Since the move to ExCeL, the London Boat Show has cemented its position as the largest annual London event. Now in its 54th year, the Show will once again take place at ExCeL - the heart of London’s new entertainment district - from 11-20 January 2008.

Taking into account the feedback NBS received, the event will see the return of a variety of popular features, including classic boats, deck games, anchor watch and the Show’s enhanced Guinness Bar, complete with its well-received wider offering.

Taking advantage of ExCeL’s fabulous waterside setting, the Show will once again host a Navy war ship as well as the largest exhibitor boats in production. NBS is looking at getting as many visitors out on the waters as possible to enjoy the experience of boating, as well as showcasing spectacular boats, such as Ellen MacArthur’s Extreme 40 seen in 2007.

The London Boat Show also expects exciting new attractions such as a water-sports area, working boats and narrow boats outside on the dock, and the impartial area dedicated to getting people boating. There will also be a main focal point, which will hold all sorts of entertainment from educational shows to celebrity interviews.
