Southampton Boat Show

[Danny_Labrador]

Book early!

Our usual B&B seem to have let us down this year.... with us being from uup noorth we are a little short of local knowledge ... anyone have any suggestions / recommendation's for accommodation for swmbo and I this year ?

Don't do it!!
We went last year purely for a day out and now we are taking delivery of our new Jeanneau during this years boat show.

Boat shows can seriously damage your wealth.

Yeah but it's fun to watch people getting sucked in and realising they've spent more than they've got.

You could try some B and B's outside of Southampton. I happen to live in Brockenhurst in the New Forest which is about 15 mins by train from the show, very quiet and tranquil after a hard day bashing the wallet. Foresters pub great for food and pain killing drinks!

And no I'm not a B and B owner!

Separate question about the show. I took a look at their site, and while I admit I didn't hang around it too long I couldn't find a list of the boats that are being exhibited this year. Does such a thing exist or am I going to have to talk to lots of brokerage offices?

The Grapes, Oxford Street does B&B for £45 a night and I'd recommend it as a pub, but I've never seen the inside of their rooms. Yet.
