Next year’s event will feature an extended waterside area

The UK’s MDL Marinas has announced the expansion of the 2025 South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show, taking place from 9-11 May at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton. Next year’s event will feature an extended waterside area opposite the Banana Wharf restaurant, providing the perfect backdrop for a larger and more diverse fleet of boats.

“We’re thrilled with the new extension, which will help us meet the demand from the ever-growing number of boating brands eager to exhibit at the show,” says Tim Mayer, sales and marketing director at MDL Marinas.

“Our South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show has seen an increase in exhibitors year-on-year, and 2025 looks to be shaping up to be our best year yet. The new extension is an integral part of this growth, enabling visitors and serious buyers to step aboard even more vessels from some of the most renowned boating brands in the marine industry.”

Taking place slightly later in the season to capture the warmer weather, the show will play host to a vast array of on-water and shoreside exhibitors, showcasing motorboats, sailing yachts, RIBs and the latest in electric and sustainable marine technologies.

There will also be a variety of talks at the Innovation Hub on the main stage. Experts will cover a wide range of topics, from cutting-edge sustainability initiatives to innovative ocean preservation strategies, along with expert-led panel discussions with Q&As.

Exhibitors already signed up for the 2025 event include Arcona/SE Yachts, Dufour/Universal Yachting, Beneteau and Lagoon/Ancasta, Pure Latitude Boat Club, Windy/Saltwater Solutions, Viggo Boats and Pantaenius Yacht Insurance.
