First boats craned into position 

As Earls Court prepares for the arrival of hundreds of boats over the coming weeks, the first two arrivals were craned delicately into position on Monday 10th November. Two Linetti sports boats from Gibbs Marine were positioned at the entrance as onlookers stopped in amazement to see the display take shape.

Highlights of the 2008 Show include the World's biggest boat auction, the Yachtworld Brokers Village, a Powerboat Display featuring stars of the recent Round Britain Powerboat Race, the 'Rail Masters' live wakeboarding event, yachts afloat on the central pool marina, the famous GUINNESS Bar and a display of marine art.

Within the Show you'll be able to discover different zones featuring dinghies, rigid inflatable boats, destinations & charters, clothing, inland waterways and classic wooden boats. It's the perfect family day out to do all your Christmas shopping under one roof, and children under 16 have FREE admission!
