Doors Open for the Southampton International Boat Show 2024

What to expect at Mayflower Park over the next ten days.

Whilst Friday the 13th may seem like an unlucky day to start an event, the boat show at Mayflower Park promises to be anything but. The Southampton International Boat Show 2024 kicks off today, promising a packed 10-day event showcasing a diverse range of yachts for sale under 30 meters.

Now in its 55th year, the show spans 50,000 square meters of docks and brings together around 600 global brands. Since its launch in 1969, the Southampton International Boat Show has grown significantly, with yacht buyers able to explore a vast range of boats for sale, and marine products over the ten-day showcase.

This year introduces a revised layout, designed to make comparisons between yacht types easier. Boat show visitors can expect to see sports boats for sale, alongside flybridge models, cruisers, yacht tenders, and powerboats displayed across the event.

Fellow UK yacht builder Princess Yachts will feature seven models at the show, showcasing yachts from both the Princess X Class and the V Class yachts.
