The Southampton Boat Show is at Mayflower Park, from 19th - 28th September 2025. The show is open from 10am - 6pm and is UK’s largest marine showcase, featuring hundreds of vessels, cutting-edge gear, on-water experiences, and expert-led events all in one vibrant waterfront setting.
"When we arrived early at the Southampton Boat Show, Rodman wasn’t on our short-list of boats to track down. This well researched checklist was full of the usual shiny suspects but none of these were really “the one”. The Rodman stand was the second one we visited and Ben’s patience was never ending as we kept coming back asking to try the cabin beds, sit on the seats and open every cupboard. The blue-hulled Spirit 31 caught our eye and became the standard by which the others at the Boat Show were compared. We left that day with a new Rodman boat and she is a shiny, sturdy-yet-elegant and very capable pleasure craft with light and open accommodation. We are very confident in her handling the Solent, taking us to new destinations and bringing us home safely with speed and fun."
