Southampton International Boat Show has announced that Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will be visiting the show on its opening day, Friday 13 September.

Known for an active involvement in the marine world primarily through affiliations with various maritime charities and organisations, Her Royal Highness will view some of the most anticipated features of this year’s show, including global debuts and on-water action, as well as exploring the latest designs and technical innovations in the boating world.

Her Royal Highness’s visit will help highlight the marine industry’s progress in terms of its innovation and the young talent that the sector is now attracting, which is key to driving forward its future success, and to retaining the UK’s prestigious standing in this global industry.
