London Boat Show

How do you show yachts in a dry exhibition hall?

The London Boat Show was Europe’s first boat show and is still the leading marine event.

DMN is the UK’s largest single contractor for the Boat Show and has worked with the organisers for more than 12 years.

The event was held at Earls Court for many years but eventually outgrew the space, and the exhibition moved to Excel.

A new approach

A new approach was needed, and DMN was appointed to design and build an indoor (dry) marina.

Twelve years later and DMN is still the lead contractor tasked with building the complex infrastructure that has made the London Boat Show an unparalleled success.

The work includes building the jetties, canopies, staircases and panelling to hide keels, some of which can be more than 40ft high.
