A HIAB crane lorry, 18t flatbed and an artic curtain side lorry have already been booked in advance for a client making deliveries to the Southampton boat show which is taking place this year 16th – 25th September 2016.
Every September sees the annual ‘Southampton Boat Show’ which is the biggest water based boat show in Europe and is held in Mayflower Park.
This year it’s bigger and better than ever! Each day the Festival Stage will open up with a fashion show, followed by live music and at the weekends the show organisers will be asking visitors to come and prepare for a Guinness World Record attempt to create a picture of a boat using people! This is a unique opportunity to be part of history and be part of something special.
The Festival Stage area is also the home to the Guinness Bar and the Food Village – it’s the place to relax in a deck chair, rock out or simply meet with friends for a chat and bite to eat. There is also a Sandpit in the Festival Stage Area- buckets and spades will be provided as will beach Jenga and Connect 4!
In 2007, the show boasted a chance for spectators to see HMS Bounty which was featured in the film Pirates of the Caribbean!
Southampton Boat Show has the world’s largest purpose built marina with over 2km of pontoons, which display more than 350 boats over 10 days!
This year one of the stars of the show will be the tall ship Artemis – Artemis is probably one of the most luxurious and elegant sailing vessels in Europe today, with a large well deck and raised aft deck, a forward deck saloon and an enormous saloon aft with its own bar that provides an excellent venue for all types of function. The decoration is to the very highest standards, with highly polished fine wood veneered panels, brasswork and deep velvet upholstery reflecting the traditional style of the world’s most lavish ocean liners.
We regularly make deliveries to ports, boatyards, docks and marinas to assist with deliveries,collectionss and lifting requirements.
