All these will be back for this years show plus several new attractions.

Exhibitor and visitor attendances for the last two South Wales boat shows has very been impressive, Being Wales's premier Boat Show there is so much choice for visitors with national and international brands. Last year during the boat show weekend the exhibitors collectively sold over £2,200,000 of boats, equipment and services.

One of our Welsh Boat sales Companies, Cardiff Bay boat sales recorded the biggest individual sale of the South Wales boat show with a £180,000 Sealine powerboat and several more confirmed orders. The success of the biggest Welsh boat show didn't stop there either; Cambrian again sold over 6 craft. Generally all exhibitors reported excellent sales and many took confirmed orders for craft at the show. The end result meaning that most have rebooked along with several new companies who are looking forward to welcoming you on their stands at this years show in June!!!.
