Southampton Boat Show 2025 did not disappoint. Sunshine (mostly), busy pontoons, and a fantastic crowd. We met visitors from every corner of the UK, plus some Scandinavians, Europeans, and even a few Americans – all united by one thing: a shared love of being on the water.
This year’s show welcomed over 91,200 visitors, who enjoyed a whole host of in, on and under water activities, bustling feature zones, and packed stages. Over 50 world and UK premieres were unveiled across the showground and marina, including our very own stock Merry Fisher 1295 Coupe!
It wouldn’t be a true boat show without a bit of wind and rain to keep us on our toes, but spirits stayed high throughout. Our Jeanneau, Highfield and Nimbus ranges drew plenty of attention… and more than a few new owners.

The show was so successful that new orders for popular models are already booking out as far as May/June 2026. If you’re thinking about upgrading or changing boats for next season, now’s the time to get in touch. Production slots at the Highfield, Nimbus, and Jeanneau factories are filling fast, and there aren’t many left for the 2026 season.
It was a brilliant show all round, full of energy, great conversations, and new connections. We’re now back in Brightlingsea organising handovers, following up on enquiries, and already thinking ahead to next year.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stands – customers old and new, our fantastic brand partners, and all the boat lovers who make this show what it is.
