Southampton Boat Show 2022: What to see
- Theo Stocker
- September 2, 2022
Theo Stocker takes a look at the highlights for cruising sailors at this year’s show, which runs 16-25 September
There will be plenty of new boats at the 2022 Southampton Boat Show
After a summer out on the water, boat show season is upon us once more. There are still plenty of sailing days left, but the arrival of the Southampton Boat Show 2022 signals that it might just be time to start thinking about the upgrades and gizmos your boat ‘needs’ as well as the less glamorous jobs over winter.
The boat show is a great place to bag a bargain, from folding props to solar panels.
Step aboard the boats afloat on the marina pontoons at the Southampton Boat Show 2022
It is also a chance to nosy around a host of shiny new boats, whether you’re in the market for one or not – it’s fun to dream.
Having said that, the last couple of years have seen yachts new and old selling like hot cakes, thanks in part to the Covid effect that seems to have reminded people that you don’t have to go overseas for stunning coastlines and adventures afloat.
While many boatbuilders’ order books are still full, things may be calming down to more normal levels. The chances are, if you’re in the market for a new boat, there are deals to be done.
The Southampton Boat Show 2022 is held at Mayflower Park
With that in mind, the Yachting Monthly team have trawled through the boats and gadgets that are planned to appear at the show.
There are bound to be plenty that haven’t been announced yet that you’ll have to discover yourself, but here is our selection of what we think is worth a look at in the sailing sections of Southampton International Boat Show.
Ticket discount for the Southampton Boat Show 2022
The 53rd Southampton International Boat Show runs from 16 to 25 September, open from 1000 to 1800 every day.
YM readers can use the discount code YM22 to receive two adult general admission tickets for £39.99, rather than the full price of £32 per single ticket. Concessions, hospitality and other ticket deals can be found on the website: www.southamptonboatshow.com
Due to the funeral of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the show will be closed on Monday, 19 September 2022.
All exhibitors and ticket holders have been notified of this change.
Visitors who have purchased tickets to attend the show on Monday 19 September will now be able to attend another day of the show.
This will be completed automatically by our ticket partner Ticketsellers and you do not need to do anything.
Visitors with further queries regarding their ticket should contact: [email protected]
Meet the YM team
Back in our usual spot, Yachting Monthly will be on stand E001, ready for subscription renewals with prizes to be won and books to be bought.
The editorial team will be around and about on a few of the days. If you see us, do say hello, or leave your name on the stand and we’ll get back to you.
Yachting Monthly and Mike Golding announced the Brian Black Memorial Award last year
We will also be hosting gin and tonic drinks on the B&G stand (J372) at 1530 on Friday 16 September for the prize-giving of the Brian Black Memorial Award 2022.
Come along, grab a drink, and hear about the amazing stories submitted to this competition.
To hear more from us, the editors of Yachting Monthly , Practical Boat Owner , and a couple of other magazines will be interviewed on the Foredeck Stage on the afternoon of Friday 16 September. Keep an eye out for timings nearer the day.
Flagship Yachts
A newly announced 69 footer might be on the cards, but Hallberg-Rassy’s 57 has plenty of bluewater potential
Show debuts: Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54, Hallberg-Rassy 57, Dufour 56
Big boats have been big. The demand for more comfort, more luxury and more performance aligns comfortably with boat builders’ preference for selling larger boats.
Among the 50-something flagship models that will be on the pontoons is the Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54, the Hanse 548 and 588, and Hallberg-Rassy’s 57.
The Dufour 56 can still be easily sailed by two
If it’s pure luxury you’re after, it might be the baby of the range but the Swan 48 is definitely worth a look, as are the Spirit yachts for their sheer workmanship.

Rustler , a stalwart of the show, will be there with its lovely little 24-foot dayboat, as well as the bluewater-ready 42, whose encapsulated keel , skeg-hung rudder and heavy displacement will please traditionalists.
Contest Yachts will be there too.

Trimarans such as the Dragonfly 40 typically offer serious performance
Show debuts: Dazcat 1295, Dragonfly 32 Evolution, Dragonfly 40, Fountaine Pajot Isla 40, Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, Lagoon 50
Catamarans have also been booming, driven partly by those giving up life on land, at least for some of the year to sail to follow the trade winds for warmer climes.
There will be a dozen or so multihulls to have a wander around.
There is less space inside, but it is very well used on the Dragonfly 40
For those with performance in mind, the trimarans, from the diminutive, all-new Astus 22.5 with its hulls drawn by the legendary team at VPLP, to the Dragonfly 32, and relatively new flagship, the 40.
As far as fast cats go, the Dazcat 1295 should certainly be on your list.
Fountaine Pajot’s Isla 40 is popular in warmer climes
If it’s space you’re after, Fountaine Pajot is showing the Isla 40 and Elba 45, and Lagoon will have its 42 and 50 on the pontoons.
Gear & Chandlery
E-Propulsion will be one of the exhibitors at the Southampton Boat Show 2022
There is a wealth of equipment, chandlers, and sailmakers at the show.
If your genoa is looking a bit tired, or your halyards are getting frayed, the boat show is a great place to see lots of the main sail lofts and riggers side by side to compare their wares, discuss what you need and strike a deal.
One of the fun things about wandering around a boat show, however, is stumbling across completely unexpected things you never knew you needed, but now really want to have.
Sail power for green propulsion
Whether it’s an expedition rowing boat for the sea or an inflatable rowing catamaran, dinghies you can fold, stack, nest, inflate, or sail (or all of them at once), it’ll be at the show.
If you’re wanting to go green with your sailing, have a look at Entropy Resins’ bio-based epoxy, Marlec’s renewable power solutions (other brands available!), or check in with The Green Blue.
There are also more and more companies offering electric boat propulsion solutions, and while the front-runners E-Propulsion and Torqeedo are there, Bellmarine and Fischer Panda are also showing their electric inboard motors.
If you’ve still got energy, don’t miss the maritime art for sale.
There’s a new clothing and safety kit brand Mustang Survival, that are worth having a look at, and who wouldn’t want a Yamaha inflatable jet ski (sadly only for children).
And when your feet can take it no more, grab a beer and a chair, and catch up with some old friends.
Dinghies & tender highlights: GlideTide rowing boat, Row and Sail X-cat, Folding Rib, DinghyGo, Spearfish, Boatworld air floor tenders, Explorer nesting dinghy
Green sailing debuts: Entropy resins bio based epoxy resins, Hempel Silic One antifoul, Marlec renewable power, The Green Blue
Electric propulsion: Bellmarine, Fischer Panda, E-Propulsion, Torqeedo
The Swallow Baycruiser 23 is a serious little seaboat
Show debuts: Astus 22.5, Swallow Baycruiser 23, Nicholson 31 Liberty Jane, Waverley sailing dinghy.
Highlights: VIKO S21, Drascombe
While size is king, there is an undercurrent of much lower cost small boats to see.
As usual, the likes of the Cornish Crabber, Drascombe Lugger and Longboat will be there, as will innovative Welsh yard, Swallow Yachts, with its Bayraider, and the larger Baycruiser 23. Viko Yachts’ trailer sailing S21 will be on the water if the Tofinou dayboats are slightly out of budget – even if they are lovely to look at (and sail).
The Astus 22.5 trimaran is worth a look. There aren’t many trailer sailers that can sail at over 10 knots without heeling, even if accommodation is on the bijou side.
The Viko S21 is a fun little trailer sailer
Not a new boat, by quite some margin, but the Nicholson 31 owners’ association have got the N31 Liberty Jane on the pontoons.
As far as affordable cruising yachts go, this is something of a classic.
For proper micro-cruising adventures, the lugged-rigged GRP Waverley sailing dinghy is pretty and could make for fun pottering.
Cruisers on the pontoon at the Southampton Boat Show 2022
The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 will be debuting at the Southampton Boat Show 2022
Show debuts: Dehler 38SQ, Dufour 470, GT325 (off site), Hallberg-Rassy 400, Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380, Moody DS41
Then of course, there are the more mainstream cruising boats, of which there are more than enough to fill your boots.
At the performance end of things, Arcona has its updated Arcona 385 and 435 at the show, the Dehler 38SQ is worth a look and Salona and X-Yachts will also be in attendance.
The Dehler 38SQ’s bright, light saloon
There are some interesting smaller boats around the 30-35ft mark, including the new Dufour 32 , the Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 and the Hanse 348 .
Of note is also the British-built GT325 and while the yard just has a stand at the show, the actual boat will be available for test sailing at the nearby Ocean Village marina.

Oyster 565 yacht test: This bluewater cruiser marks the rebirth of a legend
- Toby Hodges
- January 9, 2020
Is this Oyster 565 the boat that secures the British yard’s future? Toby Hodges takes an exclusive test sail
Product Overview
Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.
For the sake of this iconic British brand, the new Oyster 565 can’t just be good, it has to be exceptional. Nothing less will do. When the Oyster 825 Polina Star III lost her keel and sank off the coast of Spain in July 2015, the fortune it subsequently cost Oyster directly contributed to the company going into receivership.
Its backers, Dutch firm HTP Investments, ceased to provide financial support in February 2018 and the company went into administration. When gaming software entrepreneur Richard Hadida bought Oyster six weeks later , many wondered how he could rebuild the credibility of the brand and turn the business around.
So all eyes were on the Oyster 565 when it launched at the Southampton Boat Show in September. This is the first completely new design under Hadida’s watch and it sits at the core of the British firm’s market. This is the yard’s most popular size, replacing the 56 (75 sold) and 575 (45 sold).
There is the option of an extended transom design with tender garage, but all owners so far have favoured this standard shape with davits for carrying a dinghy. This yacht has a substantial bathing platform, alongside which you can tie up the dinghy. Photo: Brian Carlin
Hadida has introduced some key developments to help it succeed. Oyster now moulds its hulls in-house rather than subcontracting this work, and he wanted third party oversight, so a Lloyd’s Register surveyor inspects all yachts in build once a week to approve the design, materials and build quality of the hulls and decks. This brings a level of assurance to new owners and should restore faith in the build quality.
The new owner introduced a diverse group of board members, including designer Rob Humphreys and sailor and former Formula 1 team boss Eddie Jordan as well as other business authorities. He also put the Oyster Rendezvous regattas and successful Oyster World Rally back on track. However, this groundwork counts for nothing if the Oyster 565 flops.
I travelled to Barcelona to spend two days testing Panthalassa , the first 565 to launch. Knowing there is a huge amount riding on this model, I wondered whether it would deliver. The answer is a resounding yes. The Oyster 565 is one of the finest production yachts I have ever sailed.
The design is contemporary and sympathetic to Oyster’s existing line-up, but with more volume, comfort, simplicity, speed and stowage space than its predecessors. The deck and interior layout is right up to date, the engineering behind the scenes is of high quality, and the finish is a step beyond what almost any other production yard can offer.

Rustler 57 review: This traditional British cruiser was built to rule the waves
Rustler’s stunning new flagship, the Rustler 57 may cause you to re-evaluate what comfort is all about when cruising
Times have changed
I found the Oyster 565 berthed alongside an Oyster 56 in Port Ginesta, which conveniently illustrated how hull shapes and deck layouts have changed in 20 years. The Oyster 565 has around 30cm more freeboard, the beam is carried much further aft, and it has a broader transom. The cockpit in particular is much larger, easier and safer to get into, and there are no sheets for guests to trip over.
The design strikes a balance between respecting the legacy of the 56 and the ten-year-old Oyster 575 , and introducing modern features such as a flush foredeck, clean lines and a greater hull volume. Some traditional cruisers may mourn the loss of a skeg-hung rudder and cutter-rigged headsails, but the ease with which you can handle this Oyster 565 in most conditions should convince the majority that modern design wins here.
A robust bowsprit extends the yacht’s length to 59ft. Although the hull length of the new Oyster 565 is shorter than the 575 it replaces, its waterline length is longer and it boasts 10% more volume. Its full bow sections also create space for a sail locker, a crucial asset for stowing the offwind sail needed to supplement the blade jib.
The Oyster 565 is clearly the product of a yard used to building high-end large yachts, as opposed to one pushing up in size into a level of engineering and quality with which it is less familiar. This is perhaps why Oyster describes it as a ‘pocket superyacht ’.
In this respect, the appointment of Paul Adamson as Oyster’s chief commercial officer was shrewd. Adamson is a seasoned Oyster skipper who took Eddie Jordan’s Oyster 885 Lush around the world (the yacht now belongs to Richard Hadida). He brings practical, hands-on expertise and big-boat knowledge to the yard.
The Oyster 565’s £1.5m price tag is steep, but it is comparable to similar-sized yachts from competitor brands and, unusually, comes with a very high standard spec. This includes hydraulic thrusters, furlers, and windlass, tri-radial sails, powered winches, a generator and a full electronic navigation package. You’ll even find 100m of 12mm chain in the anchor locker.

The Oyster 565 comes ready to go, with all the equipment the company knows will make for comfortable ocean cruising , gleaned from decades of experience and owner feedback.
It is immediately obvious as soon as you go on board that every detail has been thought through. The high guardrails have boarding gates built in. If berthed stern-to, a cassette-style passerelle (an extra option) extends at the push of a button, and its handrail rises automatically. Moving forward between the twin wheels, you enter a generous-sized, deep centre cockpit.
A bluewater yacht needs to have a kindly motion at sea, be easy it is to sail and remain comfortable when heeled. During our trials, the Oyster 565 was to prove genteel, safe and enjoyable to sail.

The 565 is simplicity itself to get on and off a berth. It comes with retractable bow and stern thrusters as standard, which allow you to spin the boat around its keel. The hydraulic thrusters are powerful enough to park sideways against a crosswind and easily correct any misalignment when approaching the dock.
Easier sailhandling
The hydraulic furling makes it equally simple to deploy sails even in a strong breeze or awkward seaway. I am not usually a fan of in-mast furling mainsails, but here the ability for one person to set and furl away the main without leaving the helm outweighs any negatives.
Oyster has also ensured that you can manually furl sails should the power or hydraulics fail. Both the mainsail and jib furlers have sockets that allow you to winch the sail by hand or, easier still, operate them with a cordless drill (a fully charged 18V drill will reportedly manage 15 mainsail furls).
The Oyster 565 is the first all-new model to be launched since the yard’s 2018 buyout. Photo: Brian Carlin
The blade jib enables the Oyster 565 to point higher and tack or gybe faster and more easily than previous Oysters with cutter rigs, and without the risk of yankee or genoa sheets whipping around the cockpit. It also proved the ideal sail for our long beats upwind in 12-20 knot winds. The Oyster 565 is a powerful design with a medium displacement, able to maintain consistent speed with a soft motion through the waves that makes for a quiet and comfortable ship.
The twin rudders provide the helmsman with total control and forgiving handling. When the apparent breeze reached the high 20s and the leeward gunwale was immersed, we were on the verge of needing a reef, yet the helm remained light, with only a slight increase in weather helm. This means light work for an autopilot. You can really load the boat, so would need to keep an eye on true wind speeds and when to reduce sail.
The test yacht’s bright red asymmetric spinnaker helped us get the most from the Oyster 565 offwind. Again it was the consistent speeds that stood out: 9-9.5 knots in flat water with winds in the low teens, rising to double figures when going with the swell. Once the breeze was up to a Force 5 on our second day we were sailing consistently at 10 knots. I was hooked: this is an indulgent way to tick off mile after mile.
The cockpit is split into helming and guest areas. The latter has deep benches, a large, fixed table with insulated cool box, a good sprayhood with large, clear panels and an optional bimini or full cockpit enclosure. Photo: Rick Tomlinson
Most sail controls and sheets are within reach of the twin pedestals yet clear of the guest cockpit. When standing at the helm it is possible to straddle the coaming to release a sheet or reach the powered winch buttons during a tack.
Short-handed control
For owners who want to sail short-handed, however, it might be more practical to have the primaries closer to the helms, allowing them to hand steer the boat through a tack rather than relying on an autopilot. Leading the jib sheet to the aft (spinnaker) winch might make more sense, as it is closer to the helm and easier to reach without leaving the cockpit.
The mainsheet winch is directly abaft and in reach of the helmsman. It feels awkward turning round to trim the main, but I guess it is something you would get used to, or would settle for engaging the autopilot before trimming the main. There is currently no option for a traveller. Adamson believes that, for most owners, clear access to the cockpit is paramount, and a powerful vang was chosen to control the main instead.
Safe and secure on deck
The distance between the two wheels is perfect. Footwells help ensure that you feel in, rather than on top of, the boat while helming – that was not always the case on previous models. And wraparound backrests at the seats and handrails on the pedestals both create a feeling of security around the helm areas.
Moving forward along the wide side decks also feels safe thanks to high guardrails and handrails along the coachroof. Outboard shrouds and inboard jib tracks leave a comparatively clear side deck. The shrouds disappear neatly into composite chainplates below the toerail.
Going below feels less secure when the Oyster 565 is heeled, however. The flat companionway steps are steep, and curved sides would be more practical. The interior has plenty of handholds and solid fiddles, but there is so much headroom in the saloon I could only just reach the overhead handrail on the centreline.
When sailing, you have this hypnotic view from the saloon of the sea foaming past the leeward hull windows. Photo: Toby Hodges
It is easier to move forward along the starboard side of the saloon, though, and elsewhere the layout suits life at an angle. It is remarkably quiet below decks, a hush belied by the mesmerising sight of the sea foaming past the big leeward hull windows.
Behind the scenes
The British yard has stuck to a tried and tested interior layout for the Oyster 565 and has furnished and finished it impeccably. The standard of joiner work is as good as any you’ll find at production yacht level. The galley and aft cabin would be hard to better, and the utility cabin amidships, a workroom-cum-laundry with an optional pilot berth and access to the walk-in engine room, further compliments the proven layout.
Unusually at this size, Oyster offers the option of a master cabin forward with two double cabins aft. But unless you plan to spend long periods berthed stern-to, the standard owner suite aft with the magnificent views it provides will surely win every time.
The ensuite owner’s aft cabin has an abundance of light and views, good headroom and stowage – it’s difficult to believe you’re actually aboard a yacht of less than 60ft. Photo: Rick Tomlinson
Every part of the accommodation is used to its full potential, and stowage is maximised without any part feeling cramped. Practical touches include the cedar-lined, lit and ventilated wardrobes, clever use of indirect lighting, and deeply fiddled work surfaces that are shaped, moulded and laminated in-house.
However, it’s what lies behind the scenes that impressed me most. All services are easy to access for maintenance. The headlining is mounted on Velcro, while floorboards use the Fastmount panel system – although Oyster really needs to find a way to stop these sole panels creaking as it spoils an otherwise quiet interior.
Look below the saloon sole and you’ll find a proper, deep bilge sump in the keel stub. Bilges throughout the boat drain here through limber holes, which ensures any water stays in the lowest part and doesn’t slosh around. This is the most logical place for bilge pumps and by mounting them on removable plates Oyster has ensured they can easily be lifted to clean the strainers.
Sole boards lift to allow access to underfloor systems and the deep bilge. Photo: Toby Hodges
Installed beneath the companionway are two large bronze seawater inlets, one for the domestic side, such as fridge and air con, the other for the engine and generator. These systems are linked so that if one becomes blocked you can shut it down and use the other. It is also comforting to see the surrounding pipes all clearly labelled ‘Lloyds approved’.
The companionway steps lift for stowage and access to the top of the 11kW generator. Here you notice the thickness of the sound insulation. Adamson says Oyster has learned a lot about this through building its larger models. The engine room, for example, is surrounded by plywood with a high-density core and insulated with a composite of foam and sound-absorbing materials. When the engine is on tickover, it is almost impossible to hear it in the cockpit.
See more pictures and videos of the Oyster 565 on the official Oyster Yachts website.
Besides walk-in access to starboard, panels below the galley sink can be removed for access to the port side of the engine room. The engine block sits on flexible mountings, below which is a sump that prevents any oil from running into the main bilge area. There is an electronic pump-out for an oil change, a powered fuel polisher and a water-in-fuel alarm – systems normally only found on larger yachts.
The longer you look, the more you appreciate the careful planning and the intricate detail that has gone into this yacht.
The Oyster 565 is a seriously impressive yacht. It’s a modern design, through and through: good-looking and spacious. It’s certainly expensive, but for good reason, as it includes an extremely high standard spec. And the engineering quality and level of finish really raises the bar. No yacht is perfect, but in terms of design and execution the Oyster 565 is as close as you’ll find on a series-built cruising yacht. This new model issues a very clear statement: Oyster is back.

British builders head Southampton International Boat Show
- September 18, 2022
The Princess F65 is among the Plymouth yard’s three world premieres at Southampton’s expanded set-up, where Sunseeker is showing nine yachts and Fairline six, while European builders have a strong presence.
The F65 is the new flagship of Princess’s F Class of flybridge models

Princess’s seven yachts in the water are headlined by the global debut of the F65 and the world premieres of the F55 and F50, all from the F Class series of flybridge yachts. The Plymouth builder’s other models include the V50 Deck (show debut) and V55 sports yachts, S66 sportbridge and the Y72 (show debut) from the larger Y Class flybridge motor yachts. Project 31, t he original Princess yacht, is on display by the show entrance.
Princess has seven yachts in the water
Will Green, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing for Princess Yachts, said: “The Southampton International Boat Show has always been extremely important to Princess and marks the start of the new selling season, often setting the direction for the year ahead.
“The new F65 will be a pivotal new boat for Princess, so we’re delighted to be able to launch her at our home show as a major draw for both UK and international customers.”
Sunseeker is showing nine yachts
Sunseeker’s large display features the UK debut of the Predator 65, which had its world premiere in March at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in the US. The nine-yacht line-up also includes Predator 65’s sister model, the 65 Sport Yacht, along with the Manhattan 55 and Manhattan 68. The Poole builder’s largest models on show are a Predator 74, Predator 74 XPS, 76 Yacht, 88 Yacht and 95 Yacht.
Sean Robertson, Sales and Marketing Director at Sunseeker International, said: “We’re showcasing another stellar line-up at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show, with our expert team on hand to offer comprehensive sales advice and support throughout the 10-day show.”
Fairline’s six yachts include its flagship Squadron 65
Fairline is staging the show debut of its newly upgraded flagship Squadron 68, soon after the model’s official world premiere at Cannes. The Squadron 68 includes a subtly revised exterior, new sleek hardtop and new interior design, and the first hull in Asia was delivered over the summer to Pattaya, Thailand, through regional dealer Simpson Marine. The builder’s line-up at the show also includes the F//Line 33, Targa 45 Open and GT models, Targa 50 Open and Squadron 50.
Paul Grys, CEO of Fairline, said: “We’re excited to return to Southampton International Boat Show. The response we’ve had for our latest models has been excellent, and we continue to invest in new products and improve existing lines to ensure excitement grows with what Fairline has to offer.”
