“We are delighted to be returning to the heart of the capital for London Luxury Afloat following the success of the inaugural show in 2022.  It was a wonderful event and St Katharine Docks provided the perfect backdrop for the launch of our luxury 50-foot bluewater cruiser, the Oyster 495, winner of the European Yacht of the Year.  We are still confirming our final line up for the 2023 show, but visitors can rest assured we will be showcasing a number of stunning Oysters, as we celebrate our 50-year anniversary”, commented Ashley Highfield, CEO, Oyster Yachts. 

‘We were excited to be a part of the inaugural London Luxury Afloat display in St. Katharine Docks last year and are pleased to confirm that we will be returning in 2023 with three luxury Sun-seeker models”, commented Christopher Head, Sun-seeker London, Group Sales Director. 

Chris added: “These yachts showcase the very best in design and innovation from our in-house teams and each model offers a unique proposition across the size and product ranges we have on offer. Our team look forward to warmly welcoming all visitors on board and enjoying a successful Show”. 

Speaking about the upcoming show, Lesley Robinson, CEO, British Marine commented: “We received incredible feedback from visitors and exhibitors following the inaugural event last year indicating that there was a clear appetite for this kind of show in London and this year’s show promises to be another stunning event.  

“We have already added an additional day and will be adding to the incredible line-up of yachts that we saw in 2022. 

“It is not only a unique day out, but it also provides the perfect opportunity for anyone serious about purchasing one of these luxury craft the chance to view different models side by side, as well as soaking up the atmosphere of the show.” 

To complement the impressive line-up of yachts on display, there will be a selection of shoreside exhibitors featuring smaller craft and complimentary products and services.
