Registration opens for the British Motor Yacht Show 2026

Welcoming our Main Sponsors: CGI Finance and Pelican Insured – supporting informed luxury motor yacht and motor boat ownership

As registration officially opens for the British Motor Yacht Show 2026, we’re delighted to also confirm our Main Sponsors for the upcoming show: CGI Finance and Pelican Insured.

Returning to Premier Marinas’ Swanwick Marina on the River Hamble from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 May 2026, the British Motor Yacht Show enters its 13th year as one of the UK’s most distinctive and respected luxury motor boat shows, dedicated exclusively to motor yachts.

Designed for those considering luxury motor boat ownership in the UK and beyond, the show brings together leading yacht builders, brokers and marine specialists in a carefully curated environment that supports confident, well-informed decision-making.

A show designed for meaningful decisions

Positioned at the start of the European boating season, the British Motor Yacht Show offers a calm, appointment-led experience created for serious buyers and industry professionals. Time, space and quality conversations sit at the heart of the event – allowing visitors to explore luxury motor yachts, ask informed questions and engage with trusted experts without the pressure of crowds.

Founded by Premier Marinas, Princess Yachts, Fairline and Sunseeker, the show was created as a deliberate alternative to large-scale commercial boat shows. From the outset, its focus has been on craftsmanship, innovation and meaningful engagement – an ethos that remains central to the event today.

What to expect in 2026

While the full exhibitor line-up for 2026 will be announced in the coming months, visitors can once again expect a curated selection of the world’s most prestigious motor yacht brands, alongside a hand-picked group of specialist marine service providers.

The appointment-led format allows registered visitors to plan their time in advance, booking private viewings and one-to-one discussions with manufacturers, brokers and trusted specialists across finance, insurance and marine services – whether purchasing a first luxury motor yacht, upgrading an existing boat, or planning future motor yacht ownership.

Supporting informed ownership decisions

The continued support of CGI Finance, joined for the first time by Pelican Insured, reflects the British Motor Yacht Show’s reputation as a trusted platform for informed ownership decisions.

CGI Finance returns as a long-standing supporter of the show, recognised for its expertise in motor yacht finance and its commitment to helping buyers navigate significant purchasing decisions with confidence. Pelican Insured joins the show for 2026, bringing specialist knowledge in marine insurance and risk management to complement the show’s professional, buyer-focused environment.

Together, our Main Sponsors share the show’s commitment to expertise, professionalism and creating an atmosphere where conversations are unhurried, approachable and genuinely valuable.

A setting that speaks for itself

Hosted at Premier Marinas’ Swanwick Marina, the show benefits from one of the UK’s most prestigious yachting destinations. The marina’s waterside setting provides a natural and elegant backdrop for showcasing luxury motor yachts afloat — reinforcing the refined, relaxed tone that sets the British Motor Yacht Show apart.
