Unlike a traditional boat show, the open day is designed to be calm and unhurried. Visitors can explore the marina at their own pace, meet the teams based at Hamble Point and step aboard a wide selection of new and pre‑owned boats without the pressure or crowds often associated with larger events.

This year, Fortis Marine will present two of the latest models from X‑Yachts: the new Xc 47 and the X4.3 MkII. These will be joined by four pre‑owned X‑Yachts, offering a broad mix of performance, cruising comfort and specification for anyone considering their next yacht or planning ahead for the coming seasons.

Throughout the event, the Fortis Marine team will be available to answer questions, discuss specifications and provide clear, practical guidance on both new and brokerage models. Visitors can also learn more about the Fortis Marine Service Centre, commissioning work and the support available to owners based at Hamble Point.

Registration is free, and all registered visitors will receive 20% off eat‑in food and all drinks at The Ketch Rigger Restaurant during the event. T&Cs apply.

For those thinking about their next boat or simply wanting to compare options in a straightforward, enjoyable setting, the River Hamble Boat Show open day offers an ideal opportunity to step aboard a range of yachts and motorboats, speak with experts and ease into the new season in good company.
