The 2026 Southampton International Boat Show will take place at Mayflower Park from September 18 to September 27, 2026. This 57th edition of the festival in Southampton, Hampshire, is organised by British Marine and is expected to attract around 100,000 visitors to the city.
Organisers have opened the online booking portal for the event, with ticket prices starting from £13 for those who secured their places during the early launch phase. Residents and visitors can now buy their tickets through the official partner See Tickets to plan their visit to the large on-water marina.
The ten-day event provides a significant financial boost to local shops, hotels, and transport services by bringing millions of pounds into the area. Major boat builders like Princess Yachts and Sunseeker will use the show to display their latest models to the public.
The waterfront will be filled with more than 350 boats, ranging from small watercraft to luxury yachts. Visitors can also take part in interactive activities, including watersports and special boat trial sessions that allow people to get out on the water.
