Ben Nichols, Clipper Marine, commented: “We are really excited to finally have a dedicated boat show catering for the North of England – it will be great to be back in the Midlands to meet all those boaters who don’t make it down to the Southampton Boat show and other southern shows. Stock is very scarce at the moment, but we will have boats on display for immediate delivery.”

The exhibitors are keen to help people make the best decision for their next boat or kit, an ideal place to ask questions, get advice and do your research.
