Southampton International Boat Show 2026: Come and find us on the waterfront

It’s that time of year again. The marquee will soon be up, the kit carefully unwrapped, the weather will hopefully be behaving itself, and Southampton will be ready for ten days of all things boats.

Yes, Southampton International Boat Show is nearly here, and Rooster will be back down on the waterfront.

We’re in the same location as last year, but we know it’s still a fairly new spot for some of you, so here’s your friendly reminder, we’re down on the waterfront. Come and find us on stand W38.

Come and see what we’ve got

The show is always a good excuse to catch up with familiar faces, meet new ones and, inevitably, have a chat about sailing kit.

We’ll have plenty of Rooster favourites with us, along with some new bits to get your hands on. So whether you’re looking for your next set of sailing gear, something for the kids, a few bits for the boat, or just fancy seeing what we’ve been up to, come and have a rummage.

And, of course, you can try things on and talk to the people who actually use the kit. No hard sell. Just good kit chat.

The outlet rails are back…

Now for the important bit. We’re bringing outlet rails packed with some seriously good deals to Southampton this year.

These will be a mix of end-of-line, discontinued and limited-stock Rooster kit, with prices you’ll only be able to get your hands on at the show.

So if you’re a bargain hunter, this is your warning. Get there early. Have a rummage. And if you see something you like, don’t hang around. Because there’s nothing worse than coming back later to find the thing you wanted has gone to a new home.

Fancy coming for free?
