The Southampton International Boat Show is one of the UK’s most celebrated marine events, drawing visitors from across the country and beyond. Recognised as a truly international occasion, the Show takes place over 10 exciting days, welcoming around 100,000 visitors each year to explore the very best in boating, lifestyle, and waterfront living.
For us at Waterside Properties, the Show is an annual highlight – and one we have proudly exhibited at for over 35 years. Our continued presence reflects just how valuable this event is, not only for the marine industry, but also for showcasing homes by the water as well as marina berths and boats to a highly engaged and relevant audience.
Unlike conventional marketing channels, the Southampton International Boat Show offers us a unique platform to connect directly with people who share a passion for life on or by the water. It allows us to meet potential buyers, sellers, and developers face-to-face, building relationships and answering questions in a way that online listings or printed brochures simply cannot replicate.
The event’s broad appeal is another reason we return year after year. Visitors travel from across the UK and overseas, giving us the opportunity to reach audiences who might not otherwise discover the Waterside Properties Network. Whether they are actively looking to buy or just dreaming of a waterside lifestyle, the Show puts us in front of people who are already in the mindset of boating, leisure, and waterfront living – exactly where our properties fit in.
