Yacht shows are an important tool to get to know many different new companies and yachts in a short period of time. There are few shows that you should mark in your calendar not to miss. Usually the year starts with boot Düsseldorf, the largest indoor water show in the world. While the Yacht Show focuses on promoting water toys, rigid hull inflatable boats, fishing equipment and apparel, there are few halls where sailing yachts and motor and super yachts up to 30 meters in length are displayed. Most European yacht manufacturers in this size segment exhibit at this German boat show in January.

This is followed shortly thereafter in March by the Palm Beach Boat Show, which tends to promote brokerage yachts for immediate sale and larger new construction projects by the exhibiting yacht yard.

After the summer break, the famous Cannes Yachting Festival takes place in September in the two ports of Cannes. Most yacht shipyards present some yachts at this fair as a world premiere, with the yachts also available for sea trials at the usual times. The focus of this show is on European and Turkish shipyards exhibiting yachts up to 45 meters in length. There is also an increasing demand and exhibition space for catamarans and dinghies.

The Monaco Yacht Show is the perfect end to the yacht show season in the Mediterranean and is one of the most important events of the year. Boat builders from all over the world, brokerage houses and major players in the industry and luxury segment exhibit their best products and services.
