The show co-located with The Outdoors Show and The London Bike Show. Combined, the three exhibitions recorded 140,164 visitors.
Guests this year enjoyed the addition of a Watersports Action Pool and Used Boat Marina. The latter saw more than half of all boats on display sold.
"We have worked extremely hard to create a ten day event that our exhibitors would be proud of and the response we have had from exhibitors and visitors is that the ‘wow’ factor is certainly back," said show organiser NBS managing director Andrew Williams.
"The stunning new east entrance giving a glimpse of the watersports pool and some of the exciting action has given visitors a hint of what is to come before they have even walked through the ticket barriers."
Though up on last year’s performance the show is still 2% down on 2008’s figures.
