On Sunday 24th April, Beaulieu will be holding its annual Boatjumble – the largest outdoor sale of boating items in Europe.
Now in its 39th year, this event remains a key date in the boating calendar, giving enthusiasts an opportunity to snap up some fantastic nautical bargains before the beginning of the sailing season.
Stands at the Boatjumble
With thousands of new and used boating bargains, the Boatjumble makes for an unmissable event for all boating enthusiasts. With products from big name brands, many at special show offers, alongside forgotten treasures, you’ll find it all at Beaulieu!
Beaulieu’s Events Manager, Judith Maddox, said: “The Ask the Experts feature introduced by the show’s sponsor Practical Boat Owner, last year was a great success and will be repeated again this year. It offers show visitors an opportunity to take part in hands-on demonstrations, learn top tips and get the answers to burning boating questions from a team of leading marine specialists.”
Plenty of choice at the stands
The Boatmall has the latest products from leading manufacturers displaying trailerable yachts, dinghies, motorboats, accessories, clothing and services. If you are looking for a used boat, the Boatmart, offers a unique opportunity to browse around a wide range of used craft for sale, from classics to nearly new and those in need of restoration.

In the Trunk Traders area, amateur jumblers clearing out their lockers, sheds and garages of boating bits, can sell their surplus second-hand sailing items from the boot of their car. Trading is brisk, so get there early.
