Looking ship shape! Made In Chelsea's Lucy Watson puts on a leggy display in a cobalt mini-dress as she returns from Barbados to open The London Boat Show

She's no stranger to the deck of a luxury power boat and has just jetted back from a swanky Caribbean new year's holiday with her co-star beau James Dunmore.

And Lucy Watson, 24, showed no signs of relinquishing the high life any time soon as she officially opened the 62nd London Boat Show at ExCeL London on Friday.

Looking ship shape as she jetted back from her Barbados break for the occasion, the Made In Chelsea beauty put on a leggy display in a chic cobalt minidress.   

Ahoy there! Lucy Watson, 24, jetted back from her Barbados holiday to officially open the 62nd London Boat Show at ExCeL London on Friday

All aboard: Looking ship shape as she jetted back from her Barbados break for the occasion, the Made In Chelsea beauty put on a leggy display in a chic cobalt minidress 

The bold-coloured creation flattered the reality TV star's slender frame and displayed her long, toned legs to perfection.

Opting for minimal jewellery and make-up  - simple gold chain and red lips - Lucy let her shoes steal the show.

Bronzed glow: Looking happy and relaxed as she officially declared the annual event open, the pretty brunette showcased her envy-inducing holiday tan in her cute outfit

Sea legs: The bold-coloured creation flattered the reality TV star's slender frame and displayed her long, toned legs to perfection

Crewed up: Lucy was surrounded by a crew of hotties who were all hands on deck the sunseeker 131, the ultimate in super boating luxury

Luminous: The 25 year old's skin looked lightly tanned and flawless with just a few slicks of mascara and a red lip finishing off her look

She completed her on-board attire with a pair of stand-out killer red patent stilettos and matching lipstick. 

But in keeping with yacht rules, the TV star was required to cover the ice-pick thin gold heels of her shoes with protective cloth bags to prevent marking the highly polished - and expensive - wooden deck.

Lucy was at the 62nd annual London Boat show which is being held at the ExCeL in East London for ten days until January 17 and is the capital's biggest yet.

Captain of the ship: Lucy, who is no stranger to the open seas and has been seen partying with friends and other cast members on board yachts, took to the wheel as a couple of her crew members looked on

The pretty brunette looked as if she was having an ocean of fun on board the Sunseeker 131, the ultimate in premium super yachts.

Worth a cool £18 million, it is the longest boat ever to be displayed at the show. 

But it wasn't the only thing drawing admiring looks as a smiling Lucy surrounded herself with a crew of hunks who were all hands on deck to help her out.

Boys on board: Lucy was no doubt enjoying the view as she stepped onto the longest boat that has ever been displayed at The London Boat Show

Ships away: The reality TV star looked particularly pleased with herself as she drew admiring glances from the deck hands behind her

Enjoying the attention, Lucy, a self-confessed boat enthusiast who is often spotted on the open seas with other Made In Chelsea cast members and friends, has formerly dated co-stars Jamie Laing, Spencer Matthews and Oliver Proudlock.

She has been dating former co-star, James Dunmore, since last year. 

While at the event, Lucy tweeted to her fans: 'Excited to launch the 62nd @loveboatshows! Check out this super yacht!'

Return of the mac: The star kept the chill and rain at bay with a fashion classic, the Mac as she opened the event at ExCeL, which runs until January 17 and attracts visitors from all over the world

Cast away; looking tanned and healthy, Lucy, who has dated former co-stars Jamie Laing, Spencer Matthews and Oliver Proudlock, relaxed and enjoyed the luxurious surroundings of the exquisite boat
