MDL Marinas offers UK boat viewings during boot Düsseldorf

As the marine industry turns its attention to boot Düsseldorf next week, we are offering a compelling alternative much closer to home. From 17–25 January, we will host exclusive viewings across selected UK marinas, giving visitors the chance to step on board a wide range of boats without the cost or commitment of travelling to Germany, including models not on display at boot Düsseldorf.

Running alongside the Düsseldorf show, which opens on 17 January, on-site brokers will be offering private, appointment-led viewings at our Hamble and Ocean Village marinas in Southampton, as well as Penton Hook and Bray marinas on the River Thames. With multiple brands available across each location, visitors can also compare different boats in a single visit, taking time to explore each model properly and speak directly with authorised brokers in a relaxed and unrushed setting.

Boat shows offer a convenient way to see a myriad of boats all in one space, but it’s not always practical for everyone to travel. Instead, we’re offering visitors a real-world experience – getting on the boats, opening lockers, sitting at the helm and having proper conversations with brokers. It’s straightforward, convenient and often a much better way to decide if a boat is right for you.

Boat viewings
There is a wide range of boats available to view across all three of our River Hamble marinas in Southampton: Hamble Point, Port Hamble and Mercury. These include world-renowned brands Arcona Yachts, Beneteau Sail, Chaparral, Dehler, Delta Powerboats, Dufour, Finnmaster, Hanse, Lagoon, Moody, Navan, Nord Star, Prestige, Protector Boats, RYCK, Sargo, Saxdor Yachts, Sealine, SUR Marine Luxury Tenders and XO Crossover.

Meanwhile, our iconic Ocean Village Marina will be showcasing boats from esteemed brands Absolute, Aquila and Fairline.

For London-based boat enthusiasts, our Penton Hook Marina on the Thames is offering visitors the chance to step aboard boats from RYCK and Sealine, with Bray Marine Sales offering viewings of Balt Yachts at nearby Bray Marina.

Viewings are by appointment only. Interested buyers can request a private viewing between 17–25 January, and the relevant broker will then be in touch to arrange a suitable time.
