Currently 22,822sqm of space has been sold for the PSP Southampton Boat Show. This is more than when the Show opened in 2012.
Over 260 boats are confirmed to be on the Show Marina, this includes; the Gunfleet 58, Broom 35, Bavaria 42 & 37, Salona 35, Greenline, Rustler 42, Merryfisher, X-Yachts XP50 & XC45, Prestige 550, two Oyster sailing yachts and the Rapier 400 catamaran.
There is very limited space available and this is only in Solent Park. The area is proving to be more popular with the redesign of the marina access and exit bridges driving footfall through and lots of boat companies are taking space here including BHG Marine, Wills Marine, Piranha RIBs, The Boat Crew, Regal Marine, Russell Powerboats and Parker Poland.
Over 582 exhibitors are confirmed to be at the ten day Show next month and currently 76 boat debuts are taking place, 23 of which are World Debuts which includes the J88, Hardy 62, ArtCat46, North-Line 37 Pilot and the Princess 43, V48 and 88 Motor Yacht. The Gemini Legacy 35 is making its European Debut while over 24 boats will be seen in the UK for the first time, from the Hanse 445, Gunfleet 58, Greenline 40, Dufour 380 Grand Large, Dehler 38, Bestewind 50 and the Minor Offshore 25.
The new incentive we recently launched offering further discounts to exhibitors bringing new brands to the Show's Marina has been well received. A 1/3 off the Marina rate card was offered if a new brand or one that has not been seen at the PSP Southampton Boat Show for three years was confirmed. As a result seven companies took advantage of this incentive and eleven more boats will be at the Show including the Maxi 1300, Saare 41, Ballistic RIBs 5.5 & 7.8 and the Premier 45.
