A brand new show, a unique setting and a whole new concept. This is the Suzuki sponsored, Powerboat & RIB Show, now the only show representing the entire powerboat market under 45ft. Held at the nation’s most prestigious waterside retail and leisure complex, Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, craft and equipment of every type will be displayed to an audience in the region of 80,000 persons over the three days. No entry will be charged and an ‘open-event’ will be the order of the day so as to capitalise on the full number of visitors attending Gunwharf Quays over the course of the weekend. Much media interest surrounds this event as it is being understood by all, both media and the industry, as being the UK’s only outdoor boat show other than Southampton Boat Show held in September. Furthermore, being staged in May, the advantage of the Powerboat & RIB Show is that it provides the market with a first rate opportunity to sell to an audience gearing themselves up for the season’s start. The media arms of Suzuki, Land Securities/Gunwharf Quays, Oyster House Media along with the show’s award winning contracted PR company, Carswell Gould, will be combining to promote the show to the boating press, the national media, the regional press, TV and radio plus all on-line means possible. No stone will be left unturned in terms of promoting this event fully to ensure everyone with an interest in powered craft and a love of the sea will be present.
