From May 27, 2026
Venice Boat Show
The seventh edition of the Venice Boat Show opens on May 27, 2026, bringing the true jewels of the sea to the Lagoon until May 31, 2026.
This event, now well-established among the leading international nautical fairs, combines shipbuilding excellence, innovation, and historic charm.
In the historic setting of the Venice Arsenal, the productive heart of Venice’s maritime power, the Boat Show renews the profound bond between the city and the culture of the sea.
Venice and the legacy of the Serenissima
The Arsenale is not just an exhibition space, but a symbol of Venice’s identity. Founded in the Middle Ages, it was the nerve center of the Venetian Republic, where the galleys that sailed the Mediterranean were mass-produced.
A cutting-edge production model for its time, it made Venice one of Europe’s greatest naval powers.
Today, among its docks and ancient tese, tradition meets the most advanced technologies of contemporary nautical industry.
The numbers of an international success
The 2025 edition confirmed the show’s steady growth: 270 exhibitors, 300 boats spread across a 55,000 m2 waterfront, for an immersive and enveloping experience dedicated to professionals, owners, and enthusiasts.
Also in 2025, the Arsenale hosted 15 world premieres, offering a unique glimpse into the new designs and stylistic and functional synergies that are redefining motor and sailing boats.
Particular attention was paid to catamarans and innovative onboard living solutions, increasingly focused on comfort, sustainability, and technological integration.
The 2026 edition: innovation, sustainability and vision
The 2026 Venice Boat Show promises to be a strategic platform for the Mediterranean and international markets.
Ample space will be dedicated to electric and hybrid propulsion, sustainable materials, and the new frontiers of nautical design.
Five days of presentations, thematic conferences, B2B meetings, on-water trials, and sporting regattas will offer a privileged insight into the latest innovations, research, and trends in the sector.
Promoters and organization
The Venice Boat Show is promoted by the City of Venice and organized by Vela S.p.A. in collaboration with the Italian Navy.
This institutional synergy helps strengthen the event’s positioning as an international hub for the maritime economy.
With its unique combination of millennia-old history, design excellence, and openness to the future, the 7th Venice Boat Show is once again preparing to transform the Lagoon into the international capital of yachting.
