Southampton International Boat Show 2024

13th - 22nd September 2024   -   Mayflower Park, Southampton, UK

Britain's Biggest and Best Festival of Boating returns to Mayflower Park, 13 – 22 September 2024

Europe's largest purpose-built marina, Mayflower Park, will host a vast array of yachts for sale this September as the Southampton International Boat Show makes its return.

Well known for its relaxed atmosphere and the sheer variety of sub-30m (98.5ft) motor yachts it displays each year across its 50,000 square meters of docks, the Southampton International Boat Show often showcases several debuts, especially from British builders such as Sunseeker, Princess, and Pearl Yachts.

The European boat show has grown markedly since it was launched in 1969, and yacht buyers can expect to see around 600 global brands represented across the ten-day event.

Yachts at the Southampton Boat Show

Launching a revised layout for the 2024 edition, the Southampton International Boat Show presents a clean-cut zoned layout, grouping styles of yachts together for an easy approach to direct comparisons around the pontoons. Some of the types of boats scheduled to appear at the event include sports yachts, flybridge models, cruisers, and tenders.

In addition to the range of modern and classic style yachts for sale, there are many attractions dotted around the show including an enticing selection of bars and restaurants on hand, plus the Discovery Deck which showcases the latest innovative products and services.
