Following the triumph of previous years, BoatLife 2024 is set to make a big impact with an even more impressive display of over 210+ boats and brands.

With this dynamic showcase of the boating lifestyle, so easily accessible under one roof, what’s not to like!
So, what’s in store?
The fabulous powerboat and RIB sector will present a vast cross-section of top quality brands for adventure and leisure boaters. Visitors can expect to see an even more diverse choice of powerboats and RIBs than before, the majority in the sub-40ft market and easily trailerable. Whether looking for a coastline cruiser, nimble fishing craft or a speedy runaround, this area is packed with choices for beginners through to experienced boaters.
Returning again is the vibrant Angling Zone – a hotspot to celebrate our great national pastime! Ideal for seasoned anglers and beginners alike, it will highlight the extensive opportunities available for fishing across a broad range of relevant boats, equipment and suppliers. There will be some well-known ambassadors from the angling community to meet; ready to answer questions, have a chat and share their amazing knowledge.
For those looking to explore the wonderful world of Britain’s waterways, the Inland Zone will host more than seven boats on display, highlighting both contemporary and traditional designs. Visitors can become immersed in the world of barges, widebeams, narrowboats, river cruisers and holiday companies at leisure, with experts ready to assist. Some notable ambassadors will also be available to talk about their waterways lifestyle firsthand.
The Live Stage will host a fabulous programme of talks and discussions and the days are themed for the first time – covering innovation, wellness, discovery and sustainability. Listen to anecdotes from world-record holder Jasmine Harrison, and Ken Fowler, the first person to sail around every island in England and Wales.
