Activities & Events

Whilst you could easily spend all day at the Dockside Area browsing the beautiful selection of yachts for sale, there’s plenty more to see and do. From the Car Deck’s classic and custom vehicles (think 1960s Mercedes-Benz models alongside the latest electric hypercars) to Riva boats, helicopters, personal submarines, and the newest toys and tenders.

The Blue Wake Sustainability Programme also returns this year, spotlighting companies actively driving positive change across the industry.
