Get ready for the 56th edition of the Southampton International Boat Show, which returns to Mayflower Park from Friday, 19 to Sunday, 28 September 2025.
The UK's largest celebration of boating and watersports is undergoing an exciting transformation this year, featuring a brand-new layout with a new entrance on Mayflower Park, new attractions, and an expanded line-up of exhilarating on and off-water experiences.
Whether you're a curious newcomer, a seasoned water sports enthusiast, or a serious boat buyer, the 2025 show offers something for everyone. Held over ten days, the event brings together hundreds of leading marine brands, from paddleboards and dinghies to sleek superyachts and the latest tech innovations, all set against the spectacular backdrop of Europe's largest purpose-built show marina. The 2025 list of exhibiting brands will be announced soon, promising an exciting lineup for marine lovers of every kind.
A fresh new look and feel awaits visitors this year, including the launch of dedicated feature areas for powerboats (The Powerhub) and fishing enthusiasts (Angler's Alley). The new Boating Academy will feature talks and expert advice for everyone from novices to experienced sailors.
