South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show returns

The 2026 South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show will return to Ocean Village Marina in Southampton from 8-10 May, with a strong focus on greener boating technology and more efficient ways to enjoy life on the water.

The show will bring together boaters, families and marine industry experts to explore new products, onboard systems and practical solutions designed to support more sustainable boating.

Fischer Panda UK highlights greener power

A key part of this year’s Green Tech focus will be Fischer Panda UK | Power Solutions, which will showcase its latest innovation and introduce a new partnership linked to an energy-efficient watermaker system for the marine market.

The Dorset-based family business supplies integrated onboard systems, including electric propulsion, hybrid power, solar integration, fuel cells and advanced energy storage. Its appearance follows its Green Innovator Award win at last year’s show.

Expert talks and Green Innovator Award

Visitors will be able to compare boats on the water, meet green technology exhibitors and attend expert-led talks and live discussions. MDL’s Green Innovator Award also returns for 2026, recognising businesses working in marine sustainability.

Fischer Panda UK | Power Solutions will take part in the on-stage programme, with a session exploring complete onboard power systems, including power generation, energy management, air-conditioning and watermakers.

Following last year’s Green Innovator Award win, we’re excited to return to the South Coast & Green Tech Boat Show and continue building on that momentum. Our team is passionate about exploring emerging technologies and helping customers better balance onboard energy consumption while future-proofing their systems.

The show provides the ideal platform to introduce a new brand partnership that complements our range and supports a more sustainable approach to onboard power management.
