More space, more ships, more impact: the Nautical Hall expanded in the 2025 edition to the Mill of Barcelona to accommodate a more ambitious, international and experiential offer

The International Nautical Salon of Barcelona concludes its 62 edition with a high level of public and business that validates the strategic bet started this year with a new format, offer and visitor profile. In this context, large national and international buyers have enjoyed a renewed proposal with more variety of models, novelties and length.

After five days of intense activity, they have laid the foundations for the new proposal of the living room that, organized by Fira de Barcelona with the collaboration of the National Association of Nautical Companies, has incorporated ships of great length, a premium experience and the extension of the exhibition space to the Barcelona dock, which has allowed to host ships of greater size and prestige.

The new approach has attracted more than 18,000 visitors with a more exclusive profile than in previous editions characterized by their high purchasing capacity, which has generated a high-level business and networking environment. The presence of large buyers and leading international brands has strengthened the position of the living room as a reference in Europe for the nautical sector.

Thus, the exhibition offer has been the most complete in recent years, with 200 exhibitors and 500 boats, 130 in the water and 24% of these large length. They have highlighted the innovations and variety of models of leading brands such as De Antonio, Girbau, Karnic, Korbra, Rodman, Sea Ray or Nuva, among many others; the presentation of a world primeria (the Horizon FD100, a 31-metre yacht); the exhibition of the largest sample of catamarans in Europe; 16 models nominated for the best European ship of the year; and new developments in new motorcycles such as the Earthling E40 electric catamaran.

In addition, the living room has adapted the experience to the new profile of the visitor with new proposals such as the Village, the social and gastronomic space, with a menu of the chef with two stars Michelin, Rafa Zafra, who has become the epicenter of meetings and commercial relations during the living room.

The event has also focused on the new motorizations, sustainability and the blue economy, in the space of days and conferences Agora Port, organized by the Port of Barcelona, which with more than 30 sessions and a hundred experts has brought together the professionals of the sector to discuss and reflect on these great challenges and opportunities for the country's nautical and port sector.

The Nautical Hall will continue to evolve in the coming years to attract the main actors in the sector and to offer an increasingly exclusive and quality experience. In this regard, it is already preparing its next edition scheduled for 14-18 October 2026.
