The Venice Boat Show returns to the city from Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th May 2027.

Following its seventh edition in 2026, Venice will once again host one of the leading international events dedicated to the nautical industry. The exhibition takes place at the Venice Arsenale, a symbol of the centuries-old military power of the Serenissima Republic and the beating heart of its shipbuilding industry. An incomparable historic setting in the very centre of Venice, featuring a large water basin and beautifully restored historic pavilions.

The event explores every aspect of boating and boatbuilding, from design and technology to engines and environmental sustainability.

Particular attention is devoted to design and innovation, as well as to electric, hybrid and hydrogen propulsion systems, alongside the traditional boatbuilding craftsmanship of the Venetian Lagoon, one of the highlights of the city’s centuries-old maritime heritage.

The event also features:

meetings, presentations and thematic conferences;
an E-Village dedicated to the electric boats taking part in the E-Regatta;
exhibitions, art installations, guided tours and educational activities for children;
on-water trials, trophies and sporting regattas;
design and craftsmanship stands, technology and nautical furnishings;
food and beverage areas offering Venetian specialities, bars and official merchandising.

The Venice Boat Show is promoted by the City of Venice and organised through Vela S.p.A., in collaboration with the Italian Navy.
