The PSP Southampton Boat Show at Mayflower Park will showcase everything you need to enjoy life on the high seas from 16-25 September. With hundreds of exhibitors ranging from yachts, motorboats and dinghies to charter holidays and training courses, there is no better time to explore everything the boating world has to offer!

The show is an ideal environment to get on the water and try boating first hand. Get Afloat with Rockley Watersports allows 8-16 year olds to test their sea legs with a qualified instructor. Try-a-Boat with Onthewater.co.uk encourages all visitors to jump aboard a range of boats for free and Try-a-Dive with Andark is the place to get fully immersed with diving professionals.

Adult tickets can be purchased in advance of the show from just £16, with two children going free with each paying adult. For those in search of an extra special day out, the Platinum Experience includes a luxury powerboat ride and access to the exclusive VIP lounge plus lunch and refreshments, all from £105.
