SCIBS improves accessibility with a dozen transport options

Organisers of the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) have announced that, for the first time since 1999, on-site parking will be available at the 2015 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. Visitors to this year’s SCIBS will be able to travel via land, water and air, with up to a dozen transport options available to make accessing the 27^th annual event easier.

Up to 1,000 parking spaces per day will be available on-site at Sanctuary Cove, located close to the entry of the show or via a short shuttle ride.

Additionally, visitors will be able to travel using the free ‘park ‘n’ ride’ coach service from Warner Bros Movie World, by helicopter transfer from Marina Mirage and Jupiters Casino (Jupiters’ guests only), or via water taxis, limousines, surfside buses or ferry from Hope Harbour Marina .  Furthermore, free shuttles will also be provided to and from the show from Helensvale Train Station.

Those planning to come by private vessel can moor securely in the Coomera River within tender distance of the show, or the Volunteer Marine Rescue will happily bring guests in on their purpose-built RIBs.

Johan Hasser, SCIBS general manager commented, “Visitor access is a priority for 2015 and the team was pleased to provide improved transport options this year. We are thrilled to be bringing back the option for visitors to park on-site. While the parking spaces will be limited, we know this will be a drawcard for a lot of people including exhibitors and their clients.

“With more than 40,000 visitors expected to attend this year’s show, we are pleased to secure again in 2015 our partnership with Movie World which was a huge success in 2012 and 2013.

“All our transport options allow visitors to make the most of their time at the show and enjoy the full program of events for the whole family including live entertainment, a kids’ zone, celebrity cooking shows and the popular ‘Women on Water’ events.”

The Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show takes place from 21st to 24th May 2015, attracting more than 40,000 visitors to a spectacular showcase of marine products and more than 500 boats across four action-packed days.
