The ticket also provides access to the British Marine Trade Lounge, which offers space to meet, work, take breaks or access complimentary hot drinks.
Ticket holders can also attend Trade Tuesday, scheduled for Tuesday 23 September in the Trade Lounge. This event features talks, sector-specific insights and opportunities for networking.
“We’re delighted to introduce the trade ticket for 2025, giving industry professionals more flexibility, more time and more opportunity to make the most of their visit,” says Lesley Robinson, CEO of British Marine. “With the added bonus of access to Trade Tuesday, this ticket offers exceptional value for anyone working in the marine sector.”

The 2025 edition of SIBS promises an ‘exciting transformation’ this year, according to British Marine, introducing a revised site plan, a new entrance on Mayflower Park and several newly designated areas.
The event – heading into its 56th edition – will host a broad range of on-water and on-land exhibitions, showcasing products and services from paddleboards and dinghies to superyachts and marine technologies. The list of exhibiting brands is not confirmed but is expected to be announced shortly.
