The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome show at the NEC, Birmingham, has over 400 exhibitors this year. It's the Midlands' number one destination for viewing the latest innovations in the caravan, campervan, camping, motorhome, and marine industries.

The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome show at the NEC, Birmingham, is the UK's biggest start-of-season showcase.

At Boatworld, we know that for motorhome owners, campers, and van-lifers, the two biggest questions are always: "Where do I put it?" and "How much does it weigh?" We are back at the NEC 4060 to solve those problems. 

This year, we are showcasing a range of boats that pack down into car boots, slide into side lockers, and even fit into a backpack, giving you the freedom to get on the water without the hassle of a trailer.

The Lite Range: Freedom for Walkers and the Wild Camper

COMPACT - GRAB AND GO

Meet the ultimate space-saver. If you thought you didn't have room for a boat, think again. The new Boatworld Lite Range (available in 170, 190, 220, and 240 sizes) is designed for the solo explorer or couple who need absolute portability. Designed for the solo traveller, hiker, and wild camper. If your idea of adventure is finding a spot away from the crowds, the Boatworld Lite Range is your perfect choice.

This inflatable boat range is about accessible adventure. We will be showcasing the 170, 200, and 240 models side-by-side so you can find the balance between weight and space that works for you.

For the Hiker (170 & 190)
These models pack down so small that they fit into a backpack. Trek to that hidden mountain lake or hike down to a remote cove; this boat goes where you go.

For the Camper (220 & 240)
Slightly more room for kit, but still light enough to carry from the campsite to the water's edge without breaking a sweat.

The Setup
See them rigged with the ePropulsion eLite. It’s the ultimate "grab-and-go" package; lightweight, silent, and emission-free.

Go Anywhere
Launch from the bank, the beach, or the trail; no slipway needed.

Budget Friendly
Get on the water without the high cost of larger vessels.

True Portability
Designed for those who travel light and travel solo.

Boatworld 330 Air V & Tohatsu 9.9hp: The Ultimate All-Rounder

TOURING AND FAMILY

Whether you are a couple looking for a fun day out exploring the coast, or a family planning a summer of water sports, the Boatworld 330 Air V is the versatile solution that does it all.

This package strikes the perfect balance between performance and portability. We’ve paired the Air V with the Tohatsu 9.9hp EFI, a powerful yet easy-to-use outboard. It gives you the punchy performance you want for cruising and exploring, but remains light enough to lift into the boot of a car or a van locker without a struggle.

Forget the trailer and the mooring fees. This is a "proper" boat that offers a dry, stable ride, yet packs away into a bag when the weekend is over.

Power Without The Weight
The Tohatsu 9.9hp EFI delivers smooth, fuel-efficient power, ideal for cruising.

Comfort And Stability
The V-hull design cuts through chop, while the air deck provides a spacious, comfortable area to escape reality for a while. 

Fits Your Life
The entire setup deflates in minutes and slides easily into a car boot or storage locker.

Adventure Ready
Ideal for river trips, coastal hopping, or just finding a quiet bay for a picnic.

Boatworld Kayak 295 & Borika Rig: The Accessible Fishing Rig

FISHING

For the angler who wants to fish rivers, lakes, and coasts without the hassle. The Kayak 295 inflatable boat is the smart alternative to a solid vessel.

This is a true crossover boat, bridging the gap between a kayak and a small inflatable. It offers the agility you need for fishing, but unlike a solid kayak, it requires no roof rack and no garage space. Keep it in your boot, drive to your spot, and be on the water in minutes.

The Power Pairing
On the stand, we are pairing this rig with the Tohatsu 3.5hp. This is the ultimate lightweight engine choice, giving you enough power to reach the best spots without weighing you down. With its internal fuel tank and carry-handle design, it fits perfectly with the "no-hassle" ethos of this setup.

Prefer silent running? This rig is also perfectly balanced for the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus, offering a zero-emission alternative that matches the Tohatsu for portability and ease of use.

This makes it the ultimate tool for the stealth angler. The instant torque and silent operation allow you to glide into shallow waters and sensitive environments without disturbing the peace, or the fish.

Rigged with the Borika universal mount system, you can turn this compact inflatable into a pro-level fishing station. Clip on rod holders, fish finders, and bait trays in seconds.

Access All Areas
Light enough to launch from steep riverbanks or shallow beaches where trailers can't go.

Portable Power
See it rigged with the Tohatsu 3.5hp; light, compact, and ready to go.

True Portability
More portable than a solid kayak with no special stowage required. Just pack it in the bag and go.

Versatile
Stable enough to stand and cast, tough enough for the coast.

Mistral Inflatable SUPs

We are proud to showcase two specific high-performance inflatable boards from the iconic Mistral range. We chose to partner with Mistral because they have mastered creating SUPs that don't feel like inflatables.

Using advanced "Fusion Layer" technology, these boards offer the rigidity of a hard board on the water while rolling up into a compact backpack for easy transport. It is premium performance that fits in your boot, caravan, or locker; perfect for those who want a top-tier paddling experience without the storage headache.

On The Stand: Which Inflatable Suits You?
Since we know storage is key, we have selected the two most versatile shapes that cover almost every paddler's needs:

The Inflatable All-Rounder (10'6"): The ultimate "grab-and-go" family choice. Stable, forgiving, and incredibly light, it inflates in minutes to provide a rock-solid platform for beach days and beginners. When you're done, it simply deflates and rolls away, no roof rack required.

The Inflatable Tourer (11'5"): For those looking to explore further. This model features a sleeker, longer outline that cuts through chop and tracks straighter for river cruising or camping trips. It delivers the performance of a touring hull in the convenience of a backpack, allowing you to hike to remote launch sites with ease.

WE'RE BACK IN OUR USUAL SPOT

Come and see us on stand 4060 on the upper level.
