"New Waterfront Now Features All Display Areas"

Prepare yourself for a nautical extravaganza as the 65th International Boat Show in Genoa sets sail from September 18-23. This year's event promises an unparalleled maritime spectacle, with over 1,000 boats, 23 new shipyards, and exhibitors from 45 countries taking part.

Upon arrival, visitors will pass through a thematic area before entering the main exhibition area. This year, the tent structure is divided into three macro-areas: one dedicated to technical accessories for sailing, another for tourist port facilities, and a central one formed by the Sea Theater.

The heart of the show is the excellence pavilion, designed by Jean Nouvel, which now borders the sea on every side. On the ground floor of the blue pavilion, boats with outboard motors and inflatable boats are exhibited, while the second floor hosts the stands of 400 brands of accessories and components.

The outermost large dock will showcase yachts with inboard motors from 12 to 35 meters, as well as the area dedicated to maxi-ribs, large-sized inflatable boats with lengths up to 20 meters. The world of sailing boats can be found on one side, while the moorings of motorboats equipped with outboard engines can be found on the other.

For those with a passion for sport, a thematic area dedicated to the sporting world awaits. Here, you'll find an exhibition of 5-6 meter units, comparable to optimist and laser boats but with wings on the hull. Sailing catamarans can be found near the new Pilot Tower, designed by Renzo Piano.

The boat show also offers a glimpse into the foil world, with an exhibition showcasing clothing for going to sea. Additionally, the sports hall, partially used for Euroflora 2025, will be used for the boat show, providing extra space and breath to this maritime event.

The former Genoa Fair's tent structure is still part of the exhibition this year, adding a touch of nostalgia to the modern event. The architectural firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop is responsible for the design of the new Pilot Tower at the Genoa Levante Promenade, further enhancing the show's contemporary appeal.

Don't miss out on this maritime marvel! Plan your visit to the 65th International Boat Show in Genoa and immerse yourself in a world of innovation, premieres, and nautical excellence.
