The Boat Show expands its leisure offer to reach all sea lovers

The Barcelona International Boat Show will return to Port Vell from 14 to 18 October with new content, activities and nautical leisure proposals designed to attract the entire boating community and improve the visitor experience. In its 63rd edition, Spain's leading nautical event puts recreational and sports boating centre stage under the SeaMotion motto: a covered marquee on the Fusta quay will house the Diving, Shopping & Water Sports space, with the return of scuba diving to the show as one of its main attractions. This section will gather national and international diving destinations, dive centres, training schools, and equipment manufacturers and distributors showing the latest gear and technology, alongside outreach activities and beginners' workshops to bring the discipline to new audiences and promote safe, responsible practice. The covered pavilion will also host the Marinas & Harbour Facilities space, with a strong representation of port installations presenting their services. The experiential offer is completed by the new Experience Water zone, also on the Fusta quay, featuring a fully electric jet ski, product demonstrations by exhibitors and light-sail outings in collaboration with the Catalan Sailing Federation. Organised by Fira de Barcelona with ANEN, the show will once again gather the industry's main novelties, with more than 130 brands already confirmed and boats of all lengths, from sports craft to motor yachts, sailboats and catamarans.
