The key yachting event in the UK, this on-water show annually attracts over 600 brands and usually expects more than 15,000 visitors throughout the duration of the event.
For 2022, Southampton looks to follow events like the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and the Cannes Yachting Festival with VIP experiences to improve the visitor experience.
Reporting a trio of VIP packages named White Sea, Coral Sea and the Black Sea there's a host of benefits being advertised for the addition to the English event.
Southampton VIP Packages
White Sea VIP package
Tickets include entry to the show with an official meet and greet on arrival. Visitors will be given an exclusive tour of the Waterfront Lounge and receive complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the show.
Coral Sea VIP package
VIPs upgrading to the Coral Sea VIP package will also get to enjoy all the benefits listed for the White Sea package, but lunch is included with a premium served buffet lunch in some of the best seats at the show.
Black Sea VIP package
In addition to all the benefits of the White Sea and Coral Sea packages, the Black Sea VIP package is the ultimate indulgence with VIP parking allocation, private tours of the show and access to a dedicated coat and bag drop-off area.
The real benefits, however, lay closer to the water with a private viewing area adjacent to the ‘On the Water’ stage and the opportunity to take a trip on one of four specially selected craft; an F8 Landing Craft, Motor Gun Boat 81, a high-speed thrill-seekers ride or a relaxed cruise complete with ‘bubbles’ on board the iconic tall ship Morgenster.
Covering 50,687 square metres, the 2022 Southampton International Boat Show is scheduled to run from 16-25 September and there's plenty to see and do around the show for visitors of all ages.
