Napoli Boat Show: Everything is set for the inaugural edition

Napoli Boat Show © LLiquida

From 18 to 22 March at Marina di Stabia, over 100 brands on display. Boats in the water, sea trials in the Gulf of Naples and a format designed to bring buyers and exhibitors together. Here is the full list of exhibitors.

The countdown is over. From 18 to 22 March 2026, the Napoli Boat Show opens its doors at Marina di Stabia, Castellammare di Stabia (Wed-Sun 10:00-18:30, Fri 10:00-22:00). Five days in which recreational boating moves off the forecourt and into the water: every vessel on display is moored and ready to sail, with sea trials available on booking in the Gulf of Naples.

The format is that of a boutique boat show — not a general trade fair, but an event built around the encounter between boat manufacturers and buyers. Ticketed entry, a curated audience, and marina-grade facilities. The setting does the rest: the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento, Capri and Ischia provide a natural backdrop for every sea trial. A test-drive experience with few equivalents in the Mediterranean.

The numbers of the first edition

The Napoli Boat Show brings together over 100 brands across multiple categories: motorboats, traditional gozzi, RIBs, personal watercraft, water toys, marine engines, accessories, services and charter operators. The range is broad, from tenders to superyachts, with names spanning Italian boatbuilders and international marques.

Charter and tourism

Reflecting the show's connection to the wider region, Rimà Charter and Pompei Grand Tour are also in attendance, the latter offering integrated tourism packages combining sailing with visits to archaeological sites.

The format: ready-to-sea

The Napoli Boat Show inverts conventional exhibition logic. Every vessel is moored in the marina and available for sea trials, bookable directly with the exhibitor. This is not an option reserved for a handful of models — it is the standard: the Gulf of Naples becomes the show's test ground.

The infrastructure of Marina di Stabia — designed by the Massimiliano Fuksas studio — supports this approach: 900 berths, superyacht moorings for vessels up to 100 metres, a boatyard with a 200-tonne travel lift, a heliport, and a Yacht Club with lounge areas and dedicated spaces for product presentations and B2B meetings.

Beyond the dock

On Friday evening, the Sunset programme offers an after-show event at which each exhibitor can receive clients in their own space for informal networking.

The strategic location of Marina di Stabia allows visitors to combine the show with the surrounding area: Pompeii, Herculaneum, Castellammare di Stabia, the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf islands are all within easy reach, making the Napoli Boat Show an event that extends well beyond its five days on the water.
