The Barcelona International Boat Show will hold its 63rd edition between October 14 and 18 at Port Vell, amid a context of growth for nautical activity.

The event, organized by Fira Barcelona and the Asociación Nacional de Empresas Náuticas (Anen), has already reserved 70% of its exhibition space. So far, more than 130 companies have confirmed their presence at an event that expects to exceed 200 total exhibitors.
The fair will be distributed between Moll de la Fusta, Moll d'Espanya, and Port Vell. While the Moll de la Fusta area will be dedicated to motorboats and accessories, the spaces at Port Vell and Moll d'Espanya will host sailboats and catamarans.
According to data presented at the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, the sector recorded a 10.6% year-on-year increase in registrations during the first five months of the year. The organization highlights that marinas are in a recovery phase, with high occupancy rates.
The total exhibition space will reach 8,700 square meters. In addition to the commercial exhibition, the program includes gastronomic proposals, conferences, and the traditional Nit Nàutica to enhance the visitor experience.
