Visit the RYA at Southampton International Boat Show

31 Aug 21

If you’re visiting the Southampton International Boat Show (10-19 September), Britain’s biggest festival of boating, then pay a visit to the RYA stand (J120) which can be found in its new location in Ocean Hall.

“We’re delighted that the Southampton International Boat Show is back and the RYA will once again be offering all the latest advice and information to get you afloat” said RYA Shows and Promotions Manager Celia Edgington.

“Whether you’re looking for information on Powerboat Level 2, RYA Day Skipper or RYA Marine Radio courses, we can help you find the right course for you. We’ll also have experts on hand to share advice on cruising both at home and abroad plus everything you need to know about how to stay safe using RYA SafeTrx”.

It’s also the perfect place to pick up your RYA Publications with a show offer of 20% off for all RYA Members.  From the new 2021-2024 Racing Rules books, to course books and the new 2022 Reeds Nautical Alamanac, there’s something for everyone.
