Seaquip 2026 reports strong exhibitor interest

Seaquip

Seaquip 2026, the new Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair, has seen at least 46 companies reserve space, with 40 participants confirmed — including two international exhibitors — in the first two months since the event launched.

The first edition of the event is scheduled for 4–6 March 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho in Milan, Italy, and is designed as a B2B platform for the marine industry, focusing on accessories and components for yachts and superyachts.

Seaquip was launched in November 2024, and has generated interest across the marine sector. The three-day event is expected to attract over 150 exhibitors, bringing together shipyards, suppliers, and industry leaders to showcase advanced technologies and facilitate networking.

The trade fair is organised by Easyfairs Group’s Italian branch, a global organiser of more than 110 events annually in 12 countries.

Organisers say exhibitor and visitor inquiries continue to grow, with many seeking information about costs, themes, and opportunities at the event.

Upon the launch, Pierpaolo Ponchia, managing director of Easyfairs Italy, said: “The project aims to launch an event that enables the European yachting market to meet in Italy, the country that leads the industry.

“At Easyfairs group, which manages over 100 B2B trade fairs in Europe, we have the know-how to create an event that will meet the industry’s needs right from the very first year, offering highly qualified networking opportunities,”

Seaquip is focused on technological innovation and aims to strengthen networking between shipyards and suppliers. The choice of Milan as the host city is strategic, offering convenient access for international professionals and investors across Europe. The early spring timing has been selected to maximise attendance and engagement from international operators prior to the Mediterranean yachting season. 

Keep abreast of which boat shows and events are coming up over the next few months.
