Southampton releases 2023 dates

Just hours after the 2022 edition closes its doors, Southampton has officially released the dates for the forthcoming 2023 Southampton International Boat Show.

Hosted at one of Europe's largest purpose-built marinas, Mayflower Park, the next edition is scheduled to run from 15-24 September 2023. 

Launching a brand-new layout in 2021 which comprised of sector-specific zones, the 2022 edition proved this layout was a great step forward for the show, so much so that organizers British Marine have confirmed it will remain so for the upcoming 2023 edition.

The Southampton International Boat Show is defined as the best yachting show the UK has to offer, and in 2022 the bar was raised yet again as a VIP experience was introduced, as well as extended on-the-water activities and attractions.

A total of 685 exhibitors attended the event, 126 of which made their show debut.

Feedback we’ve received from exhibitors from across the industry has been exceptional, with many indicating very strong sales.

Being an edition that coincided with a period of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, footfall expectedly dropped with the closure of the show on the 19th September, however, 83,000 visitors still attended over the nine days.

Catering to multiple yachting niches in the sub-25-meter market, Southampton is already preempting a strong display of motor yachts, SUPs, catamarans and a broad range of tenders for sale.
