New Entrance, Show Layout & Features

Our 54th show is a step up from everything you’ve seen before: the main entrance location links the show with Southampton’s City Centre and WestQuay shopping centre, with even easier access to Britain’s biggest and best festival of boating from the heart of the city. From there, you will be able to amble along the dramatic backdrop of Southampton’s historic city walls, while you explore our zones on your way to Mayflower Park and our massive marina. The exciting features include:

• Sector-specific zones, tailored to your interests, including Watersports, Dinghy, Classic & Day Boat and On The Water
• Programmes tailored for each zone
