This year the Southampton Boat Show 2018 will celebrate 50 years of boating festivities. The show runs from Friday 14th September until Sunday 23rd September and, as usual, will be located at the Mayflower Park venue as it has been for the last 50 years.
As many of you will now be aware, the London Boat Show 2019 has been cancelled. Whether this is going to be a permanent fixture still remains to be seen but it was not a shock to many in the Marine industry.
