Scheduled to take place each May, the Southampton-based event brings a wide selection of motor and sailing yachts for sale to the picturesque Ocean Village Marina.
Showcasing its inaugural event in 2019, the three-day South Coast Boat Show focuses on the 6m to 20m (20ft to 60ft) market, and there's always a wide variety of brands on display, including a healthy showing from British builders like Fairline, Princess, and Sunseeker.
Presenting a great opportunity for those looking to buy a yacht with a short delivery turnaround, a strong presence of new yachts for sale and a relaxed, informal atmosphere provides visitors with ample chances to speak with the many dealers and yacht brokers in attendance.
Annually displaying a vibrant selection of around 100 new production yachts, those looking to be out on the water within the next 6-18 months will benefit from guided tours, bookings for sea trials and even purchasing yachts on display at the show.
Many different niches of yachts are available to view around the pontoons, including flybridge yachts, cruisers, sports yachts, and more traditional varieties like trawler yachts.
Away from the on-water action, there are plenty of side attractions to enjoy, with lots of information on the latest tech plus invaluable insurance and finance advice. A convivial feel is enhanced by live music and entertainment, mixed with plenty of gourmet food outlets to replenish the energy after a day of viewing boats!
Taking place at the elegant Ocean Village Marina, Southampton, the area has a mix of luxury residences, extensive leisure facilities and close proximity to the famous Solent cruising ground. Meaning there is always plenty to see and do even when the doors to the show have closed for the day.
