Visit the UK's best-loved on-water Boat Show this September and experience Britain's original on-water boat show, the PSP Southampton Boat Show, which returns to Mayflower Park this year. Running from 14th - 23rd September, the Show features one of Europe's largest purpose-built marinas with over 2km of pontoons and up to 1,000 boats.

The Show offers the chance to get out on the water, watch live cooking tutorials and see demonstrations from the Royal Marines Association as well as impressive flotillas. The world-class event is also the first place to see World, European and UK launches of boats and products and is the only place you can try on and compare the latest equipment and models all in one place.

With so many things to see, do and learn there really is something for all boating enthusiasts, those new to the water and the whole family. Throughout the Show, celebrating its 44th year, visitors can marvel at boats ranging from £300 dinghies to multi-million pound sailing and motor yachts. Family favourites alongside many new attractions, coupled with stunning views of the marina, will make for an enjoyable day, so there's no excuse not to go and soak up the atmosphere!

The PSP Southampton Boat Show is delighted to announce TV chef Mark Sargeant's appearance at the Show. Owner and chef of two stunning Folkestone restaurants and previous head chef of Gordon Ramsay's Claridge's, Mark Sargeant will prepare meals live at the Show for daily tastings at the Chef's Top Table, as well as presenting master classes on his passion - seafood. Mark Sargeant, a connoisseur of all things from the sea, opened two restaurants in the coastal town of Folkestone in Kent in 2011.

'Rocksalt' is the harbour-front restaurant and bar, while 'The Smokehouse' provides fabulous fish and chips. He also co-presents Saturday Cookbook, ITV's flagship Saturday morning cookery show and is a regular face on BBC Saturday Kitchen and Food Network UK shows. For more visit www.southamptonboatshow.com
