The third South Wales Boat Show in Margam Park will take place from 13 to 15 June 2008 with the first North Wales Boat Show following hot on the heels of its southern trailblazer with a show from 25 July to 27 July on Vaynol Estate.


The show in Margam Park this year saw over 187 companies and organizations attend and the plan for 2008 is once again to promote all types of water sports: surfing, jet skis, fishing craft, powerboats, canoes, dinghies, yachts and traditional sailing craft. One of the attractions is a “Get afloat and try a boat” event, with the opportunity to try out various types of water craft under the supervision of trained RYA instructors. Last year more than 1,500 people got to try out Jet Skis, dinghies, and RIBs on the lake.

Venues for both shows have lakes within the show grounds and are aiming to put Wales on the map for water sports. The organizers are expecting at least 10,000 people for the first North Wales show. Admission prices start from £6 for adults, £3 for children and £15 for families. Exhibitors spaces are still available.
