Barcelona International Boat Show 2026 to Feature Largest Ever Fleet Plus New Marina and Water Sports Areas

The Salon Nautico Internacional de Barcelona returns to Port Vell from October 14 to 18, 2026, organized by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with the National Association of Nautical Companies (ANEN). The show will feature the widest selection of boats across all sizes from leading national and international brands, spread across three Port Vell docks: Muelle de la Fusta for major motor yacht brands and sports craft, and Muelle de Espana plus Marina Port Vell for sailing boats and catamarans, which also hosts the event Village. New for this edition is an on-water test zone where prospective buyers can trial boats and assess their performance and maneuverability at sea. A new covered pavilion at Muelle de la Fusta will house two additional themed areas: Marinas and Harbour Facilities, promoting sports marinas as key nautical and maritime tourism infrastructure; and Diving, Shopping and Water Sports, spotlighting scuba diving, water sports, and the nautical lifestyle for professionals and enthusiasts alike. A professional agenda focusing on innovation and sustainability rounds out the program.
