From Thursday 29 May to Monday 2 June 2025, the Venice Boat Show returns to the spectacular setting of the Arsenale di Venezia, transforming the historic naval heart of the city into a showcase of maritime excellence. Now in its sixth edition, the event continues to grow as one of the most important international fairs dedicated to boating and nautical innovation.
With over 50,000 square meters of exhibition space—including docks, restored pavilions, and a breathtaking water basin—the Venice Boat Show offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the very best in design, engineering, and craftsmanship. From luxurious yachts to cutting-edge electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vessels, the future of sailing is on full display.
Special highlights include the E-Village for electric boats, the exciting E-Regatta, and a full calendar of meetings, talks, and conferences on design, sustainability, and maritime technology. Visitors can also enjoy artistic installations, guided tours, children’s workshops, live demonstrations, and thrilling regattas.
Traditional Venetian shipbuilding—deeply rooted in the city’s amphibious identity—is celebrated alongside modern marine design, with spaces dedicated to craftsmanship, nautical furnishings, and local creativity. Food stands offering Venetian specialties and themed merchandise enhance the vibrant atmosphere.
Promoted by the Municipality of Venice and organized by Vela Spa in collaboration with the Italian Navy, the Venice Boat Show 2025 is more than a trade fair—it’s a celebration of the sea, innovation, and Venice’s enduring relationship with water.
