Alongside the visiting warships, DSEI’s dynamic waterborne demonstrations are a visitor favourite and a visual highlight of the event. The demonstrations take place daily on the Victoria Dock, and best viewed from the grandstand on the dock edge next to the East Terrace at the eastern end of ExCeL.

Taking place twice daily on the Royal Docks the demonstrations can be viewed from a purpose-built grandstand. The action will also be shown on DSEI TV which is broadcast on screens throughout the exhibition halls and via a big screen on the dock edge. Outside of the official demo times, the vessel can be taken out onto the water for private client demonstrations.
