MDL marina to host three-day boat show

ponsored by TBS Boats, the Thames Valley Boat Show will take place at MDL’s Penton Hook Marina from 9-11 July,
following its postponement earlier this year. This exclusive three-day show at
Britain’s largest inland marina is an ideal opportunity for high-quality power boats to be showcased to an audience ready to purchase and wanting to get afloat straight away or within the next 6-18 months. MDL’s Penton Hook Marina is set in 80 acres and offers 575 berths. Situated on one of the most picturesque reaches of the River Thames, close to the vibrant town of Staines-on-Thames, it’s perfect for hosting a show aimed at attracting serious buyers. Free to attend, but by appointment
only, the Chertsey-based event has already attracted a wide variety of boating brands both ashore and afloat, including Williams Jet Tenders, Kawasaki watercraft, Viking, Maxima, Sealine, Quicksilver, Cranchi and Ranieri, with many brands offering immediate
delivery or part exchange deals to allow buyers to set sail this Spring. An extensive range of land-
based exhibitors has also signed up to promote their products and services, including chandlery, marine engineering, clothing brands, insurance and finance companies. Following the success of the first
show, dealers are looking forward to this year’s show at a time when boating and watersports are more popular than ever. “The show is perfect for those

Working in partnership with Southampton City Council, British Marine is pleased to confirm that additional land has been agreed for use at the show, making it bigger than ever before.
