2026 Show Map Published
With just days to go until the British Motor Yacht Show returns to Premier’s Swanwick Marina, final preparations are underway as the show map is released and a number of exciting UK and European debuts are confirmed for the 2026 edition.
Running from Thursday 14 – Sunday 17 May, the appointment-led boat show will once again bring together many of the world’s most prestigious motor yacht brands alongside a carefully selected collection of leading marine service providers – creating a relaxed yet highly considered environment for serious buyers and those exploring the latest developments in luxury motor yacht ownership.
Hosted once again by Premier Marinas at its motor boat hub at Swanwick Marina on the River Hamble, this year’s event will feature more than 70 luxury motor yachts on display, including several major launches making their UK debut.
Founding partners lead the line-up
Founding partners of the show Fairline, Princess and Sunseeker will once again headline the event with some of the largest and most impressive displays on the water.
Fairline returns with a major showcase for 2026, including the all-new Targa 47 GT, the new 2026 Targa 50 Edition and the Squadron 58, Targa 40 and Targa 45 Open – offering visitors the opportunity to explore the breadth of the British builder’s latest range in one location.
Princess Motor Yacht Sales will present its largest display ever at the British Motor Yacht Show, showcasing a substantial line-up including the F50, F58, F65, S65, V50 and V55.
Princess will also be highlighting its shared ownership opportunities during the show, including the Princess Y72 shared yacht ownership programme.
Meanwhile, Sunseeker will showcase a striking line-up demonstrating breadth of the Sunseeker range from sleek performance-focused sports yachts through to spacious long-range cruising models inlcuding the Manhattan 55, Manhattan 68, Predator 55, Predator 75, Superhawk 55, Ocean 82 Enclosed and 90 Ocean.
Major UK debuts from across Europe
Among the headline arrivals is the Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin, making its UK debut at the British Motor Yacht Show. Designed for all-weather adventures and versatile coastal cruising, the model combines Axopar’s distinctive walkaround design with enclosed comfort and flexible social spaces.
Visitors will also be able to step aboard the very first Marex 380 to arrive in the UK. Built in Norway by Marex Boats, the Marex 380 has already attracted significant attention across Europe for its innovative use of space, all-weather capability and refined Scandinavian finish.
Ancasta, Europe’s leading yacht sales and services group, will also present several significant launches within its line-up, including the UK debut of the Swan Shadow. At 43ft, the Swan Shadow is a versatile and highly customisable chase boat, featuring a step-free walkaround deck, modular layout options and powerful outboard performance integrated into a spacious open stern design.
Beneteau will also unveil two important UK debuts through Ancasta’s display: the Swift Trawler 37 and the Gran Turismo 35.
The Swift Trawler 37 combines efficient cruising with intelligent use of space, offering practical long-range comfort and easy handling for extended time afloat.
Meanwhile, the Gran Turismo 35 delivers a more contemporary and sporty boating experience, pairing sleek styling with adaptable social spaces and bright, modern interiors designed for relaxed coastal cruising and weekends on the water.
Will Blair, Group Marketing Director at Ancasta, said:
“If you’re considering a power boat purchase for the 2026 season, the British Motor Yacht Show represents one of the most focused opportunities in the UK. At this year’s show, we have a broad selection of turnkey motor yachts available to view for immediate delivery, reflecting both the strength and diversity of our power portfolio.
“Just as importantly, the show’s appointment-only format allows clients to explore each model in depth, supported by our knowledgeable brokers in a relaxed, considered environment.”
Graham Bristowe, Marina Manager at Premier’s Swanwick Marina, said:

Alongside the boats themselves, the show will feature a handpicked selection of marine service providers spanning finance, insurance, marina services and technical expertise – reflecting the wider ownership journey, whether visitors are buying for the first time, upgrading or exploring new opportunities within the market.
