Its great fun there, I got to look on board the sunseeker predators 84 and 92, the 2 biggest yachts at the show, after being in a queue for an hour :D. You don't need to book an appointment to see the larger yachts in the exhibition halls, but with some of the companies you have to get a pass form their desk, or wait at a table while being served peanuts :), but you can visit the yachts without booking appointments. You can look around the HMS westminster too, you walk around the ships bridge, and other rooms i've never heard of :), and get to aim a minigun! AND you get to walk around an RNLI severn class lifeboat, so its well worth visiting  :)
