The New Zealand Boat, Fish and Dive Expo will embark on its maiden voyage to Waikato in August.
The event, taking place at Mystery Creek Events Centre on August 31 and September 1, will showcase all things marine, including the latest boating technology, fishing gear, dive equipment and water sports gear.
It will also cater to the culinary side of the marine world, with seafood tastings, cooking demonstrations, and offerings from local suppliers.
The organisers said the event will have something for every member of the marine community, including boating and fishing enthusiasts, divers and ocean conservationists.
The event follows in the footsteps of the Boat, Fishing and Leisure Show which ran from 2002 to 2011.
