Barcelona International Boat Show will return to Barcelona’s Port Vell in October, bringing together a wide selection of boats, showcased by leading national and international companies. The event will expand its offering with new areas dedicated to marinas, diving and water sports, as well as an on-water trials zone.
Organised by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with the National Association of Nautical Companies (ANEN), the Boat Show will run 14-18 October.
The event will spread across three piers in port Vell, distributing its offer according to boat type. The Moll de la Fusta pier will again host major motor yacht brands afloat, alongside the sports boat and equipment sector, while the España and Marina Port Vell piers will serve as mooring points for sailboats and catamarans, as well as hosting the event’s Village.
Likewise, this year the show will feature a new exhibition and in-water testing area, designed to allow potential buyers and visitors to experience the vessels first-hand.
The general director of ANEN, Jordi Carrasco, stated: “We are confident that the Barcelona Boat Show will strengthen its role in 2026, focusing on the current needs of companies: greater sales momentum and attraction of buyers. At ANEN, we believe that this new edition will establish itself as an effective platform to boost business, generate opportunities and strengthen the positioning of recreational boating both nationally and internationally.”
Show director, Josep Antoni Llopart, added: “The show continues to evolve to adapt and meet the needs of buyers and fans through new itineraries on offer and tailored experiences, which is why we have incorporated more content to make the visit more attractive and useful.”
The Boat Show’s offering will also include a professional agenda focused on innovation and sustainability, with the participation of experts and key stakeholders from the sector.
