Another Southampton Boat Show is officially over, and what a fantastic 10 days it was for the Promarine Finance team!

As always, the highlight of the event was the people. It was brilliant catching up with so many existing customers, meeting new faces, and connecting with our friends across the marine trade.

Here are a few of our key highlights from this year’s show:

• Financeaboat launch: We were thrilled to launch Financeaboat at the show. The feedback from brokers and dealers has been incredible — with over 30 already live on the platform, and new partners joining every day!
• Daily show prize draw: Congratulations to our winners Max, Aaron, John, Richard, Ed, Richard, David, Gavin, Kris, and Kevin. We have managed to contact almost all of you, with prizes delivered or on the way! If you haven’t heard from us check out our Facebook page announcements to see if you won, and get in touch.
• Stage talk success: A huge thank you to everyone who joined Ellie Driver and Stuart for their talk at The Boating Stage, including sailing legend Mike Golding OBE, who stopped by to show his support.
• Action & competition: From a trip out on the water with Flexisail on an Axopar to Charles putting in an exceptionally strong showing in the winch grinding competition, we had plenty of fun away from the stand!
• Vetus UK & Promarine Finance collaboration: Vetus UK and Promarine Finance have partnered to enable boat owners to spread the cost of boat refit packages and new boat systems for a cleaner, more efficient vessel. This builds on our current refinancing solution, which allows owners to unlock value in their existing boat to spend on upgrades and refits.
• New Marine Tech: Beyond our stand, we loved exploring the pontoons and stands to see the impressive array of new boats and innovative products coming to market.

Thank you to everyone who dropped by Stand P114 to say hello, discuss marine finance, or enter our draw.

If you didn’t get a chance to chat with us during the show, our team is back in the office and ready to help turn your boat buying plans into reality. Get in touch with us today, or explore listings directly by budget on Financeaboat!
