Whether you’re a boating novice, marine veteran or you just like playing around on the water, London Boat show tickets are the perfect way to experience the best of the boating world in London.
This year's show was launched by Griff Rhys Jones alongside boating legend Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.
Bursting with new, exciting and interactive things to do and see, London Boat Show tickets allow you into a celebration of Britain's island state, with everything from seafaring skills, boat design, talks about coastal life, demonstrations and the chance to take part in some watersports. So if you're stuck for something to do in January get some London Boat Show Tickets and indulge your nautical side.
Not just for those in the know, London Boat Show tickets will also allow you gaze at the new 37 metre Sunseeker Yacht at the exhibition marina, which provides room for ten people and a crew and contains all the creature comforts you'd normally expect to find in a luxury penthouse including a vast kitchen, dining area, sitting room and bathroom with his and hers basins.
The nautical event brings together the largest and most varied collection of boats in the UK as well as attracting an interesting and exciting array of boating personalities and marine experts. Budding boat owners can check out the latest innovations and products on the market at the London Boat Show 2008, while boating novices can learn everything there is to know about boating and watersports.
Visitors can explore hundreds of different world class makes and models of boats from multimillion pound motor cruisers to one man lasers and inflatable RIBS, and everything in between. Climb aboard a Royal Navy Destroyer or check out some of the classic boats on show at ExCel
Specialists ranging from finance experts through to sailing schools will make sure that visitors leave the London Boat Show 2008 armed with all the information they need to buy a bigger boat or think about sailing for the first time. A range of interactive features will help visitors new to boating to learn all they can about anchor boats, using gear correctly, navigating in fog, and maintaining an engine.
Alongside the spectacular aerial Sea Queen stage show and fashion show, you'll also be able to take advantage of masterclasses led by sailing geniuses including Mike Golding, Geoff Holt and Adrian Flanagan.
This year fans of all kinds of boats will be fascinated to see the Cutty Sark Trust working on various sections of the ship throughout the show. Bringing back to life and lovingly restoring the famous Tea Clipper, you can see them in action as they use cutting edge technology and time honoured craftsmanship.
There'll be plenty of information on watersports too so adrenaline junkies and wetsuit fans will be in seventh heaven when they pick up their London Boat Show tickets. Those of you that like the idea of some of the sports but are a little afraid of what they might be like are catered for too. The London Boat Show has simulators enabling you to try out kite-surfing, dinghy sailing and ocean racing without getting wet, or scaring yourself silly.
