London Luxury Afloat 2023: High-end boat show to return to St Katharine Docks

The yachting show London Luxury Afloat will be returning to the capital later this month, with several high-end brands already lined-up to exhibit some of their most impressive crafts.

Scheduled to be run from April 18-22 at St Katharine Docks, Tower Hamlets, Luxury London Afloat provides attendees with the opportunity to view and have tours of various yachts.

Among those already confirmed to be exhibiting at the show is Oyster Yachts, which will be showcasing the Oyster 565 and the winner of the European Yachts of the Year, the Oyster 495.

Sunseeker will also be displaying some of its luxury models, with more announcements to be revealed in the coming weeks.

In addition to the yachts, a selection of exhibitors on the shoreline will also be on-hand to entertain attendees.

These include displays of smaller boats, plus complimentary products and services.

Ashley Highfield, chief executive at Oyster Yachts, said: “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.”

Christopher Head, Sunseeker London group sales director, added: ‘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 Sunseeker models.

“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 looks forward to warmly welcoming all visitors on board and enjoying a successful show”.

On the announcement that the show is coming back to Tower Hamlets, IGY Marinas marketing director of Europe, Debbie Parsons-Randle, said: “We are delighted to have London Luxury Afloat returning to St Katharine Docks, an IGY Destination, for 2023.

“It is a privilege to be working with British Marine as the host marina for this showcase event, which brings some of the most luxurious sail and motor yachts on the market to the heart of London.

“St Katharine’s is so much more than a marina and events such as this really showcase what the marina team can achieve in partnership with large event organisers and stakeholders.”
