Genoa's 66th International Boat Show Gains Exhibitor Confidence and Expands Facilities
The 66th Salone Nautico Internazionale will take place in Genoa from 1 to 6 October, reaffirming its role as the premier platform for the recreational boating industry. Despite a market affected by international geopolitical tensions, exhibitors have confirmed their confidence in the event’s traditional October schedule, viewing it as a stable window for business decisions.
The edition highlights a strengthened presence of major international yacht manufacturers and the introduction of new public‑facing spaces. Completed works on the Waterfront Levante area and the newly operational Palasport now host 74 commercial outlets and a dedicated food‑and‑beverage floor. An arena will host programmes that blend nautical innovation, sea‑culture, institutional dialogue and training, while the show also notes growing representation of yachts over 24 meters, underscoring the sector’s positive momentum and the leadership of Made‑in‑Italy products.
