Two Shows, One City
Your Chance to Step Aboard with Ancasta This September
If you’ve been dreaming of your next yacht, this September is your perfect moment. We’re showcasing a fantastic range of boats at two incredible events in Southampton, giving you twice the opportunity to explore, compare, and find the boat that’s right for you.
From the excitement of the Southampton International Boat Show to the relaxed, boutique atmosphere of Ancasta’s Autumn Show at Swanwick Marina, you can step aboard an exceptional range of yachts – all in one city, all in one week.
“Without doubt, the most effective way to decide if a yacht is right for you and your family is to experience it first-hand,” says Will Blair, Ancasta’s Group Marketing Director.
“We’re offering serious buyers two amazing chances to get onboard a diverse collection of boats designed for every kind of on-water adventure, from relaxed weekends afloat to extended offshore cruising. It’s about helping you make the right ownership choices to get out on the water on the best boat for your lifestyle.”
