Make the most of the last days of summer at the PSP Southampton Boat Show. From 10 – 19 September 2010, the UK’s leading outdoor boat show returns to Mayflower Park, bringing hundreds of boats, exhibitors and visitors together on the south coast.

Set on one of Europe’s largest marinas, the PSP Southampton Boat Show in association with ITV Meridian offers an essential  interactive experience for everyone with an interest in boats, on-water adventures and an active lifestyle, from sailing enthusiasts through to families and the 'just curious.'

Over 10 action-packed days, visitors to this year’s PSP Southampton Boat Show can enjoy the very best of the UK’s vibrant marine industry:

  • Explore more than 1,000 boats, ranging from small canoes and versatile dinghies to sleek sail boats and motor yachts
  • Get afloat and enjoy one of Europe’s largest purpose-built marinas, with  400 boats moored on  over 2km of pontoons
  • Browse the products, kit and services of hundreds of Show exhibitors. You don’t have to be in the market to buy a boat; see the latest clothing ranges, shop for boat gadgets and electronics, book a sailing course or gather inspiration for an unforgettable boating holiday
  • Get out on the water and try a selection of boats for yourself.  Get Afloat with Rockley Watersports offers 8 – 16 year olds a fantastic chance to test their sea legs with a qualified instructor, while Try a Boat with onthewater.co.uk allows visitors of all ages to jump aboard and trial a range of boats for free
  • Back on dry land, experience water from inside a giant Water Zorb. Based in Solent Park, these inflatable spheres allow you to literally walk on water, with no danger of getting wet. Also based in Solent Park, the Nautical Imaginarium Stage Show will test your marine knowledge with a number of enjoyable interactive elements including a climbing wall and bosun’s chair
