Organised by the National Boat Shows the event featured 600 exhibitors and more than 1,000 boats on display from 12 - 21 September.
"The Show and the industry in general have faced a challenge by way of a series of difficult economic situations hitting the global banking industry and financial markets," said National Boat Shows chairman Paul Strzelecki.
"We experienced a slower beginning but were delighted to finish the show only 5% lower than last year's stunning attendance of 127,000 which was the third highest in the Show's history."
