Expecting some of the biggest names in British yachting such as Princess, Sunseeker and Pearl Yachts, the British Motor Yacht Show is a quieter offering than the well-known Southampton International Boat Show, but it has everything an owner needs to get a real taste of the yachting lifestyle.
With a small boutique style about it, the British Motor Yacht Show is scheduled to run from 11-14 May and prides itself on offering all the visitors an all-in-one experience where you can view and buy a yacht, and then utilize the curated collection of exhibitors to complete the ultimate yachting package.
Operating differently to many other yacht shows, this event is predominantly appointment based, working to offer each new or experienced owner enough time to view a yacht thoroughly and then acquire any information they need there and then from respective brokers and representatives.
What To Expect At The British Motor Yacht Show
Despite being smaller than other shows, this Southampton-based event pulls out all the stops to cater to as many niches as it can. Strolling around the pontoons will provide close-up views to more than 70 yachts including flybridge yachts, speedy tenders, the latest water toys, cruisers and sports yachts to name a few.
Starting off as a mostly British affair, the show has grown over the years to include more and more international brands, with more than 15 being added over the last two editions. International brands that now regularly make an appearance include Beneteau, Azimut and Bavaria.
Planning Ahead
As the British Motor Yacht Show works by appointment only, we advise that you book your preferred timeslots as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
Multiple eateries are located throughout the vicinity of the show including multiple breakfast options and lobster for lunch. Mixed in with the exhibitors tents and stalls, there's plenty to see and do while planning which brands to visit next.
