Supported by headline sponsor DF Capital, Trade Tuesday has established itself as a key fixture in the show’s professional calendar.

Open to boatbuilders, brokers, marina operators, suppliers, and service providers across the sector, the half-day programme offers a focused environment for industry engagement, knowledge sharing, and strategic discussion.

This year’s agenda and highlights include a series of expert-led talks, one on AI, and panel discussions on media success. Updates from British Marine will also be featured, along with networking sessions, all designed to explore challenges, innovations, and commercial opportunities across the marine landscape.

Lyndsay McClay, chair, British Marine South & British Marine president elect, comments: “Trade Tuesday is a fantastic opportunity for the industry to come together, share knowledge, and explore how we can grow stronger collectively. Whether you’re a seasoned business leader or new to the sector, there’s something here for everyone.”
