Here comes the new Naples Boat Show, a boat show scheduled for March 18-22, 2026 at the Stabia Marina, one of the best equipped in the Gulf of Naples. Looking for a new boat? This is the place to be, but with an important advantage over other events: here the boats are placed directly in the water, ready for sailing.
We know it well, seeing a boat is only one part. Sea trials do the rest because it is only there that we have the confirmation: it is the right one or not. The biggest advantage of the Napoli Boat Show is that all the boats will be ready to sail, so you simply need to get in touch with the shipyards and exhibitors to book a slot and be able to go out to sea. A big plus for shipyards, too, for that matter, because this way you can optimize your time at the show and figure out right away which potential customers are most interested.
The choice of location, the Stabia Marina, meets criteria of logistical and technical efficiency. The infrastructure has full shipyard services, travel lifts and moorings sized for different types of units, simplifying the phases of outfitting and handling of vessels. Moreover, the presence of the Yacht Club and reserved lounge areas, spaces designed to facilitate professional networking and B2C negotiations in a context of absolute confidentiality are elements not to be underestimated for an exhibition event.
Also playing its part, finally, is the Gulf of Naples. The allure of sea trials, carried out with the backdrop of the Campania Coast and islands, are a magical place to put the hulls to the test: the sea and the pleasure of seeing the Italian coast from a different perspective.
