COME TO SEE THESE FABULOUS WORKS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND LEARN ABOUT BOATS FROM ERAS PAST. 

COME TO SEE 'MAGIC ON THE WATER'!

There is something for everyone at this FREE show which attracts several thousand people each year.

With the historic steamships in the background, the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst, Ontario showcases an incredible variety of Vintage, Antique and Classic boats from elegant mahogany Launches to dainty Dippys to nimble Cedar Strips to flashy Fibreglass to incredible reproductions honouring the originals and everything in between

For those looking for that elusive boat part, there is the Nautical Flea Market. In Vendors Alley you will find everything from artwork to shoes.  And for those who want to own their own vintage boat, be sure to visit the Boats4Sale area. The Maple Leaf Antique Outboard Club will be there again this year with an extensive show and sale of vintage outboard motors.  And take advantage of a special 2 for 1 admission deal to visit the Muskoka Steamships & Discovery Centre.
