The South Wales Marine clock is now counting down for North Wales Boat Show. The 3rd South Wales Boat Show at Margam Park was really well supported for a third year with another record attendance of just on 14,000 visitors despite the fuel shortages we had another action packed week end. The show opened on Friday at 10.00 with an official opening with M.D. of National Boat Show's Andrew Williams and several V.I.P.'s at 11.00. We are again very grateful for the massive support of so many Welsh ,U.K. and European Companies and individuals who have supported our show to really put the Welsh and U.K. Marine industry on the map in South Wales. This year we have even more Exhibitors and products that attended our event, we made our target again for the 3rd year of just on 200 different companies being represented and with only hours to go, we were still getting bookings!, our further extended and fully carpeted 6,000sq foot Main Marquee was sold out again and with over 275 craft on display. I t was very clear from the feed back we have had since and during the show, that there is no where else in Wales where you could see the massive selection and range of products on offer again. We are very proud that our family run show in Three years has grown to become clearly the biggest regional boat show of its type in the UK.

The last two shows have been very well attended at Margam Park, have a look at the TV coverage covering the show. Once again we had the sun beating down on the beautiful Welsh countryside for the 2nd South Wales Boat Show. On the 15-17th June which saw thousands of visitors descend on Margam Park, near Port Talbot for the boat show. A range of attractions were offered throughout the weekend including the Wave radio stations road show, Studds fairground, hovercraft rides, a shipwreck on Aberavon beach for the kids with a play area and huge sandpit, Six knot Challenge farther's day sea shanty singing contest! and multitude of chandlery stalls and over 300 craft from major and local manufacturers on display. Over 1,000 people enjoyed rides on the Margam Park lake aboard jet ski's, zapcats, sailing dinghies and other craft, ALL TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE. All these will be back for this years show plus several new attractions.
Exhibitor and visitor attendances for the last two South Wales boat shows has very been impressive, Being Wales's premier Boat Show there is so much choice for visitors with national and international brands. Last year during the boat show weekend the exhibitors collectively sold over £2,200,000 of boats, equipment and services.
One of our Welsh Boat sales Companies, Cardiff Bay boat sales recorded the biggest individual sale of the South Wales boat show with a £180,000 Sealine powerboat and several more confirmed orders. The success of the biggest Welsh boat show didn't stop there either; Cambrian again sold over 6 craft. Generally all exhibitors reported excellent sales and many took confirmed orders for craft at the show. The end result meaning that most have rebooked along with several new companies who are looking forward to welcoming you on their stands at this years show in June!!!.
