The 11th British Motor Yacht Show, which ended on Sunday 19th May 2024, proved to be a resounding success with a record number of exhibitors, boats, and attendees.
Event organisers, Fairline, Premier Marinas, Princess Motor Yachts and Sunseeker are delighted to confirm its return on 15-18 May 2025, with an opportunity for exhibitors to secure early bird booking prices to be part of next year's show.
Held at Premier's Swanwick Marina in Hampshire, the annual event brings the world's most prestigious motor yachts to the south coast. This year saw an impressive line-up of over 80 boats from more than 50 renowned brands, led by the show's partners Fairline, Sunseeker and Princess Motor Yachts.
Each brand showcased their latest models, attracting a discerning audience of motor yacht enthusiasts and potential buyers. The show saw the British premiere of the Axopar XC 29 and the Pardo GT 52, alongside the show debut of several other leading brands including innovative, hydro-electric motor boat pioneer Candela, sustainably made Virtue Yachts, Spanish boatbuilder Rodman, cutting-edge adventure boat brand XO Crossover, and luxury Italian yacht brand Sanlorenzo UK.
As well as unparalleled access to over 80 vessels, ranging from luxury motor yachts and versatile picnic boats from brands such as Hinckley and DALE Motor Boats, to weekenders ideal for coastal escapades from Saxdor, Sea Ray and Windy, guests were also able to take advantage of a wealth of expert boat advice available throughout the four days. In particular, show sponsors CGI Finance and Sevenstar Yacht Transport were on hand to provide professional guidance on financing options and transportation needs.
