last year. 'The pavilions are almost sold out and space in the Marine Village is popular too, particularly with the trailerboats, Stand Up Paddle Boards and Personal Water Crafts,' he said.

'This year, the ASMEX conference leading up to SCIBS, will ensure our exhibitors are exposed to the international delegates who attend. Supporting this is the unique SCIBS initiative the International Business Lounge sponsored by the Gold Coast City Council, AIMEX and the Queensland Government.

'There are many additions to the program, such as the glamorous Women on Water luncheon at the InterContintental Sanctuary Cove Resort and a superyacht River Cruise; a dedicated VIP lounge on the Boardwalk overlooking the marina, and lots of hands-on fun for all the family.'

Running 21 to 24 May 2015, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show attracts more than 40,000 visitors to a spectacular showcase of more than 500 boats and marine products across four days.

Visitors who buy their tickets online also go into the draw to win a five night 'Whitsunday Rent-A-Yacht' charter holiday on board the Perry 43 Prestige catamaran 'Nemo', valued at $5,775.*
