Our 2026 Boat Shows: we’re taking Corsiva, Interboat and Haines across the UK

It’s shaping up to be an exciting and packed year on the show circuit for Val Wyatt. From the Norfolk Broads to the Solent, we’ve been getting out on the water and bringing some exceptional boats with us – and there’s plenty more still to come. Here’s a full run-down of where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and the stunning vessels you can expect to see at each event.

Last weekend: Boat Fest South – South Coast

We kicked off the 2026 show season at Boat Fest South, where we were thrilled to show the brand-new Corsiva 800 – the latest and largest addition to the Corsiva range.

Corsiva 800

The Corsiva 800 is a beautifully crafted open day boat measuring 7.4 metres, combining sleek aesthetics with genuine practicality on the water. Its spacious cockpit is the centrepiece, offering comfortable room for family and friends, while clever design touches – including storage under hinged seat bases and behind backrests – make excellent use of every inch of space.

Among the optional extras available are a deck shower, a 42-litre fridge, and a marine toilet, while a 120-litre fuel tank option makes the 800 well-suited for longer cruising adventures. With a maximum engine size of 175hp, it’s equally capable on inland waterways and coastal waters. Whether you’re heading out for a day on the Solent or exploring the upper Thames, the Corsiva 800 offers the perfect blend of style, comfort and versatility.

This Weekend: Horning Boat Show – Norfolk Broads

Saturday 2nd May

This Saturday, we head up to the beautiful Norfolk Broads for the Horning Boat Show, where we’ll be showing the Interboat Intender 750 – the latest model from our Dutch partners and a boat we are genuinely very excited about.

Interboat Intender 750

The Intender 750 has already made a significant impression before even arriving on UK shores: it was named Open Motorboat of the Year 2025 at the prestigious HISWA Boat of the Year Awards in the Netherlands, and it’s easy to see why.

Designed around the concept of space – and lots of it – the 750 achieves this through its unique underfloor engine placement, which removes the need for a bulky engine box in the cockpit and frees up an exceptional amount of room on board. The self-draining cockpit features a wide walkway alongside a generously sized aft sunbed, with easy access to the large swim platform. Comfortable, elevated seating provides excellent all-round visibility for passengers, while deep benches with high backrests ensure hours of relaxed cruising pleasure.

At 7.5 metres, with a clearance height of just 1.18 metres, the Intender 750 is perfectly suited to the Norfolk Broads and its network of low bridges and narrow waterways – making Horning a particularly fitting show for this model.

Optional extras include a bow thruster, fridge, stereo and an enclosed toilet compartment. Engine options range from 27hp to 110hp diesel, with fully electric drives also available. It’s Category C certified for up to ten people on coastal waters, and at around 2,000kg, it’s also easy to trailer to new destinations.

Coming Up: South Coast and Green Tech Show – Ocean Village, Southampton

8–10th May

The following weekend, we head back to the south coast for the South Coast and Green Tech Show at Ocean Village in Southampton, where we’ll be bringing two outstanding boats: the Haines 32 Offshore and the Interboat Intender 950.

Haines 32 Offshore

The Haines 32 Offshore is a masterclass in British boatbuilding – handcrafted in Norfolk with the kind of attention to detail usually associated with vessels at a much higher price point. Designed around the cruising couple, its focus on one-level living means ease of movement and a wonderful sense of space throughout.

The 32 Offshore is built around a semi-displacement offshore hull designed by the renowned Andrew Wolstenholme, giving it confident performance at low to intermediate planing speeds and genuine offshore capability – it holds an RCD Category B rating, ideal for cruising around our UK coasts and beyond. Light and airy throughout, the saloon connects beautifully to the aft deck via fully opening ‘slide and stack’ patio doors. Forward, a large island double en-suite cabin and a well-equipped galley – complete with a three-burner gas hob, oven, and 65-litre fridge – provide excellent accommodation for those wishing to stay aboard.

Our current stock boat is now available at our Chichester office and comes comprehensively specified with a wide range of optional extras. The engine is a single Volvo D4 320hp diesel, and additional highlights include bow and stern thrusters, electric anchor winch, a Webasto electric sunroof, sliding deck access door from the helm seat, Airtronic heating, Victron inverter/charger, and a full Raymarine electronics package – chartplotter, AIS transceiver, autopilot, i70s multifunction display and VHF radio. With a top speed of around 19 knots and seating for six to eight in the aft cockpit, this is a boat that performs as beautifully as it’s finished.

Interboat Intender 950 Cabrio

The flagship of the Interboat range and a genuine showstopper, the Intender 950 Cabrio turns heads wherever it goes. The cockpit is designed for socialising, with a generous aft sunpad, a centrally positioned helm, and a spacious forward dining area with wraparound seating for family and friends. It’s RCD Category C rated for up to ten passengers, and the layout gives it an unrivalled amount of social space for a boat of its size.

Our current stock example is available now at our Wargrave marina – and it’s a beauty. Finished in a striking blue-black hull with ice white deck and waterline, Esthec synthetic teak throughout the cockpit and bathing platform, and Claro canopies, it’s as eye-catching on the outside as it is well-appointed within. Power comes from a Volvo Penta D2-75 diesel engine, and the optional extras list is extensive: bow and stern thrusters for effortless close-quarters handling, a 60-litre compressor fridge, hot and cold water with a deck shower, a large cockpit table, shore power with inverter/charger, cockpit LED lighting, bimini with easy cabrio system and connection to the sprayhood, electric anchor winch, Raymarine depth and log instruments, and a pump flush toilet with holding tank in the forward cabin.

Whether you’re moored at Henley Regatta or cruising Chichester Harbour, the 950 Cabrio simply doesn’t fail to impress.

British Motor Yacht Show – Swanwick Marina

14–17th May

Just days later, we’ll be at the British Motor Yacht Show at Swanwick Marina, bringing the same superb pairing of the Haines 32 Offshore and the Interboat Intender 950 Cabrio. If you missed us at Ocean Village, this is another excellent opportunity to step aboard both boats, speak with our team and explore everything they have to offer. The British Motor Yacht Show is a highlight of the spring calendar, and we’d love to see you there.

Summer: Thames Traditional Boat Festival – Fawley Meadows, Henley-on-Thames

17–19th July

Closer to home, we’re delighted to be returning to one of our favourite events of the year – the Thames Traditional Boat Festival at Fawley Meadows, just a short distance from our Willow Marina base in Wargrave. It’s the perfect occasion for the boat we’re bringing: the classically beautiful Interboat 19.

Interboat 19

Despite being fibreglass in construction, the Interboat 19 embodies the spirit of the Thames Traditional Boat Festival beautifully. A best-seller in the Netherlands since its introduction in 1996, this graceful handmade Dutch sloop has a timeless design with beautifully curved lines and an eye-catching traditional clinker-style hull that turns heads at every mooring.

The spacious open cockpit seats up to nine people in genuine comfort, with high backrests and deep seats designed for hours of relaxed cruising. Forward cushions can be arranged to create a generous sunbed, and thoughtful storage is tucked away throughout. Engine options of 16hp or 27hp inboard diesel deliver a quiet, relaxed pace perfectly suited to the Thames – though electric propulsion is available for those who prefer the near-silent option.

Compact enough to pass under virtually any bridge, the Interboat 19 is in its element on rivers, estuaries and harbours, combining elegance with practicality in a way that few boats manage. Come and see it in its natural habitat at Fawley Meadows in July.

Autumn: Southampton International Boat Show

18–27th September

The season closes for us as always at the Southampton International Boat Show, the UK’s biggest and most celebrated boating festival. We’ve been exhibiting at Southampton since the 1980s, and 2026 will be no different. This year we’ll be representing both Interboat and Corsiva at our berths in the marina, with the specific models to be announced closer to the time. Watch this space – Southampton never disappoints.
