With headline sponsor Raymarine, this year’s show, from 15 – 17 May, offers a unique opportunity to experience the finest brands in the global power and sail market. Located at the stunning yet intimate environment of Ocean Village Marina, there will be more than 50 new boats from 20 – 60ft on display for serious buyers to explore.

Over 29 top brands are already confirmed, with more to come. Visitors will see: Arcona, Azimut Yachts, Bayliner, Beneteau (sail and power), Dragonfly Trimarans, Dehler, Dufour, Excess Catamarans, Grand RIBS, Hanse, Jeanneau (sail and power), Lagoon, Najad, Nautitech Catamarans, Parker Boats, Sea Ray, X-Yachts and more.

New for 2020 is a land-based exhibition. At the entrance to the MDL marina, a vibrant area is designed for serious boaters and includes exhibitions from Raymarine, GN Espace Galley Solutions, SGB finance, the Association of Sail Training Organisations, Clean to Gleam, JDK marine valeting, Wilder Solent and Jeckells the Sailmakers.

The South Coast Boat Show has been cleverly designed to appeal to buyers who wish to get afloat this season. The website’s bespoke appointment system ensures visitors get to see the brands they want, at the time they want. Whether that’s to thoroughly explore all the upgrades and innovations on their favourite models, or to start the process as a new buyer, the show offers a clear, direct and no-nonsense approach to the process.

“We’re delivering another fantastic year for buyers,” says Scott Farquharson, MDL’s Ocean Village Marina manager. “Yet again we’re bringing a wealth of global brands to Southampton and we will welcome visitors from across the UK. This is the only south coast show to focus on 20-60 foot boats and it has already gained a reputation as being a safe haven for buyers, away from the milling crowds.”
