Your guide to the Barcelona Boat Show

Published 11 July 2023

The 61st Barcelona International Boat Show will be held 11-15 October 2023. Learn what to expect from the event with the Burgess guide.

What is the Barcelona Boat Show?

If you’re on the lookout for a spectacular boat but are unsure on the size, type or category, the Barcelona Boat Show is the place to be. From world-renowned Oyster sailing yachts to smaller first-time exhibitors, the event, organised by Fira de Barcelona, provides an idyllic setting in which to become acquainted with all things nautical. With more than 40,000 visitors and 240 exhibitors flying in from around the globe, all bases are covered.

When is the Barcelona Boat Show? 

Set in the gorgeous city marina that is Port Vell Barcelona, the Barcelona International Boat Show takes place every year in mid-October. Just steps from the Catalan capital’s Gothic quarter and surrounded by the top tier bars, restaurants, boutiques and museums, the event is as well-placed to experience sea trials on the water as it is to enjoy authentic tapas for lunch. Pairing rich culture with a varied selection of exhibitors, it provides the perfect blend of leisure and business.

Event overview: Planning your trip to Barcelona  

Marina Port Vell is located just 40 minutes from Barcelona airport, with a well-serviced train station just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge. Depending on your area of interest, the show is divided into four distinct zones for experienced sailors and novices alike. The areas incorporate in-water exhibits – both boats and the latest watertoys – and an innovation hub for new start-ups, from new fishing gear to offshore sailing.

What else can I do in Barcelona? 

When in Barcelona, you’re spoilt for choice. The city is home to the largest number of Michelin-starred eateries in Europe. Take a trip to the world-famous football club Camp Nou, home to FC Barcelona, or visit the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where the Spanish Grand Prix, one of the oldest races in the world, is hotly contested. In the colder climes, a few hours’ drive will deliver you to the Pyrenees where you’ll find some of the best powder skiing around.

Charter a private helicopter 

One of the best ways to discover a city is by air. A private helicopter charter will fly you high into the sky, delivering a mesmerising bird’s eye view of Gaudi’s famed Park Güell, with its brightly mosaiced sculptures and landscaped gardens. Soar past the starchitect’s famously unfinished cathedral, the Sagrada Familia, and drink in the lattice-like streets of the Gothic quarter, all from the comfort of your privately chartered chopper.

Try a wine tasting tour 

Positioned just 35km southwest of Barcelona, the coastal town of Sitges makes for a convenient bolt-on to your attendance at the show. Flanked by the mountainous Parc Natural del Garraf and golden sandy beaches, it’s a popular weekend escape. A stay at Hotel Montserrat in the city centre will locate you just moments from the sea and lively night life. For something a little more adventurous, oenophiles should team it with a 30-minute train ride to enjoy a Montserrat wine tour or visit the serene Montserrat Monastery.

Drive a supercar  

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the shoes of a Formula One racer, then a supercar driving experience might just be the ticket. Enjoy an exclusive experience at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya at the wheel of a high-performance GT, or perhaps a signature red Ferrari is more your style. Feel the force as you negotiate tight chicanes, brace yourself for adrenaline-pumping turns and live the ultimate supercar experience for a day.

The Barcelona Boat Show sets course to an edition living the spirit of the America's Cup

The Barcelona Boat Show sets course to an edition living the spirit of the America’s Cup

The 61 st edition of the Barcelona International Show Boat will allow all the fans to experience what it means to be the venue for the third major international sporting competition, after the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. This October the show will help to bring the America’s Cup closer to the city, as well as bringing a wide range of boats and the whole nautical world to the Port Vell.

From the 11 th to the 15 th of October, the Marina Port Vell, Moll de la Fusta and Moll d’Espanya in the Catalan capital will once again be the epicentre of the nautical world with the commercial offer of the leading boat show in Spain and a benchmark event in Europe. But beyond being able to discover the latest models and innovations in boats, the show will be filled with the atmosphere of the America’s Cup in the city through exhibitions, workshops and experiences that will be held around it and that will aim to bring this legendary competition to fans, families and lovers of the sea.

The show will offer, among other activities, the possibility of visiting the America’s Cup Experience, an immersive exhibition space that will open at the beginning of August, where visitors will be able to feel, among other things, the sensations of sailing aboard an AC75 class monohull sailboat like those that will sail the waters off the Barcelona coastline during the competition in a virtual reality simulator.

In addition, the installation of the nautical bases of the various teams participating in the 37 th America’s Cup involves a new distribution of the Boat Show’s floor space. In this sense, the Inneos Britannia team’s base has already been set up on a large part of the Moll d’Espanya. Thus, the motor yachts will dock at the Marina Port Vell and Spain quays, while the Fusta quay will accommodate sailing boats, catamarans, and the range of nautical accessories.

The president of the event, Luis Conde, stated that “ the fact that the America’s Cup is part of this edition gives the show enormous added value, as it gives us the chance to breathe the spirit of an event of great global importance for the nautical world and for the city of Barcelona itself .”

The most sustainable nautical sector

On the other hand, sustainability, innovation and electrification to promote the transition of boating towards the blue economy will be the focus of the show which, organised by Fira de Barcelona, in collaboration with the National Association of Nautical Companies (ANEN), is expected to bring together over 220 exhibitors and 700 boats, 160 of which will be afloat.

The Boat Show will also offer activities to promote the practice of sports and recreational boating, as well as to reach new audiences. The director of the event, Josep Antoni Llopart, said that “ in this edition, we will bring sailing to all fans and we will once again be a business powerhouse for an industry of great importance for quality tourism in our country ”.

In this sense, the general director of ANEN, Jordi Carrasco, said that “ society wants to enjoy the sea and companies in the sector have options and experience to respond to all user profiles. This hobby will undoubtedly find an extraordinary opportunity to get closer to the sea during the Barcelona Boat Show, enjoying the prelude to the great event of world nautical sport, which is the America’s Cup .”

The show will once again be the key event to boost sales in a sector which, in the period between January and June, registered a total of 3,811 registrations, 7.3% more than the previous year. It is worth highlighting the good performance of the yacht charter market with 1,473 registrations, almost 40% of the total, in the first six months of this year.

Port Vell, Barcelona

24 - 27 Apr 2023

By Katie Scott

Returning once again to the iconic Port Vell in Barcelona, the MYBA Charter Show is scheduled to feature some of the most staggering yachts available for charter.

Scheduled to run from 24-27 April 2023, the event has become a mainstay in the international calendar for those in the superyacht sector, and is expected to welcome high numbers of attendees to view a captivating fleet of luxury yachts for charter this year. 

The show acts as a prime opportunity for brokers to tour some of the finest members of the charter fleet, and gather first-hand information on behalf of their clients.

The history of the show

Now in its fourth decade, the industry-only event made the switch from its previous address in Italy in 2017.

The show was held in Genoa for almost thirty years before moving to the glitzy setting of OnceOcean Port Vell, where it will now be hosted for the foreseeable future.

Organised by MYBA, the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association, the line-up for the 33rd edition will boast a spectacular selection of superyachts.

As well as stepping on board to experience these yachts for themselves, brokers are also able to meet with captains and crew, and attend informative events designed to facilitate networking and connecting with fellow attendees.

Ancillary events

The highly-anticipated Chef’s Competition will be making a comeback to the MYBA Charter Show this year. Putting superyacht chefs through their paces, the competitors will be tasked with impressing an expert panel of judges with their menus.

Alongside them, interior crews will be attempting to wow judges with a Tabletop competition and deck teams will be putting their entertainment skills to the test in separate contests which will inject some fun into proceedings.

To find out more about the event, read all about it in the guide to the MYBA Charter Show . Or, to get extra details about some of the yachts attending the event this year contact your preferred yacht charter broker today.

TRADE SHOW ONLY

This event is NOT open to the general public. If you are interested in any particular yacht please contact your broker to inspect it and meet the crew on your behalf.

Barcelona Boat Show and the one year countdown to the America’s Cup 2024

We take to the water for this newsletter, focusing on two events: the Barcelona Boat Show and the one year countdown to the America’s Cup 2024. Barcelona’s location on the Mediterranean Sea is vital part of its history, a former fishing town with a sea-faring tradition transformed into a world-class city with a thriving international port.

Antares is proud to be part of Barcelona’s modern transformation, its location in Poblenou part of the city’s latest expansion. This is undoubtedly the city’s most international neighbourhood, popular with professionals for its location on the seafront at the epicentre of Barcelona’s creative, innovative and tech industries. Do come and visit and let us introduce you to Antares, an exciting addition to city life.

Best wishes

Barcelona Boat Show 2023

Barcelona’s 61st annual international boat show, the Salón Náutico , takes over Port Vell from 11th to 15th October with 279 exhibitors and 700 boats, a colourful display of yachts, luxury cruisers, catamarans and inflatables in the heart of the city. Visitors can discover the latest innovations in the nautical industry, visit the innovation hub for start-ups and this year, experience being aboard an AC75 class monohull, one of the America’s Cup yachts, in a virtual simulator.

America’s Cup 2024

This year’s boat show carries extra vibrancy, coming just twelve months before Barcelona hosts the 37th America’s Cup , the world’s most prestigious sailing competition. The America’s Cup Experience, next to the teams’ bases in Port Vell and already open, brings the event vividly to life while the preliminary regatta sees racing start on the final day of the boat show, with all five challenger teams in action.

Barcelona and Antares both provide a lifestyle based on design and luxury, an opportunity to be both global and truly authentic.

Take a sneak peek at the biggest and most expensive boats at 2024's Palm Beach yacht show

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter) Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

Time for a bigger boat? Check out what the Palm Beach International Boat Show has to offer

Whether you're the son of a son of a sailor or even just love that song and want to know more, the granddaddy of all boating events is happening this weekend along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

That's right, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is back for four glorious days along Flagler Drive.

This will be the 42nd annual event, and organizers promise it will be bigger and better than ever.

There will be $1.2 billion worth of Bond-worthy super yachts, cruisers, sportfishing boats, center consoles and even inflatables to see and tour, along with attractions and activities highlighting the latest in boat engines, motors and accessories. There will also be the latest fishing gear and even fishing seminars.

Yes, it's a big event, but don't be intimidated. In fact, here are seven fun facts about the show:

How many boats can this boat show boast?

There will be more than 800 boats on display along the floating docks in the Intracoastal Waterway.

What is the biggest boat at the boat show?

With a length of 236 feet (and 38 feet wide), Casino Royale takes the title for largest boat this year. This gorgeous yacht, designed for her exterior lines by Francesco Paszkowski with interior by Paszkowski’s interior lead designer Margherita Casprini, is also one of the most technically advanced yachts in her category. Casino Royale is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516B main engines and has an impressive top speed of 17.5 knots. You can put your checkbooks away for this one, however, as she is only on display and not for sale.

This boat is the boat show's most epensive

Built in 2022 and 196-feet long, Come Together is listed for $59,950,000. This expedition yacht was delivered by the Dutch shipyard Amels and features interior styling by British designer Winch Design. It can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins along with 14 crew members.

Are spectators allowed to go on the boats?

To go onboard the yachts and superyachts, visitors must make an appointment with the brokers. For the smaller boats, however, spectators can come onboard if they are interested in buying.

What is the smallest boat?

The smallest boat being displayed on the water is a runabout boat that is 22-feet-6-inches long, and 5-feet-11 wide. It is manufactured by Hermes.

Eating inside the boat show

The show will have dozens of food concessions featuring almost anything you could be craving, from Greek gyros to woodfired picanha, authentic street tacos and hand-crafted burgers. On a seafood diet? Enjoy fresh stone crab claws, calamari, oysters, and much more! Vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free? No problem; they have options for you as well.

And libations at the boat show?

Of course there will be drinks. To be precise, there will be four bars for general admission guests, including two floating cocktail barges: the Goslings Island Bar and the Anheuser-Busch Barge. In addition there will be multiple bars in the Windward VIP Club.

Palm Beach International Boat Show returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

The Palm Beach International Boat Show returns this week with more nearly 1,000 vessels on display, including super yachts from around the world.

Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs March 21-24 along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

The show, which started in 1982, has grown to a major economic engine for the community, with last year's impact estimated at $1.05 billion statewide — nearly as much as the $1.3 billion Miami International Boat Show, said Alyssa Freeman, executive director of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, which owns the boat show.

"Palm Beach is really not that far behind Miami, and Miami is the biggest in the world," Freeman said. "That was really exciting."

This year's boat show features an expanded Super Yacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina, showcasing yachts that typically stretch longer than 80 feet and have a variety of luxurious amenities that include hot tubs, crew quarters, dance floors and sun decks.

"We have more super yachts there than we ever have before, and they're even bigger," Freeman said, noting that at 236 feet, the vessel Casino Royale takes the title of largest yacht at this year's show. The title of "most expensive yacht" goes to Come Together, a 196-foot vessel priced at $59.95 million.

"Everybody, when they think about super yachts, they think about Monaco and Miami, but Palm Beach is a real player in these boat shows and the yachting world," Freeman said.

Exhibitors continue to be drawn to the Palm Beach International Boat Show by the opportunity for high sales year after year when compared with other South Florida boat shows, she said.

"I've heard from several of them, this is their favorite show to attend," Freeman said, "And that's why, because their sales are higher at Palm Beach."

The show continues to make headway in improving its sustainability efforts, she said. After reducing single-use plastics, a major change this year is the addition of water bottle refilling stations throughout the show, Freeman said.

"I think that's exciting because everybody's talking about sustainability and how we can be more sustainable," she said. "Every year, we take little steps to be more sustainable."

Freeman said she is excited for this year's AquaZone presented by Nautical Ventures. The attraction showcases some of the "yacht toys" that are new or popular on the market.

"It's so cool, because there are people actually in the water demoing yacht toys, and it's usually the latest and greatest," she said. "There's always something new every year that we've never seen before."

The Palm Beach International Boat Show also features a range of seminars, demonstrations and discussions throughout the weekend, including mental health in yachting, tips to boat to the Bahamas, safe boating to protect sea turtles and how to address active threats and piracy.

Freeman, who has children, said she loves the Kids Fishing Clinics scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with captain Don Dingman.

"Captain Don has been doing this for years, and he does a fantastic job," Freeman said. "The kids actually get to go home with a free rod and reel once the clinic is over."

The association produces the Palm Beach International Boat Show with Informa Markets' U.S. Boat Shows division.

"As we gear up for the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, we are excited for our return to Downtown West Palm Beach to celebrate the rich history of this esteemed event," Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets, said in a news release. "Each year, we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support from the community, which truly makes this event a highlight on the calendar for both residents and visitors alike."

Informa also produces the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show happening March 21-24, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. A Windward VIP ticket to the boat show includes admission to the art show as well.

In addition to serving as a cornerstone festival of spring in West Palm Beach, the boat show launched the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back program to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to local nonprofits, Freeman said.

The grant program had a soft launch last year and formalized the boat show's four-decade practice of giving back to the community, Freeman said.

"We're really excited about it," said Freeman, who added that the boat show team is working with the Community Foundation to manage the grant program, which they hope to grow. "That's something that's a super high priority for us."

Money raised through a portion of the boat show's ticket sales, optional add-ons and some related activities goes toward the fund.

The boat show in February announced that the first round of grants totaling $500,000 would go to 25 nonprofits that have marine-related programs or projects, including Florida Fishing Academy, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Florida Atlantic University, Inlet Grove High School, Palm Beach State College, Sea Turtle Adventures and Friends of Manatee Lagoon.

"We're hoping one day we'll be able to say that it's a million dollars," she said. "So fingers crossed. It relies on the success of the boat show and the support of the community. With that, we will continue to grow."
