Final countdown to Portsmouth Powerboat and RIB Show
The Powerboat and RIB Show, due to take place at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth from 11 to 13 May, is aiming to bring the joy of power-driven boating to a whole new audience
Sponsored by Suzuki, this free, family-friendly event will offer plenty for visitors to see and do - including the chance to get out on the water and experience free powerboat rides in the Solent. Disability sports ambassador Geoff Holt MBE’s new nine-metre Cheetah catamaran powered by two Suzuki 300hp outboards will be on show, as will a range of boats for sale from top names such as Jeanneau, Prestige and Sea-Doo.
In fact, some of the biggest names in the marine industry have also signed up to appear at the event, including Raymarine, Garmin, Ribeye, Navico, Ribquest and Piranha RIBs. All will have plenty of goods available to browse and buy - and when you’ve finished with the boats and accessories, you can take advantage of the show’s fantastic venue with all the outlet shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues that Gunwharf Quays has to offer. The festival will be open from 9am to 7pm on all three days, so to find out more and to plan your visit, see Powerboat and RIB Show or twitter.com/powerandribshow.
