The 28th edition of the Marina de Vilamoura International Boat Show wrapped up on 15 June after nine spectacular days, cementing its reputation as one of the most important marine events in Southern Europe.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of Portugal’s most awarded marina, the show welcomed thousands of visitors and brought together boating enthusiasts, industry leaders, and newcomers alike. With over 100 vessels on display, both new and pre-owned, and more than 30 exhibitors representing 50+ global brands, the event offered a comprehensive view of the latest innovations in nautical design, technology, and lifestyle.
From leading marine names such as Roadman, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, and Garmin to boutique service providers, the open-air format allowed guests to explore, connect, and test-drive products in a real-world marina setting. Business meetings took place aboard yachts, new partnerships were formed dockside, and the energy throughout the marina was one of discovery and connection.
In addition to the boats, visitors experienced a vibrant showcase of marine accessories, water sports gear, and integrated lifestyle services. The show also provided personalised service and immersive demonstrations, a true highlight for those seeking hands-on insights.
Free to attend, this year’s event confirmed Vilamoura as a premier destination not only for leisure but also for luxury marine innovation.
Until next year, smooth sailing ahead.
