Our fantastic 2024 line-up for the Southampton International Boat Show

We’ve been exhibiting the best in boating at the annual Southampton International Boat Show, the UK’s most prolific boating festival, since the 1980s. For this year’s event – taking place from the 13^th to the 22^nd of September – we are once again delighted to be showcasing a line-up of our very best boats, with the spotlight on two exceptional vessels from Haines. Renowned for their superior craftsmanship and innovative design, these Haines models embody the pinnacle of British boatbuilding. Visit us at berths M215 – M217 and M307 – M309 in the marina.

We are also very excited about our UK premieres this year – the brand new Interboat Intender 850 and the Corsiva 750 Tender. The 2024 show also provides another opportunity to view the Intender 950 Cabrio, which we have been proud to bring to the UK market since its debut last year.

The Haines 400 Offshore and the Haines 36 Offshore at Southampton

When visiting Southampton, you will not want to miss two of the biggest stars of this year’s show – the Haines 400 Offshore and the Haines 36 Offshore.

The flagship of the Haines fleet, the Haines 400, offers great performance and comfort and comes with the choice of two hull designs and a full bespoke build option.

This fabulous example of first-class boat building is continuously evolving, with a raft of improvements implemented year on year. Features include a twin-stateroom island berth, separate forward and aft en-suite shower and toilet, alternative layout options, spacious upper deck seating area, wide non-slip decks, easy-fold canopy, and GRP bathing platform with steps to port and starboard. This vessel is powered by Twin Volvo D4 320hp engines on shaft drives.

The Haines 400 is a joy to cruise. We have recently sold this beautiful boat, but if you’re interested in ordering a new to order Haines 400, the show provides the perfect opportunity to see it in its full glory.

Meanwhile, the Haines 36 Offshore (Category B) won’t disappoint those looking for an excellent offshore cruiser that is equally suited to and easy to handle in marinas, estuaries, and rivers. The boat that we have at the show is available to buy immediately.

The 36 Offshore is an outstanding boat offering a generous forward cabin with an island berth, a toilet compartment with a separate shower enclosure, and a spacious saloon with a spectacular view aft through the clever ‘slide and stack’ bifold saloon doors.

Sublimely comfortable and light and airy throughout, the 36 Offshore provides excellent accommodation for staying on board. A converting saloon settee provides additional berths.

This wonderfully equipped luxury boat offers generous space, a variety of layout options, and first-class amenities for entertaining. It also has a phenomenal amount of underdeck storage space for longer trips.

An extensive range of extras includes the Volvo D4 (300hp) engine with shaft drive, timeless navy-blue hull, bow and stern thrusters, electric anchor winch, heating, inverter, Garmin Chartplotter, and much more.

You will also get the chance to speak with Justin Haines, Director of Haines Marine, who will be joining our team on-site. He is looking forward to answering any questions you may have on both the Haines 400 and the Haines 36 Offshore.

Meet the newest member of the Interboat family – Interboat Intender 850

The Interboat Intender 850, the newest member of the Intender family, is making its entrance this year. Building on the enormous success of the Intender 820, its brand-new design takes exceptional features to the next level.

A traditional Dutch tender, the Intender is completely hand-built in the Interboat factory in Zwartsluis. A range of engine options are available, from 42 hp (approx. 13 km/h) to 250 hp (approx. 44 km/h) or fully electric with a 7.2 kW electric motor.

A keel and shaft drive give relaxed and predictable slow-speed handling regardless of engine size. Brilliantly positioned, the engine is cleverly mounted under the cockpit to maximise floor space, removing the engine box usually seen in sloops.

This stylish mid-range boat sits between the Intender 820 and 950, offering renowned quality and comfort. Its placing in size makes it the best of both worlds between the two boats. Though smaller than the Intender 950, the Interboat Intender 850 has the look and feel of its bigger sister. Features include a large aft sun pad, a port-side walk-through, luxurious cockpit seating, good sized toilet compartment, and a wealth of optional extras.

The Southampton International Boat Show is the first opportunity for boating enthusiasts to view the Intender 850 in the UK. Get along and see us. You are going to love this Interboat model.

Get close-up and personal with the captivating Corsiva 750 Tender

The latest addition to the exceptional Corsiva line of boats, the Corsiva 750 Tender will also be making its debut in 2024. Functionally brilliant and sleek in design, this boat is captivating and practical to handle on the water.

The Corsiva 750 Tender is the longest tender in the Corsiva family, measuring 7.5 metres. Powered by up to a 175 HP engine, it boasts impressive performance capabilities, yet its remarkably responsive handling and smooth manoeuvrability make it suitable for experienced boaters and beginners alike.

The boat’s interior has been thoughtfully designed to ensure a refined boating experience. A spacious deck provides ample room for relaxing and socialising, while comfortable seating and optimally placed amenities ensure a first-class boating excursion.

Various customisation options ensure this boat meets your unique preferences for an unparalleled boating experience. The Corsiva 750 Tender promises to be another hugely popular model and a not-to-be-missed exhibit at the show.

Now available! Don’t miss seeing the Interboat Intender 950 Cabrio

We were excited to introduce the Interboat Intender 950 Cabrio at this show last year – and visitors will be able to view it again in 2024.

The largest dayboat in the Interboat fleet, the Intender 950 Cabrio is a fantastic boat for days out with larger groups. Characterised by its superior open sloop with large cosy seats, spacious cockpit, large sunbed, and bathing platform, the Cabrio offers an unrivalled amount of social space and comfort. A cuddy cabin features an L-shaped bench, and there’s also an electric flush toilet.

Maintaining the quality of the Interboat series, this model is powered from 52 to 320 hp via its inboard diesel at a maximum speed of approx. 45 km/h (25 knots). A stunning boat, the Cabrio is rated Cat C for 14 persons on coastal waters.

We hope to see you at the Southampton International Boat Show

Lisa Anacora, Managing Director of Val Wyatt, said: “We look forward to this event every year and can’t wait to return to the south coast for another Southampton International Boat Show. Val Wyatt has showcased some of the best boats suitable for UK waters at this brilliant event for four decades.

“We are excited and proud to showcase this year’s excellent debuts – the exquisite Interboat Intender 850 and the wonderfully sleek Corsiva 750 Tender. Both have already received a fantastic reception abroad. We expect a similarly positive response in Southampton, so do visit us at berths M215 – M217 and M307 – M309 in the marina.

“We are also delighted to be displaying two flagship models from the Haines portfolio, another boat building company we enjoy close ties with. The Haines 400 on show has been sold during its build, and we’re grateful to the new owners to allow us to show her to SIBS visitors.

”Our team will be on-site across all ten days of the event to provide guided tours and answer your questions. This is also the first year that we have our Chichester Sales Office open, meaning visitors can also come and do sea trials of certain Haines and Interboat for a few days after the show.

“We’d love to meet you, whether you are an accomplished boating enthusiast, a beginner, or a curious visitor. Make sure you say hello to our friendly team and explore our fantastic line-up of boats.”
