Ocean Village Marina during South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show from the air, Southampton

MDL Marinas has announced the expansion of its South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show, set to take place from 9-11 May 2025 at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton. The event, now in its fifth year, will feature an extended waterside exhibition area opposite the popular Banana Wharf restaurant, accommodating a broader and more diverse selection of boats, including motor yachts, sailing vessels, RIBs, and sustainable marine technologies.

The expanded show promises to be the largest to date, with additional space to showcase the latest in electric and eco-friendly boating innovations. Exhibitors already signed up include Arcona/SE Yachts, Dufour/Universal Yachting, Beneteau and Lagoon/Ancasta, Pure Latitude Boat Club, Windy/Saltwater Solutions, Viggo Boats and Pantaenius Yacht Insurance. 

Taking place slightly later in the season to capture the warmer weather, the show will host a vast array of on-water and shoreside exhibitors.

Guided by Raymarine, the three-day event will also feature 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. 

Throughout the show, visitors will be able to enjoy live demonstrations from leading brands.

“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, 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.”

Entry to the show is free and tickets will be available from 15 December 2024. Visitors will also be able to schedule appointments to view specific boats or meet with individual exhibitors.
