This year’s Southampton International Boat Show, taking place from September 13th to 22nd, will welcome yachting enthusiasts to explore over 350 of the world’s most prestigious boats in a new, purpose-built marina. The marina is being redesigned for 2024 to showcase boats by type, making it easier for visitors to navigate and compare different models.
The largest sailing yacht at the show, the Oyster 565, measures just over 59ft (18.09m) and is perfect for blue-water sailing. Also on display will be the Nautor Swan Swan 48, a MkII version of the successful new generation of Swan 48s. Hanse Yachts will debut the new Hanse 360 among other models, while Dufour Yachts will showcase the Dufour 37, Dufour 41, and the new Dufour 44 along with their innovative SMART electric propulsion system.
Visitors can expect to see models from Beneteau, Jeanneau, Elan, and Moody, among others. Swallow Yachts will present the Bay Cruiser 21, known for its water ballast system and full carbon rig. French sailboat manufacturer RM Yachts will display the RM1380, and Transworld Yachts will showcase Hallberg-Rassy models.
Representing Dutch standards, Contest Yachts will exhibit the Contest 50CS. Saffier Yachts will introduce the SE24 Lite alongside other models. Leading brands such as Bavaria, Rustler, Arcona, and Najad will also be featured in the marina.
The Classic & Day Boat Zone and Dinghy Zone will highlight traditional vessels and user-friendly boats, respectively. Yachting Monthly is sponsoring events at the show and welcomes attendees to meet their team. For more information about the Southampton Boat Show, visit their website.
