Australian inspiration, seventeen-year-old Jessica Watson, is officially confirmed to be a special guest speaker at the 2010 Sydney International Boat Show.

Jessica Watson, known as ‘the darling of the high seas’ navigated the world in under eight months, and will appear at the Better Boating Lounge at the show to share her amazing journey and incredible story with the visiting public.

Domenic Genua, Marketing and Event Manager for the Boating Industry Association said it was ‘truly exciting’ to be able to confirm Jessica Watson as the show’s special guest.

This year, the Sydney International Boat Show will be an extravagant affair setting a benchmark as the largest boat show in the Southern Hemisphere with over 70,000 attendees predicted to visit.

It will be an extraordinary event with plenty to see, hear and do on the day from visiting the Historical Boat Displays, watching the Musto Fashion Parades, entering the Photography Competitions and embarking on a memorable voyage with the Discover Boating Tours of Sydney Harbour.

As always, a show highlight will be the spectacular marina on Cockle Bay. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the harbour and city skyline, families can enjoy the spectacle of the best the marine industry has to offer.

The iconic Walk of Fame and the Nautilus Marine Boat Insurance Fishing Clinic will also be the pit stops for a great boating experience to ensure that visitors have the opportunity to see and learn more about the various activities associated with recreational boating.

The Sydney International Boat show is sponsored by the NSW Maritime and will be operating for 5 action-packed days from July 29 to August 2.

Discounted tickets are available for purchase online until 28 July on the official show website or at the door.
