On the Water Zone

More opportunities than ever before to get out on the water and enjoy action-packed fun for all the family!

From stand-up paddleboarding to dinghy sailing, the thrill of powerboating to cruising the Solent you’ll find it all in the On the Water Zone.

Ways to get on the water at this year’s show:

• Try-a-Boat in partnership with FlexiSail – Glide through the waters in a high-speed RIB or float across the Solent under sail. It’s free and offers something for everyone!
• NEW for 2022 – Try-a-Boat+ – Stay out on the water longer and experience life aboard some of the most adventurous and historically unique boats at the show. (Prices from £20)
• Get Afloat in partnership with Rockley Watersports – Enjoy dinghy sailing, kayaking or paddleboarding and pick up top tips from the experts. All equipment including wetsuits and buoyancy aids are provided.
• Mini cruise – Enjoy a mini cruise around the Solent and see the show from an entirely different angle!

Or simply sit back and relax and enjoy all the action on the On the Water Stage!

Please note: For the safety of our visitors, Try-a-Boat and Get Afloat  water activities require pre-booking. To secure your place and avoid disappointment on the day, it is advised to pre-book your Try-a-Boat and Get Afloat experience prior to attending the show. However, this can also be done upon your arrival within our booking area, which is super easy to find between the Watersports Zone and Dingy Zone. Pre-booking facilities will be available shortly.
