It's a live event with a ‘Top 100' boats for sale, including dinghies, canoes, RIBs, sports boats, family cruisers, tenders, jet-skis, motor boats, classic yachts and powerboats. It's an opportunity for our visitors to buy every type of boat, from modern day cruisers to classic powerboats and historic racing yachts.

The RIB International RIB Zone will host a display of RIBs, from the latest expedition craft to RIBs that are suitable for family cruising. Brands such as Cougar, Scorpion, Aquaflyte, Red Bay & Hunton will form part of an impressive display.

London's Biggest Powerboat Display

Following the launch of the 2008 Round Britain Offshore Power Boat Race at Earls Court in December last year, Lord Beaverbrook, custodian of the famous Beaverbrook Trophy, will become the Patron of an impressive display of power boats, an area that is being designed and opened by Steve Curtis, eight-times World Class 1 Champion.

The display will include Team 747 from Swordsman Marine, Team Scorpion Dubois, Swipe Wipes and Silverline, as well as a selection of winning boats from the Honda Formula 4-stroke Powerboat Series.

Engines

A powerboat display wouldn't be complete without a choice of engines, and leading products such as Yamaha, Mercury, Mariner, Honda, Yanmar and Cummins will complement the display of race boats.

Dinghy Zone sponsored by Dinghy Sailing Magazine

The Dinghy Zone will feature a display of racing dinghies including Championship and Olympic dinghies and starter dinghies that are ideal for entry level sailing. This zone will be opened by some of our 2008 Olympic heroes and heroines to help us all to inspire and encourage a new generation to participate in our sport.

Inland Waterways World

The Inland Waterways World at Earls Court will reflect the way of life experienced on the network of canals and rivers around the UK, with family entertainment and a good selection of canal boats to buy.

Central Pool Marina

The famous Central Pool in Earls Court 1 will be filled to create a Marina with fully rigged yachts as a central feature of the show. The marina will host live entertainment throughout the show featuring modern day racing yachts as well as small family cruisers.

The GUINNESS Bar

We've brought the GUINNESS Bar into Earls Court 1 to take up a central location; we couldn't have a show without it and it's sure to be a popular meeting point.
