Southampton International Boat Show has set its next dates after the close of its September 2026 edition. British Marine confirms that the 2027 show will run from Saturday 18 to Saturday 25 September, moving to an eight-day format.
For visitors focused on tenders, dinghies, paddle equipment and powerboats under 12 metres, the revised calendar provides a clear window for comparing different products in one place. Individual 2027 exhibitor and model lists still need to be announced.
Eight days around the waterfront
The revised schedule runs Saturday to Saturday and includes three weekend trading days. Organisers describe the decision as a response to exhibitor feedback rather than an indication that visitor or sales numbers are guaranteed.
British Marine also reports a longer-term agreement for Mayflower Park, preserving the main waterfront setting. Public arrangements and marina access may develop as the following edition approaches.
The range is wider than big yachts
Fairline, Princess Yachts and Sunseeker are among the early brands confirming support, but those larger yacht names are only one part of the show. LBG will follow the under-12-metre boats, engines, chandlery and watersports equipment once the relevant exhibitors publish their plans.
An advertised return by a company is not confirmation that every model in its catalogue will be on display. Visitors should check the actual fleet and demonstration arrangements before booking travel.
Planning a useful visit
A full day allows time to see equipment installation details, compare boat layouts and talk to technical specialists. Families may also value the public activity around the waterfront.
The present announcement establishes dates and format for September 2027, not a completed show. LBG uses British Marine's official release and image for this future-event report.
