Just over three months after its start, the Valencia Boat Show has already confirmed more than 50% of its exhibitors, many of whom repeat experience following the good results obtained in the 2016 edition. Companies have taken advantage of the offer of early registration discount room, which ends on July 31.

The Valencia Boat Show confirmed in the 2016 edition the success of its new concept, strategy and location: autumn dates and an exhibition dedicated only to new boats and new developments in the sector. At the end of the living room, 78% of the exhibitors rated the change in the living room model as good or very good and scored the new location with 8.1 out of 10.

The good experience and results of last year, with a turnover of 4.3 million euros for sale of ships between 5 and 18 meters long and good communications and the competitive offer in accommodation and restoration of Valencia, have made that in the absence of three months for the beginning of the contest, the Valencian nautical hall already has more than 50% of the confirmed exhibitors.

Among the marks that repeat the experience are the Azimut and Hanse shipyards, of the hand of Marina Estrella, as well as Bavaria or Beneteau, who will come with their official fleet. They will also return to Valencia with many new companies such as Eromar, Marine Team that will present the ships Eman S3 or the new model of the Swedish shipyard Nimbus, the Nimbus 305 Coupé, Xiram, Aquarin, Whisper Power Iberian, the insurance company Yachtsman, or engine companies Pasch and Cia, Volvo Penta or Sole Diesel.

Among the new additions will be the Invents and Inventors Club that will present its prototype of portable propulsion for recreational boats, Aps Motor or Surfski School, which will have several surfski models available to test in the water.

The Valencia Boat Show is organized by the Union of Nautical Enterprises (UEN), an association of companies in the nautical sector of the Valencia Community, with the support of Consortium Valencia 2007, the public body formed by the City of Valencia, the Generalitat Valenciana and the Government of Spain that manages the infrastructure of the Marina Real Juan Carlos I, as well as Tourism Valencia, the City of Valencia, the City of Valencia and the Generalitat Valenciana.
