Suzuki Marine will return to the Southampton International Boat Show this September with a major presence spanning its main exhibition stand, a substantial fleet of Suzuki-powered boats in the marina and a programme of activities for visitors to experience the brand on and off the water.
The show takes place at Mayflower Park from 18 to 27 September 2026 and is one of the most important events in the UK marine calendar, bringing together more than 550 marine brands and hundreds of boats and watercraft. Visitors will be able to explore Suzuki’s outboard technology, meet the Suzuki team and speak with its network of dealers and boat builders.
