Setting Course for Southampton: Tingdene at the 2025 Boat Show

 

We’re thrilled to announce that Tingdene Marinas & Boat Sales Ltd. is gearing up for another standout presence at the Southampton International Boat Show, from 19th to 28th September 2025 at Mayflower Park, Southampton.

Last year, the show dazzled with over 100,300 visitors, 650 craft on display, a refreshed marina layout, and the vibrant “Shipyard” entertainment area featuring live music and expert talks.

Tingdene’s fleet of inland cruisers, along with our Marinas & Boat Sales stand, drew in a fantastic mix of new and familiar faces. The energy and engagement throughout truly captured the spirit of what the Southampton Boat Show is all about. And this year promises even more excitement…

What Tingdene Will Bring to the Show

 

You’ll find us not just on the water but also on land at our dedicated Marinas & Boat Sales stand, where we’ll be showcasing the full scope of what Tingdene has to offer. From long-term moorings and marina memberships to used boat brokerage services and more. Whether you’re looking to buy, berth, or simply browse, our friendly team will be on hand to help guide your next adventure.

Just like in previous years, expect Tingdene to showcase a standout selection of boats, highlighting both new and used models, and offering visitors the chance to connect with our experienced team and learn more about our network of marinas. This year, we’re excited to bring along two exceptional models:

‘Discover Britain’s Inland Waterways’

 

Alongside our land and water stands, we’ll also be supporting the ‘Discover Britain’s Inland Waterways’ initiative at stand A070/A065. Teaming up with fellow inland industry bodies, our knowledgeable crew will be on hand to share invaluable insights into the world of inland boating, and how Tingdene can make the experience smooth and enjoyable for every boater, whatever their skill level.

With 12 inland marinas and decades of hands-on expertise, we’re here to help you soak up as much knowledge as possible. Come and explore the pleasures of cruising Britain’s inland waterways with the Tingdene team.

 

Are you brilliant at berthing?

 

Roll up, roll up! Visit us at stand P194 during the show and take part in our live berthing challenge – where you could win a boat!

We’ve got five boats ready for you to manoeuvre into our hand-built mini-marina. It’s your chance to put your boating skills to the test on a scale you never imagined!

(And yes – it’s remote control boats, so no need to worry about bumps and scrapes!)

 

 

Rebel Ribs at the Southampton Boat Show

 

Among your show plans, make sure to stop by Stand 222, where our Farndon Marina Manager, Alex, will be proudly flying the Tingdene flag and talking all things RIBs.

Rebel RIBs are a brand-new addition to the Tingdene Boat Sales line-up, bringing an exciting new proposition for both seasoned boaters and those looking for their first craft. Known for their lightweight design, stability, and durability, RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) offer excellent performance on both open water and inland waterways.

The versatility of a RIB makes it perfect for those who enjoy all kinds of boating — or for newcomers still discovering their preferred pace on the water. With a RIB, you can experience the very best of boating while keeping maintenance low and commitment light:

  • Exceptional manoeuvrability – ideal for exploring those hidden coves, beach landings, or navigating narrower inland channels with confidence.
  • Stability and safety – their robust hull design and thoughtful layouts make them a reassuring choice for families, anglers, or anyone enjoying water sports.
  • Low maintenance – constructed with tough, durable materials, Rebel RIBs are built to withstand the everyday knocks from docks, pontoons, and regular use.
  • Easy transportation – lightweight yet strong, these boats can be launched single-handedly, making them a flexible option for spontaneous adventures.

Whether you’re dreaming of weekend exploring or practical, year-round utility, Rebel RIBs deliver versatility in spades. Come along, meet Alex, and see why this new range is making waves for Tingdene.
