The countdown is on for one of the biggest events in the marine calendar. The Southampton International Boat Show 2026 returns to Mayflower Park, Southampton from 18–27 September 2026, bringing together thousands of boating enthusiasts, watersports lovers and buyers searching for their next life on the water. The show is expected to welcome around 100,000 visitors and more than 700 marine brands, making it the UK’s flagship boating and watersports festival.

For Waterside Properties, the show is much more than an exhibition. It is our biggest opportunity of the year to connect people looking for exceptional homes with specialist estate agents who understand waterside living better than anyone else.

Why the Southampton International Boat Show Matters

Unlike traditional property exhibitions, the Southampton International Boat Show attracts visitors who are already passionate about boating, sailing and life by the water.

That makes it one of the most targeted audiences in the UK for waterside property marketing.

During the show visitors can:

• Browse hundreds of boats afloat and ashore.
• Meet leading marine brands and marina operators.
• Discover the latest boating technology and watersports equipment.
• Speak to specialists about buying or selling waterside property.
• Explore homes that complement their boating lifestyle.

If your dream lifestyle includes stepping from your garden onto a boat, living beside a harbour, or enjoying panoramic coastal views, this is the place to start your search.
