Boat and equipment sales rise at Finland’s Uiva Flytande show
Uiva Flytande drew over 10,000 visitors to Helsinki, with strong sales for Axopar, Buster and Saxdor signalling a market recovery.
Premier Marinas have unveiled their events programme for 2018.
To celebrate the start of the season, Swanwick Marina is set for two shows in one at Easter as it confirms it will host its annual Motorboat & RIB Show (31 March to 1 April) running alongside a pre-season general boat show from 30 March to 2 April.
The Motorboat & RIB Show will showcase all types of stackable boats up to 11m, including sports boats, RIBs and fishing boats, and the four-day pre-season show will include a line-up of larger new and used boats, exhibited on and off the water.
These free-admission shows will be followed by a boat show at Chichester Marina (21–22 April) and the British Motor Yacht Show (18–20 May), which brings together three of the biggest names in British motor yacht sales – Fairline, Princess and Sunseeker.
Other programme highlights include a wide range of RYA Active Marina events in collaboration with local partnerships, including a talk by Tom Cunliffe at Brighton Marina Yacht Club on 24 March, and a safety weekend in April at Eastbourne Marina.
