A Broader Showcase of Motor Yachts
With only one week to go before kick off at the British Motor Yacht Show at Swanwick Marina, do register for tickets here, plus take a look at the official show map.
While traditionally associated with large luxury yachts, this year’s show reflects increasing interest in smaller vessels that offer accessibility, versatility and style. Several global and UK premieres will highlight this shift, catering to new buyers and seasoned owners alike.
Key Debuts and Featured Models
Among the major unveilings is the world debut of the Rib-X Phaeton 760, a 300hp RIB with sleek styling and a premium finish, presented by Vortec Marine. The NAVAN S30, from Scandinavian brand NAVAN, makes its UK debut, brought by Aberstoch Land and Sea. Built for all-weather performance, it reflects the appeal of multipurpose, adventure-ready boats.
The Bellini Astor 36 is a 36-foot Mediterranean-style day cruiser, combining refined aesthetics with performance and handling. Features include a spacious forward sunpad, a premium upholstered cockpit layout, and a well-appointed cabin with overnight capacity. The model is designed for coastal cruising with comfort and flair, targeting boaters seeking a balance between luxury and usability.
Also featured is the Saxdor 340 GTWA, a twin-engine day boat with expanding terraces, and the Rustler 41, marking Rustler Yachts’ first motor yacht in 40 years. Cockwells will showcase the Duchy 35 and Hardy 45, blending traditional design with modern capability. SE Yachts will debut Delta Powerboats.
Additional brands presenting compact models include Protector, Williams Jet Tenders, SUR Marine, Hinckley, Kawasaki, Sealine, Sea Ray, Galeon, XO Boats, and Rustler.
A Show for Today’s Boaters
A show spokesperson said: “Boaters are increasingly looking for motor yachts that balance innovation, style and practicality. These compact vessels are low-maintenance, easy to transport, and offer great flexibility.”
Curated by Premier Marinas with Sunseeker, Fairline, and Princess Yachts, the show is open by registration only and offers a relaxed, appointment-led format.
