The Southampton Boat Show will mark the first event for British Marine Boat Shows’ new chairman Greg Munford, who has unveiled a range of new additions to the event.
The show, which takes place on 16-25 September, will feature:
- 60 new boats including the world-debuting Hanse 588, Cormate U23 Racing Edition and Haines 26
- The UK launch of the Azimut 55S
- There will also be more than 27 new brands exhibiting including BIC Aluminium, Alpha-Centauri, Racegeek, Aqua-cote, UK Sailmakers, Rubicon 3 and UGuest
Munford said: “As Britain’s biggest boating festival, the Southampton Boat Show is much-loved by sail and powerboat enthusiasts and one of the leaders in the global boating calendar. We’re thrilled to have seen soaring tickets sales so far, which are now more than double what they were this time last year.
“Helping plan this year’s event with all its new attractions to entertain the diversity of visitors and more importantly, get more people out on to the water has been a fantastic experience. Being a boater myself, the mix of new international and British brands showcasing the latest boats and marine equipment makes this show even more exciting for me to be a part of.”
