The UK’s inaugural Swanwick Yachting Showcase will see 30 new yachts and more than 20 brokerage boats spanning sail, power and catamarans on display.
The line-up features models from some of the world’s leading yacht brands, including Jeanneau, Beneteau, Dufour, Bavaria, Sanlorenzo, Bluegame, Lagoon, Prestige, Fountaine Pajot, Excess Catamarans, Greenline, Regal, Rhéa Marine and Bali Catamarans.
Exhibitors will include Universal Yachting following its appointment as the new sole UK dealer for Rhéa Marine.
“There is a lot for us to look forward to at the inaugural showcase,” said Chris Warwick, managing director of Universal Yachting.
“The Rhéa 23 Origine has only just arrived in the UK, so for many visitors this will be their first opportunity to step onboard and see the boat for themselves.”
Sea trials
M.i.Cats, the UK dealer for Fountaine Pajot, will display the FP41 during the showcase and will also offer sea trials following the event a couple of models.
“This type of event gives us the time and space to have meaningful conversations with genuine prospective boat buyers in a relaxed, focused environment,” said Carl Livett of M.i.Cats.
“It allows us to better understand each client’s needs, answer their questions, and provide a more personal experience than is often possible at a busy boat show.”
The showcase will also see a substantial presence from Clipper Marine, representing Bavaria Yachts across sail and power alongside Greenline Yachts, Regal Boats and Bali Catamarans.
Sea Ventures will show the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350, 415 and 455 alongside the Excess Catamaran 11 with the showcase marking the UK debuts of both the Sun Odyssey 415 and 455.
Cross-section
And Ancasta will display ten new yachts across six power, sail and catamaran brands through Ancasta Group company Sanlorenzo Yachts UK.
“We’ll be showcasing a broad cross-section of what buyers are looking for today, from sail and power through to catamarans and larger motor yachts,” said Stuart Brotherton, sales director of Ancasta.
“For buyers who have spent the summer thinking about what comes next, the showcase is an opportunity to turn that research into something much more tangible.”
The event will take place at Swanwick Marina, Hampshire, from 19–27 September 2026. Attendance is free by appointment.
The Swanwick Yachting Showcase is a collaborative event hosted by yacht sales and brokerage businesses based at Swanwick Marina.
