Online ticketing is now open for the event, taking place from 1 to 6 October 2026.
The online ticketing platform is now live as preparations for the 66th Genoa International Boat Show, scheduled to take place from 1 to 6 October 2026, enter their final stages. Among the initiatives announced for the 2026 edition is the return of the special Under-25 ticket, priced at €13, a decision that forms an integral part of Confindustria Nautica’s wider commitment to introducing younger generations to maritime culture and careers in the yachting sector. This direction also includes career guidance activities for students and access to the new D1 boating licence, promoted by Confindustria Nautica and available to young enthusiasts aged 16 and over.
The second edition of TechTrade Days, scheduled for 1 and 2 October, will also take place at the Genoa Boat Show this year. This B2B event, dedicated to marine accessories, equipment and components, follows on from last year’s successful debut and is now one of the key tools through which the Boat Show reinforces its role as a world-class platform for business development.
Over 400 brands will showcase the sector’s latest innovations in the TechTrade area of the Blue Pavilion, dedicated to business, technology and professional networking, facilitating meetings between manufacturers, suppliers, designers, procurement departments and shipyards in a setting designed to foster new commercial relationships and market opportunities.
