As spring reaches its full swing and the on-water season picks up pace, one event in the United Kingdom draws the attention of the most discerning boating enthusiasts. From 14 to 17 May 2026, we invite you to the British Motor Yacht Show, taking place at Swanwick Marina on the picturesque River Hamble, just a few miles from Southampton. Virtue Yachts will be among the exhibitors.
British Motor Yacht Show 2026 – Event like no other
If you have grown tired of the noise and crowds of large-scale exhibitions, the British Motor Yacht Show is the perfect answer. This event sets itself apart from conventional mass trade fairs by embracing a boutique format and an exceptionally intimate, relaxed atmosphere. It is an exclusive space created for those who are seriously considering purchasing a luxury motorboat, offering the opportunity to explore dream models in a calm and unhurried environment.
Importantly, admission to the show is completely free of charge. However, prior registration is required in order to attend and receive a visitor pass. Organisers also encourage visitors to book individual meetings with exhibitors in advance, allowing them to make the most of their time at the marina.
Virtue Yachts with dealers
Virtue Yachts could not be absent from such a gathering of world-class brands and luxury motorboats! This year, we will be present at the show together with our British partners from Bates Wharf and Global Yachts UK. At our stand, we will be showcasing two models from the flagship V10 series, each perfectly suited to the diverse needs of modern boating:
Virtue V10 Top – Our absolute bestseller and the embodiment of sporting elegance. This premium day cruiser with a rigid T-Top hardtop strikes the ideal balance between sun and shade on the open deck. Powered by twin 300 hp engines and featuring the innovative Swedish Petestep hull technology, the boat cuts through the waves smoothly and quietly, reaching speeds of over 110 km/h. It is the perfect choice for action-packed day trips with family and friends.
Virtue V10 Cabin – This model is for those whose plans do not depend on the weather forecast, a boat practically made for the unpredictable British climate. The V10 Cabin is a fully year-round vessel, equipped with an enclosed cabin with a headroom of 1.95 m, a heating and air conditioning system, a full-size bed, a separate toilet, and a Webasto sliding glass roof. In short, it is your true luxury home on the water, ready for multi-day getaways.
