- The event will hold its next edition from 28 October to 1 November, with an expanded exhibition area
The Valencian boat show will move its dates forward to September from 2027 onwards
The venue will remain at Marina Port Valencia
The Valencia Boat Show, València’s international boat show, will hold its 17th edition from 28 October to 1 November 2026 at Marina Port Valencia, at the foot of the iconic Veles e Vents building.
Following the success of its most recent edition, the event strengthens its strategic alliance with Marina Port Valencia and sets out a medium-term roadmap that will enable it to grow, specialise and reinforce its role within the Mediterranean nautical circuit. A shared project for the city and the sector, backed by institutional support and the commitment of shipyards and brands.
More space and strategic growth
In line with the natural evolution of the project and the demands of exhibitors themselves, the Valencia Boat Show will maintain its location in the heart of the marina, with the Veles e Vents building once again acting as a key partner and central hub, while significantly expanding its exhibition space both on land and on water.
On land, the show will expand eastwards with an additional 3,000 m² in the Plaça de la Sal area, making it possible to incorporate new brands, specialised areas and professional spaces.
On the water, the exhibition will feature 25 new berths, increasing the range of boats on display and paving the way for future areas dedicated to large yachts as part of the Marina Port Valencia transformation project.
With these expansions, the event reinforces its ambition to become the must-attend meeting point for the Mediterranean nautical industry.
“We believe this boat show has great potential and we want to drive it forward in the best possible way. That is why we will allocate whatever space at Marina Port Valencia is necessary to make this event happen,” says Patrick Reynés, CEO of Marina Port Valencia.

The show moves its dates forward to September from 2027
Looking ahead, the main strategic development for the Valencia Boat Show is the decision to move its dates to the last week of September for the 2027 edition and beyond.
This decision responds to requests from the exhibitor community, supports the consolidation and loyalty of participating brands, and aligns with the Marina Port Valencia project. The Valencian boat show will therefore accompany the evolution of the future marina, which will include large-yacht berths and a high-capacity boatyard, further strengthening València’s position as an international nautical destination.
“Our intention was to move the show to September in 2026, but the coincidence with other international events, which we consider to be of great importance for the city — including the presence of the TP52 fleet in València — means that we will keep the event in autumn for this next edition,” explains Isabel Gil Forteza, Director of the Valencia Boat Show, who confirms that “the project’s course is clearly set towards September from 2027 onwards”.
In 2026, the Valencia Boat Show will bring to a close a nautical autumn in València marked by international events such as the 52 Super Series Valencia Sailing Week, from 5 to 10 October, among other sporting fixtures that will consolidate the city’s status as a nautical benchmark.
This momentum has been made possible thanks to the coordination between the Regional Directorate-General for Sport and the Regional Directorate-General for Industry of the Generalitat Valenciana, which have worked together to place València at the start of a new phase of international projection, with the nautical sector as a strategic driver for the city and its economy.
Exhibitor registration for the 2026 Valencia Boat Show is now open.
