Granville Island has the distinction of being one of the most central moorages for Vancouverites and visitors alike.
Located under the Granville Bridge in Vancouver, it is an eclectic mix of artist and artisan shops, a wonderful public market, and a host of maritime businesses serving the boating community.
The rich maritime history of Granville Island lends itself perfectly to an event such as the Vancouver International Boat Show.
The list of boats available for sale/on display will be available shortly. Boat models subject to change, due to dealer and broker inventory.

Few shows captured the hearts of Canadians and British Columbians like The Beachcombers, and its impact continues to resonate decades later. This year, attendees will have the rare opportunity to see the boat made famous by Relic, one of the show’s most popular characters and a fan favourite. A symbol of the province’s coastal charm, Relic’s boat embodies the spirit of adventure that defines BC’s boating culture. We’re thrilled to honour that legacy by showcasing Relic’s boat at this year’s show so stop by booth # 710 to see the Highballer II and meet the proud new owner Deano. Learn about the history, restoration process and a chance to reconnect with a piece of Canadian history.
