DISPLAYING A BOAT AT THE 2025 AUSTRALIAN WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL

Displaying your wooden boat at the largest celebration of maritime culture in the Southern Hemisphere is certainly something to be proud of. The AWBF encourages all sizes, shapes and rigs to register an expression of interest. The festival provides an opportunity to connect and engage with members of the public and like-minded boating enthusiasts across four fabulous days. 

Boats ashore are displayed across the festival site and within City Hall. 

Boats afloat are berthed across the entire Hobart Waterfront. 

Please read the EOI forms carefully and have your boat information handy.
