The leading professional event for the nautical sector will take place on 12th and 13th of March at Casa Colón, featuring an agenda that will explore the origins of boating, the industry’s transformation, and the key drivers shaping its future.

The Balearic Islands maintained their prominence in 2025 as Spain’s leading market for recreational boat registrations, despite recording a year-on-year decline in activity.

The 18,2 % drop in registries of boats has not stopped the Balearics from being the leading areas in the general market as well as in the charter area.

Amsterdam became the epicentre of the international nautical industry from 18 to 20 November with the celebration of Metstrade (Marine Equipment Trade Show), the world’s most important B2B trade fair.
