Salone Nautico Internazionale di Genova

A global showcase for boating

The Genoa International Boat Show is the most important event in the Mediterranean dedicated to recreational boating and one of the top shows worldwide. Organized by Confindustria Nautica, it brings together the best of international production in Genoa, the capital of Liguria and the heart of Italian shipbuilding: from sailboats to large superyachts, from RIBs to the most innovative accessories and technologies.

The Levante Waterfront

Since 2022, the Show has been held at the renovated Levante Waterfront, an area designed by Renzo Piano that has transformed the old exhibition center into an exhibition space tailor-made for boating, with water basins, quays, and pavilions overlooking the sea. A setting that enhances the very nature of the event.

A multispecialist show

The exhibition is organized into five major thematic areas - Yachts & Superyachts, Sailing World, Boating Discovery, Tech Trade, and Living the Sea - allowing visitors to explore all segments of the sector. Alongside the stands, the Show offers a packed program of events, conferences, and awards, including the Design Innovation Award and the World Yachting Sustainability Forum.

More than a trade fair

The Boat Show is also a major event for the city: for a few days, Genoa becomes the world capital of the sea, animating the waterfront and the entire city. An event that combines business, nautical culture, technological innovation, and passion for the sea.
