Southampton Boat Show drew 91,160 visitors; the 2027 edition shrinks to eight days
The Southampton International Boat Show closed on 27 September after ten days at Mayflower Park. Organiser British Marine reports 91,160 visitors, more than 500 boats and watercraft on display, over 25 world, UK and show debuts and 20 launches of new equipment and technology. Up to 8,000 people took part in on-water activities.
The 2027 show will be shorter: eight days, from Saturday 18 to Saturday 25 September, still with three weekend days. Mayflower Park is secured as the venue for the next three years, and Fairline, Princess Yachts and Sunseeker have confirmed their return.
Exhibitors who book by 15 November 2026 get an early discount of up to 20%, and visitors can already plan around the new Saturday-to-Saturday dates.
