ABOUT the expo

Between 2002 and 2011 the Waikato region treasured having The Boat, Fishing and Leisure Show, which at its peak attracted just under 23,000 attendees! For 12 years now the region has not had the privilege to enjoy such an event, so after many requests we are very excited to bring the region its very own boat show once again in the form of......The 2025 NZ Boat, Fish and Dive Expo which will be held at Mystery Creek Events Centre, Hamilton with dates to follow soon!

If you are in any shape or form interested in any water based sports from boating to fishing, diving, spearfishing, kayaking, wakeboarding, skiing, jet skiing, seafood or the culinary preparation of it, then this is one event you cannot afford to miss!

Mystery Creek Events Centre is a world class, purpose built, all weather event venue with 8,000m2 of indoor exhibition space for this event. With unlimited FREE parking, ease of access into the venue, close proximity to the new expressway and literally two minutes from Hamilton Airport makes it easy travelling for anyone living within 2 hours of this amazing venue location and also anyone wishing to fly in from further afield so get ready for an absolutely epic weekend celebration of all things on, in or under the water!!

2024 fundraising

Giving back is extremely important to us and so every year within our events we do legacy projects to fundraise or help charities that are linked in some way to the event theme. This year we are sponsoring or implementing fundraising initiatives for three very important charity organisations in New Zealand that contribute so much to the Fishing and Boating Communities - The Wish4Fish Charity, the NZ Coastguard and Legasea.

Supporting entities like this is extremely important given that these organisations rely so heavily on donations and support to be able to achieve the fantastic work that they do, so come along to the event, support these organisations and fundraising initiatives that will ultimately go back into helping the boating, fishing and diving communities.

If you haven't heard Bryce Dinneen's story and how the Wish4Fish Charity came about, I highly recommend watching this clip on YouTube to fully understand our motivation to help Bryce with his incredible work....He is an absolute legend!
