The 2025 British Motor Yacht Show will host an impressive range of luxury motorboats, offering top options for visitors, whether new owners or highly experienced boaters.
From 15–18 May 2025, Premier’s Swanwick Marina will host the British Motor Yacht Show, featuring motorboat brands across the size spectrum, global premieres, and exclusive UK debuts in the growing compact luxury market.
This year’s event will highlight exciting trends in the motorboat world, including high-performance adventure boats, adaptable smaller craft, and luxury tenders. The show’s partners, luxury yacht industry giants Sunseeker, Fairline, and Princess, will also present impressive displays.
Sanlorenzo showcase at the British Motor Yacht Show
Excitingly for Sanlorenzo fans, this year’s show will host the most Sanlorenzo Yachts ever seen at a UK boat show. The Sanlorenzo SX76 and Sanlorenzo SL96A will be on the water alongside the Bluegame BG54, a Sanlorenzo brand.

At the show, the customised Sanlorenzo SL96A is available for exclusive viewing. The 29.06-metre yacht focuses on connecting to the outside while lounging, with huge foredeck sun pads and a dining table. In addition, the saloon has floor-to-ceiling windows for panoramic ocean views designed to let in ample natural light.

Sanlorenzo bills its new SX76 as a ‘synthesis between the classic motor yacht with a flying bridge and the recent and growing Explorer model.’ Show-goers can witness it in all its 23.75-metre glory, with expansive decks and a semi-enclosed flybridge for accommodating up to 8 guests.
For those who want a super manageable entry to boating, the Bluegame BG54 will showcase its 360-degree cockpit with panoramic views. While it’s more compact than the SX76 and SL96A, maximising space is the name of the game here, particularly with the stern area, which has a bathing platform and sun pads facing aft. The bulwarks on either side of the sun pads offer a valuable windbreak ideal for sheltering while catching rays.

Boats for wide-ranging interests
“As boating evolves, we’re seeing strong demand for motor boats that combine innovation, style, and practicality,” said a British Motor Yacht Show spokesperson. “These vessels offer a gateway into the world of luxury motor boating, and many of them punch well above their weight in both design and performance.”
Following the popularity of compact cruisers and adventure-ready boats, the show will display many vessels offering a low-barrier entry into the boating lifestyle.
