During a glamorous fifties-esque performance, Tamara Ecclestone and a group of synchronized swimmers declared the 2012 Tullett Prebon London Boat Show officially open. The show, held at ExCel, will be open through January 15 to showcase up to 500 exhibitors and 1,000 boats.

The biggest boat on display at the show is the Sunseeker 40M. It is also the most expensive yacht, worth 17.5 million pounds. This year, the Luxury Lifestyle and Supercar Showcase gives an extra dose of hauteness to the show. The gallery showcases some of the most lavish brands, such as Mayfair Gallery, Wayne Pollock Travel—which offers bespoke holidays—Clive Christian and Range Rover.

Notable personalities and celebrities will make appearances during the ten-day show. Michelin-starred chef Adam Grey will be in attendance, along with Shelley Jory-Leigh, Mark Covell and Mike Golding.
