This September, finding your dream yacht has never been easier. Ancasta is bringing you two incredible opportunities in Southampton to explore, compare, and purchase your next boat - the Southampton International Boat Show and Ancasta's own boutique Autumn Show at Swanwick Marina.
"Without doubt, the most effective way to decide if a yacht is right for you and your family is to experience it first-hand," says Will Blair, Ancasta's Group Marketing Director.
"We're offering serious buyers two amazing chances to get onboard a diverse collection of boats designed for every kind of on water adventure, from relaxed weekends afloat to extended offshore cruising. It's about helping someone make the right ownership choices to get them out on the water on the best boat for them and their goals."
Southampton International Boat Show | 19-28 September
Ancasta returns to the Southampton International Boat Show with a hand-picked fleet of new motorboats, sailing yachts, and multihulls - including UK premieres from Prestige Yachts and Lagoon Catamarans.
On display will be:
Prestige Motor Yachts
Explore the latest F-Line yachts, designed for open-plan living with expansive panoramic views - including the UK debut of the F5.7. Also on display is the Prestige M48 motor multihull, which delivers impressive space and comfort for its size.
Lagoon Catamarans
Making its first appearance in the UK, the new Lagoon 38 is poised to become a standout model in the Lagoon range. Designed for relaxed, stress-free cruising, it features a spacious layout and safe, easy access - making it a perfect choice for family adventures.

From leisurely weekend getaways to extended cruising, the Beneteau Power range offers a motor yacht for every journey. On show in Southampton is the versatile Swift Trawler line, known for its reliable sea-keeping abilities, comfort, and performance - ideal for family adventures.

Whether you're after a relaxed cruise or an exhilarating race, Beneteau's sailing yachts deliver memorable experiences for all. Visitors can explore the acclaimed Beneteau Oceanis range - perfect for shorthanded sailing - or enjoy the spacious luxury of the Oceanis Yacht 54.
Contest Yachts
Blending advanced construction techniques with classic craftsmanship, Contest Yachts creates luxury performance bluewater cruisers. On display this year is the multi-award-winning Contest 55CS - a previous winner of Bluewater Cruiser of the Year at the British Yachting Awards and a recipient of the European Yacht of the Year title in the Luxury Cruiser category.
