The South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show 2026
Held at Ocean Village Marina, Southampton, this year’s show will feature its largest-ever lineup of vessels – from superyachts to cutting-edge electric boats and the very latest in sustainable marine technology.
Last year’s edition welcomed more than 5,000 visitors.
The Innovation Hub returns, hosting a series of expert-led talks and panel discussions focused on sustainability, ocean preservation and the future of boating. Highlights include sessions on preparing vessels for long-distance cruising and embracing greener technologies.
Visitors can also enjoy live demonstrations from leading marine brands, hands-on tech experiences and a vibrant shoreside atmosphere.
“We’ve worked hard to make this year’s show bigger and better than ever, with a great mix of boats, new technology and things to see and do across the marina,” says Bright. “It’s a brilliant chance to get up close to the latest models, pick up expert advice and just enjoy a really good day out by the water.”
