Chipping Norton, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 02, 2010 -- As September approaches, Southampton will see thousands descend upon its shores for the highly acclaimed annual Boat Show. The show continues to attract an increased level of interest across avid boat admirers and marine enthusiasts everywhere, with fans travelling not only from within the UK, but from all over the world. Visitors can expect to experience one of the world's largest purpose built mariners within which over 350 stunning boats will be displayed over a period of 10 days, with a grand total of over 1,000 boats on show in total. With large events such as this drumming up interest from new and varied markets, boat insurance is more important than ever, to ensure that your vessels don't attract the wrong kind of attention.
Naturally, large events such as the 2010 PSP Southampton Boat Show will draw a high amount media and public attention. Enjoyable occasions they may be, but such events also highlight the true value of boats, offering a renewed and tempting target to thieves. David Quick, Director of Insure My Boat, has warned against the effects of such public exposure:
"Boat festivals are a fantastic asset to the industry, due to the publicity generated, which in turn leads to a natural flourish in the boating market. However, with such large collections of boats openly on display, the risk of damage or theft is also higher due to the greater appeal to thieves. It's very important that people act with vigilance, and counteract such allure with full boat insurance, in order to avoid such devastating consequences should your vessel be stolen."
With over 47,000m² of exhibition space, containing over 600 exhibitors, it's no wonder that criminals may gain a sudden interest in the marine sector, given the presence of boats of all sizes, including multi-million pound yachts.
The show, which is due to take place between 10-19th September, presents an excellent opportunity for those considering purchasing a boat to get a feel for the true magnificence of each model on offer. With the chance for revellers to take to the waters themselves upon some of the vessels on display, and the special show prices available throughout the event, many will be tempted to take splash out on a new boat. Given the good spirit of the event, it would be a terrible shame to see such fine vessels lost due to inadequate or absence of boat insurance.
