Barcelona International Boat Show 2026: Oct 14-18 at Port Vell with New Zones and Water Trials

The Barcelona International Boat Show will return to Port Vell from October 14 to 18, 2026, organized by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with the National Association of Nautical Companies (ANEN). This year edition will span three piers of Port Vell, showcasing a wide range of vessels from sports boats to motor yachts, sailboats and catamarans. A new covered pavilion at the Muelle de la Fusta will house two additional themed areas: Marinas & Harbour Facilities, dedicated to promoting marinas as key sector infrastructure, and Diving, Shopping & Water Sports, focused on diving and water sports lifestyles. A new on-water test zone will allow potential buyers to trial vessels firsthand, assessing performance and maneuverability at sea. Event president Luis Conde emphasized the show position as a key commercial platform, while ANEN director Jordi Carrasco called for stronger commercial impact and buyer attraction in 2026. Event director Josep Antoni Llopart noted the show continues evolving to meet the needs of both buyers and enthusiasts. A professional agenda centered on innovation and sustainability will complement the nautical exhibition.
